HP Z38c 37.5" 21:9 Curved IPS Monitor (Smart Buy) - Manual (Page 19)

Turning on the monitor
1. Set the master power switch on the rear of the monitor to the On position.
2. Press the power button on the source device to turn it on.
3. Press the power button on the front of the monitor to turn it on.
CAUTION: Burn-in image damage may occur on monitors that display the same static image on the screen
for 12 consecutive hours of nonuse. To avoid burn-in image damage on the monitor screen, you should
always activate a screen saver application or turn off the monitor when it is not in use for a prolonged period
of time. Image retention is a condition that may occur on all LCD screens. Monitors with a “burned-in image”
are not covered under the HP warranty.
NOTE: If pressing the power button has no effect, the power button lockout feature may be enabled. To
disable this feature, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.
NOTE: You can disable the power light in the OSD menu. Press the menu button on the monitor, select
Power Control, select Power LED, and then select Off.
When the monitor is powered on, a Monitor Status message is displayed for five seconds. The message shows
which input is the current active signal, the status of the auto-switch source setting (On or Off; factory default
is On), the current preset screen resolution, and the recommended preset screen resolution.
The monitor automatically scans the signal inputs for an active input and uses that input.
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.
