HP Watermark and Image Retention Policy

The IPS monitor models are designed with IPS (In-Plane Switching) display technology which provides ultra-wide viewing angles and advanced image quality. IPS monitors are suitable for a wide variety of advanced image quality applications. This panel technology, however, is not suitable for applications that exhibit static, stationary or fixed images for long periods of time without the use of screen savers. These types of applications may include camera surveillance, video games, marketing logos, and templates that are displayed on the screen for a prolonged period of time. Static images may cause image retention damage that could look like stains or watermarks on the monitor's screen.

Monitors in use for 24 hours per day that result in image retention damage are not covered under the HP warranty. To avoid image retention damage, always turn off the monitor when it is not in use or use the power management setting, if supported on your system, to turn off the display when the system is idle.

Connecting USB Devices

USB connectors are used to connect devices such as a digital camera, USB keyboard, or USB mouse. Two USB connectors are located on the side panel of the monitor.

NOTE: You must connect the USB hub cable from the monitor to the computer to enable the USB 2.0 ports on the monitor. Refer to Step 4 in Connecting the Cables on page 5.
