HP DreamColor Z27x Professional Display Adjusting the Bezel Button LEDs, Using Auto-Sleep Mode

Adjusting the Bezel Button LEDs

The bezel button LEDs have an automatic fade-out feature that is active by default. The LEDs will fade after the OSD timeout period. You can change the LED behavior so that they do not fade out and you can also adjust the brightness of the LEDs if the fade-out feature is disabled.

To disable the bezel button fade-out feature:

1.Press one of the five front bezel buttons to activate the buttons, and then press the bottom Open Menu button to open the OSD.

2.In the OSD, select Menu and Message Control > Bezel Button Auto-Fade > Disable (Always On).

If the bezel button fade-out feature has been disabled (as described above), you can adjust the brightness of the buttons on the front bezel to different levels of ambient lighting.

To change the bezel button brightness:

1.Press one of the five front bezel buttons to activate the buttons, and then press the bottom Open Menu button to open the OSD.

2.In the OSD, select Menu and Message Control > Bezel Button Brightness and use the adjustment scale to set the buttons to the desired brightness.

You can also change the color of the button LEDs on the front bezel. You can make the button LEDs white or red, or set them to automatically change from white to red when ambient lighting is reduced. Red should be used when operating the monitor in low-light environments. The white LED color can negatively impact your eye's color sensitivity while red will not.

To change the bezel button color:

1.Press one of the five front bezel buttons to activate the buttons, and then press the bottom Open Menu button to open the OSD.

2.In the OSD, select Menu and Message Control > Bezel Button color and select either Always White, Always Red, or Switch to Red at 70 cd/m 2.

Using Auto-Sleep Mode

The display supports an OSD (On-Screen Display) option called Auto-Sleep Mode, that allows you to enable or disable a reduced power state for the display. When Auto-Sleep Mode is enabled (enabled by default), the monitor will enter a reduced power state when the host PC signals low power mode (absence of either horizontal or vertical sync signal).

Upon entering this reduced power state sleep mode, the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight is turned off and the power LED indicator turns amber. The monitor draws less than 0.5W of power when in this reduced power mode. The monitor will wake from the sleep mode when the host PC sends an active signal to the monitor (for example, if you activate the mouse or keyboard).

You can disable the Auto-Sleep Mode in the OSD. Press one of the five front bezel buttons to activate the buttons, and then press the bottom Open Menu button to open the OSD. In the OSD press Management > Auto-Sleep> Disable.
