Operating the monitor

Software and utilities

The disc that comes with the monitor contains files you can install on the computer:
an .INF (Information) file
●
ICM (Image Color Matching) files (one for each calibrated color space)
●
My Display software
●

The Information file

The .INF file defines monitor resources used by Microsoft Windows operating systems to ensure
monitor compatibility with the computer's graphics adapter.
This monitor is Microsoft Windows Plug and Play compatible and the monitor will work correctly
without installing the .INF file. Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer's
graphic card is VESA DDC2–compliant and that the monitor connects directly to the graphics card.
Plug and Play does not work through separate BNC type connectors or through distribution buffers/
boxes.

The Image Color Matching file

The .ICM files are data files that are used in conjunction with graphics programs to provide consistent
color matching from monitor screen to printer, or from scanner to monitor screen. This file is activated
from within graphics programs that support this feature.
NOTE: The ICM color profile is written in accordance with the International Color Consortium (ICC)
Profile Format specification.

Installing the .INF and .ICM files

After you determine that you need to update, you can install the .INF and .ICM files from the disc or
download them.

Installing from the disc

To install the .INF and .ICM files on the computer from the disc:
1. Insert the disc in the computer optical drive. The disc menu is displayed.
2. View the HP Monitor Software Information file.
