Using the HP Display Assistant Utility

HP Display Assistant, included on the software and documentation CD, is a software utility that guides you through the tuning process with easy to understand instructions and background patterns designed for each monitor control. It provides:

●Accurate screen calibration through the use of step-by-step instruction Wizards to obtain the best overall image quality.

●Software control of the monitor image and color settings to eliminate dependence on the monitor’s front panel buttons and On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.

●Defined preset display settings for each individual user in a multi-user environment.

●Multiple preset display settings for a single user based on content and ambient lighting.

●Asset Management and Power Management capabilities that include remote control for individual or a group of displays on the domain from a centralized console application.

The HP Display Assistant Utility has two modes of operation: Wizard and OSD mode. The preferred method of use is Wizard mode, which takes you through a step-by-step process to accurately calibrate the monitor. This method relies on a sequence of steps that will obtain the best display results when completed.

NOTE: Refer to the HP Display Assistant user guide for additional information about the software.
