Operating the Monitor

Overview of Operation

If you are not familiar with HP Performance monitors, read this section for an overview of how they
operate. This will help you locate specific information elsewhere in this manual.
Your monitor provides for more than one source of input. It will scan the various inputs to find an active
one and display that image. You can change sources manually, using the
panel. The scanning order is initially set to DisplayPort, DVI-D, HDMI, VGA, making DisplayPort the
default source of video.
Some models give you control of the scanning order and default source through an On-Screen Display
(OSD) menu. If your front panel has a menu (
prevent the monitor from switching sources.
If the monitor is not receiving any input, it will go into low power mode ("sleep") and the LED on the
front will turn from blue to amber. This means that the monitor will sleep when the computer does,
unless it has some other source of input. You can send it into low-power mode using the power (
button on the front. The OSD lets you put sleeping and waking on a timer or stay awake all the time
(not recommended).
Your monitor displays its state through the LED on the front panel and through messages on the screen.
These indicators vary from one model to another, but all use the following LED indicators:
Blue – normal operation
●
Amber – low-power mode
●
Flashing blue – the input calls for higher resolution than the monitor can provide
●
Flashing amber – timed sleep, that is, the monitor is in low-power mode and will awaken on a
●
timer
No light – normal operation or power off
●
In addition to these indicators, some models use screen messages as well, detailed later in this chapter.
Image quality is well-controlled with digital inputs. For analog input, various tools are provided for
adjusting the quality: a software utility, an auto-adjust function, and options in the OSD.
