Software and Utilities
The CD that comes with the monitor contains files you can install on your computer:
●
an .INF (Information) file
●
an .ICM (Image Color Matching) file
●
additional software for the monitor model
Adobe Reader is supplied on this CD and can be installed from the menu.
NOTE If the monitor does not include a CD, the .INF and .ICM files can be downloaded from
the HP monitors support Web site. See
Downloading from the Worldwide Web in this chapter.
The Information File
The .INF file defines monitor resources used by Microsoft Windows operating systems to ensure monitor
compatibility with the computer’s graphics adapter.
This monitor is Microsoft Windows Plug and Play compatible and the monitor will work correctly without
installing the .INF file. Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer’s graphic card is
VESA DDC2 compliant and that the monitor connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does
not work through separate BNC type connectors or through distribution buffers/boxes.
The Image Color Matching File
The .ICM files are data files that are used in conjunction with graphics programs to provide consistent
color matching from monitor screen to printer, or from scanner to monitor screen. The .ICM file contains
a monitor color system profile. This file is activated from within graphics programs that support this
feature.
NOTE The ICM color profile is written in accordance with the International Color Consortium
(ICC) Profile Format specification.
Installing the .INF and .ICM Files
After you determine that you need to update, you can install the .INF and .ICM files from the CD or
download them.
