The HP D2828A HP52 is a 15-inch color monitor designed for use with Hewlett-Packard PCs, offering a 13.8-inch viewable image. This multi-synchronous monitor supports a range of video modes and is optimized for use with HP systems.
The primary function of the HP D2828A HP52 monitor is to display visual information from a connected PC. It features a flat square tube with a 0.28 mm dot pitch, which contributes to excellent graphics quality. The screen is equipped with an anti-glare, anti-static silica coating to minimize reflections and reduce eye strain.
The monitor supports various video solutions, including VGA and Ergonomic VGA (640x480), Super VGA and Ergonomic Super VGA (800x600), and Ultra VGA (1024x768 non-interlaced). It offers a high refresh rate of 85 Hz in VGA and SVGA (VESA standard), which helps provide a flicker-free image and further reduces eye strain.
A key feature of this monitor is its display power management system, which complies with the VESA standard. When connected to suitably equipped HP PCs, the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption. As an Energy Star Partner, the HP D2828A HP52 meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency. It can enter different power-saving modes:
The monitor also boasts Plug and Play capability, adhering to the VESA DDC1/2B standard. This allows the monitor to identify itself to compatible HP PCs, automatically setting the best refresh rate for the chosen resolution.
Furthermore, the HP D2828A HP52 complies with MPRII guidelines for upper limits of electrical and electrostatic emissions, as set by the Swedish National Board for Measurement and Testing. It also meets ISO 9241-3, ISO 9241-7, and ISO 9241-8 ergonomic standards, ensuring a comfortable viewing experience.
Setting up the monitor involves attaching its tilt and swivel base and connecting the necessary cables. The base allows for adjustment of the display's angle and orientation. To attach the base, the monitor should be turned on its side (never on the screen), and the base slid into the slots on the underside of the display until the locking tab clicks into place.
Connecting the monitor requires ensuring both the PC and monitor are switched off. The video cable connects from the PC's video outlet to the monitor's video input, with thumbscrews tightened for a secure connection. The power cord then connects to the monitor and a grounded power outlet.
The monitor's image quality, position, size, and shape can be adjusted using the digital controls located on the front panel. These controls include:
New settings are automatically saved 20 seconds after adjustment, indicated by the front panel lights. If an adjustment reaches its maximum or minimum value, the indicator light will blink. The monitor also includes a "Factory Settings" option, which allows users to return to optimum default values for most adjustments by simultaneously pressing specific buttons.
To minimize eye strain, it is recommended to use the highest supported image refresh rate for the chosen resolution, such as 85 Hz for 800 x 600. The monitor's Plug and Play feature will automatically select the best refresh rate if supported by the PC.
Proper placement and care are essential for the monitor's longevity and performance. The monitor should be placed on a flat, sturdy surface, away from excessive heat, moisture, dust, and sources of electromagnetic fields like transformers, motors, and other monitors. Direct sunlight exposure should also be avoided.
To maximize screen life and prevent damage such as "burned phosphor" (permanent image retention), several recommendations are provided:
The monitor automatically demagnetizes each time it is switched on, ensuring color purity. To maintain this, it is recommended to switch the display off for at least 30 minutes each week before turning it on again.
For cleaning the anti-glare, anti-static screen coating, a regular household glass cleaner can be used. The cleaning process involves:
The HP D2828A monitor is designed with environmental considerations in mind. HP offers a product take-back program in several countries for recycling old monitors at the end of their useful life. Collected equipment is sent to HP's recycling facilities, where parts are reused, and the remainder is recycled, with special care taken for potentially toxic substances. The cathode ray tube used in this monitor does not contain cadmium.
