Description:
This disk contains the HP Display Installer program, which automatically detects your computer's
Microsoft Operating System and installs the corresponding Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality
Labs (WHQL) certified monitor .INF and .ICM driver files that are used to configure your HP Monitor.
The setup information, or .INF file, defines monitor resources used by Microsoft Windows in order to
ensure monitor compatibility with your computer's graphics card.
The image color matching, or .ICM file, is a color data file that is used in conjunction with graphics
applications to provide consistent color matching from monitor screen to printer, or from scanner to
the monitor screen. The .ICM file is only activated from within the graphics applications that support
this feature.
Expanded INF and ICM files for your monitor are located on the monitor software CD/DVD under the
"X:\Software\HP Monitor Drivers" folder (where X is the drive letter designator for the CD-ROM
drive).

Plug- and-Play Compatibility:

HP monitors are Microsoft Windows Plug and Play compatible.
HP monitors will work correctly without their INF and ICM files installed.
With the monitor attached directly to your computer, and without the INF file installed,
Microsoft Windows XP operating systems will recognize your monitor as a "Plug and Play Monitor."
Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating systems will recognize your monitor as a
"Generic PnP Monitor". The correct resolutions will be available in the Windows Display control panel.
Note that monitor Plug and Play compatibility is dependent on several items:
a. The computer's graphics card must be VESA DDC2 compliant.
b. The graphics card driver must be installed and the card recognized by Microsoft Windows.
c. The monitor must be connected directly to the graphics card.
Plug and Play does not work through the separate BNC type connectors nor through
distribution buffers or boxes.

The HP Adjustment Pattern utility is a single-pattern program that is designed to help improve the
picture quality of HP and Compaq flat panel monitors that are attached to computers using an analog

Adjustment Pattern utility if the attached HP or Compaq flat panel monitor is using a digital video
connector (HDMI, DisplayPort or DVI-D) coming from the computer.

Note: To achieve optimal picture performance, it is recommended that you always set the operating
system display settings to your flat panel's native resolution. Please refer to your monitor's user
guide for correct native resolution information.

How To Use:
Use the following procedure if your flat panel monitor is using an analog video cable, (VGA connector
on computer end).
1. Run the "Adjustment pattern.exe" program.
2. Press the "AUTO" button on your flat panel monitor or select the Auto-Adjustment function from
the monitor OSD menu. Both methods perform the same function.

Image quality characteristics that can be improved:

- Fuzzy or unclear focus
- Ghosting, streaking or shadowing effects
- Faint vertical bars
- Thin horizontal scrolling lines
- Centering the picture
