The Philips guarantee applies provided the product is handled properly for its intended use, in accordance with its operating instructions and upon presentation of the original invoice or cash receipt, indicating the date of purchase, dealer’s name and model and production number of the product.

1.1 Safety precautions and maintenance

Warnings

Use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock, electrical hazards and/or mechanical hazards.

Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor.

Operation

• Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and

• away from stoves or any other heat source.

Remove any object that could fall into

• ventilation holes or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s electronics.

Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.

When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.

If turning off the monitor by detaching the power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds before attaching the power cable or

DC power cord for normal operation.

Please use approved power cord provided by Philips all the time. If your power cord is missing, please contact with your local service center. (Please refer to Customer Care

Consumer Information Center)

Do not subject the monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions during operation.

Do not knock or drop the monitor during operation or transportation.

Maintenance

• To protect your monitor from possible damage, do not put excessive pressure on the

LCD panel. When moving your monitor, grasp

• the frame to lift; do not lift the monitor by placing your hand or fingers on the

LCD panel.

Unplug the monitor if you are not going to

• use it for an extensive period of time.

Unplug the monitor if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. The screen may be wiped with a dry cloth when the power is off. However, never use organic solvent, such as, alcohol, or ammonia-based liquids to clean your monitor.

To avoid the risk of shock or permanent

• damage to the set, do not expose the monitor to dust, rain, water, or excessive moisture environment.

If your monitor gets wet, wipe it with dry cloth as soon as possible.

If foreign substance or water gets in your monitor, please turn the power off immediately and disconnect the power cord. Then, remove the foreign substance or water, and send it to the maintenance center.

Do not store or use the monitor in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight or extreme cold.

In order to maintain the best performance of your monitor and use it for a longer lifetime, please use the monitor in a location that falls within the following temperature and humidity ranges. o Temperature: 0-40°C 32-95°F o Humidity: 20-80% RH

1

IMPORTANT: Always activate a moving screen saver program when you leave your monitor unattended. Always activate a periodic screen refresh application if your monitor will display unchanging static content. Uninterrupted display of still or static images over an extended period may cause “burn in”, also known as “after-imaging” or “ghost imaging”, on your screen.

"Burn-in", "after-imaging", or "ghost imaging" is a well-known phenomenon in LCD panel technology. In most cases, the “burned in” or “after-imaging” or “ghost imaging” will disappear gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off.

3.6 PowerSensor

PowerSensor is a unique environmentally friendly technology from Philips which enables user to save upto 70% of power consumption. In line with

Philip’s Sense and Simplicity drive, this user friendly technology works for you right out of the box without any hardware or software installation, and without any user intervention in the default mode.

How does it work?

PowerSensor works on principle of transmission and reception of harmless

“infrared” signals in order to detect userpresence.

When the user is in front of the monitor the monitor operates normally, at the predetermined settings that the user has set- i.e. Brightness, contrast, color, etc

Assuming that the monitor was set to 100% of brightness for example, when the user leaves his seat and is no longer in front of the monitor, the monitor automatically reduces the power consumption up to 70%.

User present in front

38 Watt

User not present

10 Watt

45W

Custom settings

If you prefer to be in a position outside the perimeters listed above, choose a higher strength signal for optimal detection efficiency: The higher the setting, the stronger the detection signal. For maximum PowerSensor efficiency and proper detection, please position yourself directly in front of your monitor.

• If you choose to position yourself more than

100 cm or 40 inches from the monitor use the maximum detection signal for distances up

• to 120cm or 47 inches. (setting 4)

Since some dark colored clothing tends to absorb infrared signals even when the user is within 100 cm or 40 inches of the display,

• step up signal strength when wearing black or other dark garb.

You can return to the default mode at any time (setting 3)

How to adjust settings

If PowerSensor is not operating correctly inside or outside the default range, here’s how to fine-tune detection:

Press the PowerSensor hot key

You will find the default position ‘3’ on the adjustment bar.

Adjust the PowerSensor detection adjustment to Setting 4 and press OK.

Test the new setup to see if PowerSensor properly detects you in your current position.

3.7 Philips' Flat Panel Monitors Pixel Defect

Policy

Philips strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of the industry's most advanced manufacturing processes and practice stringent quality control. However, pixel or sub pixel defects on the TFT LCD panels used in flat panel monitors are sometimes unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defects, but Philips guarantees that any monitor with an unacceptable number of defects will be repaired or replaced under warranty. This notice explains the different types of pixel defects and defines acceptable defect levels for each type. In order to qualify for repair or replacement under warranty, the number of pixel defects on a TFT LCD panel must exceed these acceptable levels. For example, no more than 0.0004% of the sub pixels on a 19" XGA monitor may be defective. Furthermore, Philips sets even higher quality standards for certain types or combinations of pixel defects that are more noticeable than others. This policy is valid worldwide.

Types of Pixel Defects

Pixel and sub pixel defects appear on the screen in different ways. There are two categories of pixel defects and several types of sub pixel defects within each category.

Bright Dot Defects Bright dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always lit or 'on'. That is, a bright dot is a sub-pixel that stands out on the screen when the monitor displays a dark pattern.

There are the types of bright dot defects:

One lit red, green or blue sub pixel

Pixels and Sub pixels

A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three sub pixels in the primary colors of red, green and blue. Many pixels together form an image. When all sub pixels of a pixel are lit, the three colored sub pixels together appear as a single white pixel.

When all are dark, the three colored sub pixels together appear as a single black pixel. Other combinations of lit and dark sub pixels appear as single pixels of other colors.

Two adjacent lit sub pixels:

- Red + Blue = Purple

- Red + Green = Yellow

- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)

Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel)

22

Note

A red or blue bright dot must be more than 50 percent brighter than neighboring dots while a green bright dot is 30 percent brighter than neighboring dots.

Black Dot Defects Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always dark or 'off'.

That is, a dark dot is a sub-pixel that stands out on the screen when the monitor displays a light pattern. These are the types of black dot defects:

3 adjacent lit subpixels (one white pixel)

Distance between two bright dot defects*

Total bright dot defects of all types

Proximity of Pixel Defects

Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the same type that are near to one another may be more noticeable, Philips also specifies tolerances for the proximity of pixel defects.

Pixel Defect Tolerances

In order to qualify for repair or replacement due to pixel defects during the warranty period, a TFT

LCD panel in a Philips flat panel monitor must have pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding the tolerances listed in the following tables.
