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) (select models)
●
My Display software (select models)
●
HP Display Assistant software (select models)

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 (select models)
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
NOTE:
The .ICM files are available for select models only.
After you determine that you need to update, you can install the .INF and .ICM files from the disc or
download them.

1.
