HP Omni 27-1054 As A Monitor

I am attempting to use my Omni 27 as a monitor for a new desktop tower I have purchased, and it does not seem to be registering the input from the HDMI port. The buttons aren't working to switch between the normal input and the HDMI input, and I can't seem to find any issues with my drivers. It is not an issue with the new tower, as I have been able to connect it to other HDMI inputs, such as the TV in my living room. Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks,
Steven

Hello @JasonGr,
I understand that you are trying to use your HP Omni 27-1054 Desktop PC as a monitor and having no luch. That would be because your computer is a computer with a monitor built in not a monitor with a computer built in. This means that you have to go through the computer to get to the monitor and since you cannot do what you are trying to do to another computer you are unsuccessful. Unfortunately, this means that you cannot use your Omni as a monitor as you are attempting.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

You can use this port for game console such as PS3, XBox

HP Omni 220-1050xt Monitor goes blank at random times and will not light up.

Recently my computer screen starting going blank without any warning. One minute it is fine and I am working away, then the screen turns black and no key sequence will bring it back. I have selected a power scheme that has never, never, never set in the categories. I also sent my screen saver to None. I took it to Staples to run a diagnostic which responded with no errors. Within 15 minutes of running, the screen was blank and the computer was unresponsive.

Hello @jlh41,
I understand that you are experiencing an issue where your HP Omni 220-1050xt Monitor is going blank without warning. I am providing you with some steps you can try below:
Step 1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
Step 2. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
Step 3. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
Step 5. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
Step 6. Try different cables between your computer and monitor.
If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

HP Omni second Monitor

I purchased a new Dell Monitor to hook up to my OMni as well as a VGA tu USB cable, how do I set up dual monitors?

Hi,
Not much information about your machine:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03150145&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
Looks like it's an AIO computer. You need an USB video to be able to connect to second monitor such as:

Hp omni 120-1132 desktop pc series monitor brightness

How do I adjust the brightness of the monitor? It's like the sun is in my room. I've googled it and all I've found is some reference to a slider bar in power settings and I don't have that. I'm running Windows 7.
Thank you

Hi MissJulie,
I understand you are having issues with the brightness on you HP Omni 120-1132 desktop. The brightness button would depend on what your display settings are set to on the laptop. If you have the PC on automatic brightness this would automatically make changes and f2 and f3 would be over ridden. Here is a Microsoft document that would show you how.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/getting-best-display-monitor#getting-best-display-monitor...
Let me know how this goes.
Thanks

Hi,
Here is it specs:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03343048#N1221
You can only see:
Front:
1 - Screen area
2 - Microphone array
3 - Webcam camera
4 - Stand
5 - Speakers
Back:
1 - Optical disk drive (actually right)
2 - Stand
3 - Kensington lock slot
4 - Power button
5 - Memory card reader and other I/O on left side
6 - Motherboard back I/Os (specific I/Os are model dependent)
7 - Activity indicator
8 - Power connector
9 - LAN (ethernet)
10 - Four USB 2.0 ports
11- Audio port (actually left side)
Left:
1 - Hard drive activity indicator
2 - Memory card reader activity indicator
3 - Memory card reader
4 - Two USB 2.0 ports
5 - Microphone jack
6 - Audio port
Right:
1 - Optical disc drive
The only hope is "6 - Motherboard back I/Os (specific I/Os are model dependent)" area:
Please check area 6 above. As mentioned in my previous reply: Most likely your machine has no video out port.
Regards.

Xorg 1.6, nvidia brokenness w/ dual monitors [SOLVED]

Hi,
I upgraded this past week to xorg-server 1.6.1-1, nvidia 180.44-1, and kernel26 2.6.29.1-4. When I rebooted today I found a few things are broken:
I have a laptop and external monitor dual screen setup where each screen is a separate x screen, as setup by nvidia-settings. After upgrading if I hold down any key for half a second or more (to trigger key repeat), my display on both monitors goes black and my mouse and keyboard stop responding (can't switch terminals, can't kill x...). Resuming from xscreensaver also triggers this same problem.
Another oddity is that when I move my mouse cursor from one monitor to the other a lingering "copy" of the cursor stays on the monitor I just move away from at the transition point to the other monitor.
If I physically disconnect my external monitor (w/o changing xorg.conf) X displays none of the problems listed above.
My xorg.conf is below. Most of it is probably not useful, although I should point out that I have input hotplugging disabled w/ AutoAddDevices false:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder57) Thu Jul 17 18:40:12 PDT 2008

have you looked at /var/log/xorg.0.log for warnings and errors?
you need to get rid of ..
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
If you want independent X screens you need to get rid of..
Option "Xinerama" "1"
or change "1" to "0" or "false"
For two screens you should only need two device sections and you have three.
Alot of people are having good results with a minimal xorg.conf with the new xorg-server. I can't really say too much about it as I still use my xorg.conf, although I could probably cut it down quite a bit.
It looks like your xorg.conf needs a lot of tweaking. Or you could just delete most everything in it and let autoconfig do it's thing. Then just add little by little till you get everything working.
Not sure how much it will help because i'm not using a laptop, but rather a desktop, but here's my working xorg.conf set up with nvidia and three seperate X screens.
# Xorg configuration file altered by Leigh
# Updated (Dec 2008)
# Three independent screens
# Three cards... (GeForce7900 PCI-E, GeForce6800 PCI-E, GeForce4 MX PCI)
# Monitors... (Two Dell 2005 FPW's, One NEC MultiSync FE1250+ CRT)
# Note: (Due to GeForce4 MX, I need to use the legacy nvidia drivers, nvidia-96xx.)

Recent Windows 7 update causing monitor sleep problems/Windows loop in some HP desktops?

After perusing this forum, I wonder if there was a recent Windows 7 update that has been causing problems for some HP desktops and displays. My office has a 3500 Microtower desktop running Windows 7 Pro. While Windows 7 Pro is running and in use (as in, not prompted by any user-set power management option), the dual HP displays (via DVI split to VGA) will enter sleep mode ("No Signal", I believe) seemingly randomly/chaotically and without warning. No amount of mouse-waving and keyboard-smashing will wake the displays. The displays will not receive a signal after being turned off then on. Then, not immediately but after some undetermined time, the desktop hard drive light will begin to blink at a consistent 1-second interval (approximate), as though it is stuck in a loop.
My guess, based on both our office's experience and the posts I've read with the same problem (see below for links), is that this update would have become available either November 16 or 17, November 15 at the earliest.
Thank you for your attention to this conundrum!

One more piece, not sure if relevant: a user connected remotely in order to monitor the desktop, but detected no problems with the machine. Unfortunately, I was not able to remain with the desktop to see if the displays had shut off at any point during his monitoring.

Hi,
If you think that the issue is related to a recent Windows 7 update then try going back to a known good restore point before the issue occured.

MythTV Program Guide Slow/No Composite Effects On Dual Monitor

Hello all,
I am not entirely sure where this would belong, so I put it here.
I am running Arch64 with an NVidia 8600GTS and dual monitors as seperate X screens. The second monitor is actually a TV not a monitor, and is using the S-Video output on the video card, but I'm not sure that that's relevant at all.
On my primary monitor the program guide in MythTV runs fairly decent, however on the TV it runs unbearably slow. Pushing up on the remote a time or two will take a minute or so to happen. I have it set to the least demanding level possible.
I originally thought that this was just a MythTV issue but I noticed that XCompmgr and Compiz-Fusion effects do not work at all on the TV either, so I think these issues are related.
Also, I do not currently have a composite window manager installed, I am using Gnome with Metacity.
Here is a copy of my xorg.conf:

It's a bit of a mess at the moment. Last time I reinstalled I was having trouble with the keyboard and mouse not working in Gnome, so I've been hesitant to mess with it too much.
On my previous install my xorg.conf looked like this:

I had the same issues with composite managers and that MythTV guide using this xorg.conf too.
Has anyone had any similar issues? I am at a total loss here, so any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

No one else has had troubles with the program guide or composite effects on dual monitors?

Screen Flickering - HP Omni 120-1132 desktop

Hi. I have about a year old Omni 120-1132 all-in-one desktop running Windows 7. The last two days I've noticed screen flickering. I've checked cables, all my drivers are up to date, but I still have this flickering. It's not bad - I notice it mostly on pages that are a dark background (like Tumblr, for example) - but it is annoying. Is there something else or somewhere else I should be looking to resolve the issue?
Thanks!

I went back through and adjusted the power saving settings to "balanced" and the flickering seems to have stopped. the screen is super bright now, but the flickering is gone. hopefully.
If anyone else needs to try it:
-control panel
-hardware and sound
-power options
-switch back to 'balanced' if you'd previously adjusted your monitor settings

New LCD monitor resolution

My new Viewsonic LCD wants a resolution of 1680x1050. How do I set this in xorg.config or is it not possible.

Normally, this should work like A.I. BOT said. However, I had to fight with exact the same problem yesterday for about 3 hours until I got an solution. If you connect your monitor via D-SUB (analog) then you might have to set a modeline for the monitor. A correct modeline you get from
gtf 1680 1050 60
and you should modify your xorg.conf like
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
Modeline "1680x1050" 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 -HSync +Vsync
EndSection
If you connect it through DVI you might get the problem, that all settings in xorg.conf seem to be ignored and the only resolution you get is 1280x1024. The you should do
grep -i pixel /var.log/Xorg.0.log
and perhaps get something about a maximum pixelclock of 135.0 MHz. The you need in xorg.conf
Option "ModeValidation" "NoMaxPClkCheck"
ind the Device Section. The you should get native resolution on DVI without any modeline just the way A.I. BOT said.
I hope that helped, I almost got crazy yesterday so I thought to share this experience. Have fun.

Monitor EDID has died and I need assistance

Okay. Recently the EDID function of my monitor has stopped, but because Windows keeps a local version of my EDID, I have the .bin file with the info needed, and I need to point X to it, but I can't find anything on Google that sheds any light on the subject.
Halp!

Still a no go. This monitor should be hitting 1680x1050 but I can't get past 1024x768.

How do you monitor your systems?

I'd like to be able to monitor my Ironport systems to be able to see
* SMTP up/down on each interface
* active recipient queue size
* CPU/RAM/Disk use (as a %)
* number of connections in last 5 minutes
* ...In fact some of the data from the system status and system overview screens in the GUI.
But I don't want to manually log in to the GUI/CLI to manually check this.
I was hoping the SNMP interface would expose these counters then I can easily bolt the Ironports into my existing monitor system, set some thresholds and get alerted when something might be wrong.
Do you have automatic monitoring of the systems?
How have you set it up?
Right now all I have in place is checking via ping and that the SMTP port is open on the exposed interfaces. No monitoring of the system counters.

Corey, are your company using Hypersoft for mail tracking and reporting for the complete mailflow from IronPort-Internal Mail system-users mailboxes? We are using HyperSoft Omni Analyser for internal mailtracking and reporting (our e-mail system is based on Lotus Domino).
It would be great to have a solution that covers the complete mailflow. I have had a lot of phonecalls the last week with our salesrep from HyperSoft to find out what HyperSoft can offer. The salesrep seems to have a tight connection with HyperSoft development here in Europe and the IronPort add-on to their existing reporting sw is still under development and they need input for what functions and features we customers need. The MFC mail tracking is great, the reports are ok but IronPort has no soulution for monitoring system status.
I told Hypersoft that it would be nice to have a one tool for mail tracking, reporting and system status monitoring. I have sent HyperSoft mail logs from our IronPort for mail tracking and reporting and the demo reports look promising. In order to get systems status HyperSoft could either use the status logs for historical reports or use the XML pages provided (like ironportip/xml/status) or both.
Are there other interfaces IronPort provides in order to get system status, except for snmp? I look forward to feedback/ideas
Thanks /Micke
