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.
Identifying Monitor Conditions
Special messages will appear on the monitor screen when identifying the following monitor conditions:
●

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), the default source
signal, the current preset display resolution, and the recommended preset display resolution.
●
Input Signal Out of Range—Change resolution setting to 1280 x 1024 – 60Hz—Indicates the
monitor does not support the input signal because the resolution and/or refresh rate are set higher
than the monitor supports.

video input connector. Check to determine if the PC or input signal source is off or in the power
