HP E27q 27" 16:9 IPS Monitor - Manual (Page 22)

Turning on the monitor
IMPORTANT: Burn-in image damage may occur on monitors that display the same static image on the
screen for 12 or more hours. To avoid burn-in image damage, you should always activate a screen saver
application or turn off the monitor when it will not be in use for a prolonged period of time. Image retention is
a condition that may occur on all LCD screens. Burn-in damage on the monitor is not covered under the HP
warranty.
NOTE: If pressing the power button has no effect, the Power Button Lockout feature might be enabled. To
disable this feature, press and hold the monitor power button for 10 seconds.
NOTE: On select HP monitors, you can disable the power light in the OSD menu. Press the Menu button to
open the OSD, select Power, select Power LED, and then select Off.
▲ Press the power button on the monitor to turn it on.
When the monitor is first turned on, a monitor status message is displayed for 5 seconds. The message shows
which input is the current active signal, the status of the auto-switch source setting (On or Off; default setting
is On), the current preset display resolution, and the recommended preset display resolution.
The monitor automatically scans the signal inputs for an active input and uses that input for the display.
HP watermark and image retention policy
The IPS monitor models are designed with In-Plane Switching (IPS) 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. Static images
may cause image retention damage that could look like stains or watermarks on the monitor’s screen.
Image retention damage on monitors that are in use 24 hours per day is 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 monitor when the system is idle.
