Optimizing Analog Video
This monitor contains advanced circuitry that allows the flat panel
screen to function as a standard monitor. Two controls in the
on-screen display can be adjusted to improve image performance:
Clock and Clock Phase. Use these controls only when the
auto-adjust function does not provide a satisfactory image.
The Clock must first be set correctly since the Clock Phase settings
are dependent on the main Clock setting.
✎
■ Clock — Increase or decrease the value to minimize any
vertical bars or stripes visible on the screen background.
■ Clock Phase — Increase or decrease the value to minimize
video distortion or video jitter.
When using the controls, you will obtain the best results by using
the adjustment pattern application provided on the CD-ROM.
✎

When adjusting the Clock and Clock Phase values, if the monitor
images become distorted, continue adjusting the values until the
distortion disappears. To restore the factory settings, select Yes

LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy
for f1904 Monitor
The HP f1904 TFT monitor uses high-precision technology,
manufactured according to HP standards, to guarantee trouble-free
performance. Nevertheless, the display may have cosmetic
imperfections that appear as small bright or dark spots. This is
common to all LCD displays used in products supplied by all
vendors and is not specific to the HP f1904 displays. These
imperfections are caused by one or more defective pixels or
sub-pixels.
■ A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel.
■ A defective whole pixel is always turned on (a bright spot on a
dark background), or it is always off (a dark spot on a bright
background). The first is the more visible of the two.
■ A defective sub-pixel (dot defect) is less visible than a defective
whole pixel and is small and only visible on a specific
background.
The HP f1904 display does not have more than:
■ Less than 5 total dot defects
■ 0 defective full pixels
■ 3 defective bright sub-pixels (maximum)
■ 5 defective dark sub-pixels (maximum)
■ No more than two adjacent (less than 2.5 mm edge-to-edge)
and defective pixels
■ No more than two pairs of two adjacent defective pixels
To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under
normal operating conditions and in normal operating mode at a
supported resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of
approximately 50 cm (16 in.).
HP expects that, over time, the industry will continue to improve its
ability to produce displays with fewer cosmetic imperfections and
HP will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.

Entering User Modes
The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is
not preset if:
■ You are not using a standard graphics adapter.
■ You are not using a preset mode.
If this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the
monitor screen by using the on-screen display. Your changes can
be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memory. The
monitor automatically stores the new setting, then recognizes the
new mode just as it does a preset mode. In addition to the 16
factory preset modes, there are four user modes that can be
entered and stored.
Energy Saver Feature
When the monitor is in its normal operating mode, the monitor
uses less than 40 watts of power and the Power light is green.
The monitor also supports a reduced power state. The reduced
power state will be entered into if the monitor detects the absence
of either the horizontal sync signal and/or the vertical sync signal.
Upon detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is
blanked, the backlight is turned off, and the Power light is turned
amber. When the monitor is in the reduced power state, the
monitor will utilize less than 2 watts of power. There is a brief
warm up period before the monitor will return to its normal
operating mode.
