1Overview

What is HP Display Assistant?

Monitor performance can vary due to the graphics cards, host computers, lighting conditions, and other

environmental factors. To get the best image on a monitor, you must adjust it for your unique setting.

Using the manual controls to adjust the image can often be challenging. In most cases, even simple

adjustments to brightness or contrast require navigation of the multi-level, on-screen display (OSD)

menus that can be difficult to understand. Furthermore, there is no feedback to help you correctly adjust

the monitor settings.

HP Display Assistant is a software utility that allows you to quickly and accurately adjust the display

settings and save the configurations that are best suited for you and your environment. The utility guides

you through the monitor adjustment process with easy-to-understand instructions and background

patterns designed for each adjustment so that you can obtain the best overall picture quality. You can

save multiple display settings to files called “presets” that can be quickly loaded for multiple users or a

single user working under various environmental conditions.

HP Display Assistant allows for monitor adjustment and color tuning using the Display Data Channel

Command Interface (DDC/CI) protocol. All adjustments to the display are controlled by software,

eliminating the need to use the monitor on-screen display (OSD) manual controls.

HP Display Assistant supports Microsoft Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, Windows NT, XP Home, XP

Professional, and Vista.

Installing HP Display Assistant

1. Insert the Software and Documentation CD included with your monitor into a CD or DVD drive on

your computer. The CD will automatically run and display the HP Monitors Software and

Documentation window.

2. Select a language from the drop-down list and click the >> button.

3. Click Install HP Display Assistant Utility.

4. Select a language from the drop-down list and click the OK button.

5. Follow the instructions in the InstallShield Wizard to complete the installation.

Wizard and OSD Modes

HP Display Assistant has two modes of operation: Wizard mode and OSD mode.

The recommended mode of operation is Wizard mode, which takes you through a step-by-step process

to accurately calibrate all the monitor settings.

OSD mode allows you to make changes to any single monitor setting without the need to go through a

predefined sequence of steps for all settings. This method is less accurate than Wizard mode, but allows

you to quickly adjust any monitor setting.
