Safety precautions and maintenance
WARNING: 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:
● 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 alcohol, solvents or ammonia-based
liquids.
● Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when you have followed
the instructions in this manual.
● The casing cover should be opened only by qualified service personnel.
● Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat source.
● Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s
electronics.
● Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.
● Keep the monitor dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to rain or excessive moisture.
● 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.
● To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not expose the monitor to rain or
excessive moisture.
● IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your application. If a still image in
high contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave an 'after-image'
or 'ghost image' on front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by the
shortcomings inherent in LCD technology. In most cases, the after-image will disappear
gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off. Be aware, that the after-
image symptom cannot be repaired and is not covered under warranty.
Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when the operating instructions
given in this manual have been followed.

sRGB
sRGB is a standard for ensuring correct exchange of colors between different devices (e.g. digital
cameras, monitors, printers, scanners, etc.)
Using a standard unified color space, sRGB will help represent pictures taken by an sRGB compatible
device correctly on your sRGB enabled Philips monitors. In that way, the colors are calibrated and you
can rely on the correctness of the colors shown on your screen.
Important with the use of sRGB is that the brightness and contrast of your monitor is fixed to a
predefined setting as well as the color gamut. Therefore it is important to select the sRGB setting in the
monitor's OSD.
To do so, open the OSD by pressing the OK button on the front of your monitor. Use the down button
to go to Adjust Color and press OK again. Then move the down button to go to sRGB and press OK
again.
Exit this OSD.
After this, please do not change the brightness or contrast setting of your monitor. If you change either
of these, the monitor will exit the sRGB mode and go to a color temperature setting of 6500K.
For more information on sRGB, please visit: www.srgb.com

Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) specification provides a high-speed digital connection for visual data types
that is display technology independent. The interface is primarily focused at providing a connection between
a computer and its display device. The DVI specification meets the needs of all segments of the PC industry
(workstation, desktop, laptop, etc.) and will enable these different segments to unite around one monitor
interface specification.
file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/J/english/200p4/glossary/glossary.htm (1 of 5) [4/15/2004 1:44:55 PM]
Glossary
The DVI interface enables:
1. Reduce signal loss and video noise in signal due to less signal conversion.
2. Independent from display technology, and can be used on LCD, Plasma, LCOS, etc.
3. Plug and play through hot plug detection, EDID and DDC2B.
4. Digital and Analog support in a single connector (DVI-I only).

U
USB or Universal Serial Bus
A smart plug for PC peripherals. USB automatically determines resources (like driver software and bus
bandwidth) required by peripherals. USB makes necessary resources available without user intervention.
● USB eliminates "case anxiety" -- the fear of removing the computer case to install add-on
peripherals. USB also eliminates adjustment of complicated IRQ settings when installing new
peripherals.
● USB does away with "port gridlock." Without USB, PCs are normally limited to one printer, two Com
port devices (usually a mouse and modem), one Enhanced Parallel Port add-on (scanner or video
camera, for example) and a joystick. More and more peripherals for multimedia computers arrive on
the market every day. With USB, up to 127 devices can run simultaneously on a computer.
● USB permits "hot plug-in." There's no need to shut down, plug in, reboot and run set-up to install
peripherals. And no need to go through the reverse process to unplug a device.
In short, USB transforms today's "Plug-and-Pray" into true Plug-and-Play!
Hub
A Universal Serial Bus device that provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus.
Hubs are a key element in the plug-and-play architecture of USB. The Figure shows a typical hub. Hubs
serve to simplify USB connectivity from the user's perspective providing low cost and complexity.
Hubs are wiring concentrators and enable the multiple attachment characteristics of USB. Attachment points
are referred to as ports. Each hub converts a single attachment point into multiple attachment points. The
architecture supports concatenation of multiple hubs.
The upstream port of a hub connects the hub towards the host. Each of the other downstream ports of a
hub allows connection to another hub or function. Hubs can detect, attach and detach at each downstream
port and enable the distribution of power to downstream devices. Each downstream port can be individually
enabled and configured at either full or low speed. The hub isolates low speed ports from full speed
signaling.
A hub consists of two portions: the Hub Controller and Hub Repeater. The repeater is a protocol-controlled
switch between the upstream port and downstream ports. It also has hardware support for reset and
suspend/resume signaling. The controller provides the interface registers to allow communication to/from
the host. Hub specific status and control commands permit the host to configure a hub and to monitor and
control its ports.
Device
file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/J/english/200p4/glossary/glossary.htm (3 of 5) [4/15/2004 1:44:55 PM]
Glossary
A logical or physical entity that performs a function. The actual entity described depends on the context of
the reference. At the lowest level, device may refer to a single hardware component, as in a memory device.
At a higher level, it may refer to a collection of hardware components that perform a particular function, such
as a Universal Serial Bus interface device. At an even higher level, device may refer to the function
performed by an entity attached to the Universal Serial Bus; for example, a data/FAX modem device.
Devices may be physical, electrical, addressable, and logical.
Downstream
The direction of data flow from the host or away from the host. A downstream port is the port on a hub
electrically farthest from the host that generates downstream data traffic from the hub. Downstream ports
receive upstream data traffic.
Upstream
The direction of data flow towards the host. An upstream port is the port on a device electrically closest to
the host that generates upstream data traffic from the hub. Upstream ports receive downstream data traffic.

General FAQs
Q:
When I install my monitor what should I do if the screen shows 'Cannot display this video
mode'?
A: Recommended video mode for Philips 20": 1600x1200 @60Hz.
1. Unplug all cables, then connect your PC to the monitor that you used previously.
2. In the Windows Start Menu, select Settings/Control Panel. In the Control Panel Window, select the
Display icon. Inside the Display Control Panel, select the 'Settings' tab. Under the setting tab, in box
labeled 'desktop area', move the slidebar to 1600x1200 pixels (20").
3. Open 'Advanced Properties' and set the Refresh Rate to 60Hz, then click OK.
4. Restart your computer and repeat step 2 and 3 to verify that your PC is set at 1600x1200@60Hz
(20").
5. Shut down your computer, disconnect your old monitor and reconnect your Philips LCD monitor.
6. Turn on your monitor and then turn on your PC.
Q: What does 'refresh rate' mean in connection with an LCD monitor?
A: The refresh rate is of much less relevance for LCD monitors. LCD monitors display a stable,
flicker-free image at 60Hz. There is no visible difference between 85Hz and 60Hz.
Q: What are the .inf and .icm files on the set-up disk & CD-ROM? How do I install the drivers (.inf
and .icm)?
A: These are the driver files for your monitor. Follow the instructions in your user manual to install
the drivers. Your computer may ask you for monitor drivers (.inf and .icm files) or a driver disk when
you first install your monitor. Follow the instructions to insert the driver disk (either floppy or CD-
ROM) included in this package. Monitor drivers (.inf and .icm files) will be installed automatically.
Q: How do I adjust the resolution?
A: Your video card/graphic driver and monitor together determine the available resolutions. You
can select the desired resolution under Windows® 95/98 with the 'Display properties/Settings'
control panel
.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: What if I get lost when I am making monitor adjustments?
A: Simply press the OSD button, then select 'Reset' to recall all of the original factory settings.
Q: What is the Auto function?
A: The AUTO adjustment key restores the optimal screen position, phase and clock settings at the
press of a single button – without the need to navigate through OSD menus and control keys.
Q: My Monitor has no power (Power LED does not light up). What should I do?
A: Make sure the AC power cord is connected to the Monitor.
Q: Will the LCD monitor accept an Interlace signal?
A: No. If an Interlace signal is used, the screen displays both odd and even horizontal scanning
lines at the same time, thus distorting the picture.
Q: What does the Refresh Rate mean for LCD?
A: Unlike CRT display technology, in which the speed of the electron beam is swept from the top to
the bottom of the screen determines flicker, an active matrix display uses an active element (TFT) to
control each individual pixel and the refresh rate is therefore not really applicable to LCD
technology.
Q: Will the LCD screen be resistant to scratches?
A: A protective coating is applied to the surface of the LCD, which is durable to a certain extent
(approximately up to the hardness of a 2H pencil). In general, it is recommended that the panel
surface is not subject to any excessive shocks or scratches. An optional protective cover with
greater scratch resistance is also available.
Q: How should I clean the LCD surface?
A: For normal cleaning, use a clean, soft cloth. For extensive cleaning, please use isopropyl
alcohol. Do not use other solvents such as ethyl alcohol, ethanol, acetone, hexane, etc.

Screen Adjustments
Q: What is the FPadjust program on the setup disk and CD-ROM?
A: The FPadjust program generates alignment patterns that help you adjust monitor settings such
as Contrast, Brightness, Horizontal Position, Vertical Position, Phase and Clock for optimal
performance.
Q: When I install my monitor, how do I get the best performance from the monitor?
A:
1.
For best performance, make sure your display settings are set at 1600x1200@60Hz for 20". Note:
You can check the current display settings by pressing the OSD OK button once.
The current display mode is shown in product information in OSD main controls.
2. To install the Flat Panel Adjust (FPadjust) program located on the monitor setup CD-ROM, open the
CD-ROM and double-click the FP_setup04.exe icon. This will install FP Adjust automatically and
place a shortcut on your desktop.
3. Run FPadjust by double clicking the shortcut. Follow the instructions step by step to optimize image
performance with your system's video controller.
Q: How do LCDs compare to CRTs in terms of radiation?
A: Because LCDs do not use an electron gun, they do not generate the same amount of radiation at
the screen surface.

Compatibility with other Peripherals
Q:
Can I connect my LCD monitor to any PC, workstation or Mac?
A: Yes. All Philips LCD monitors are fully compatible with standard PCs, Macs and workstations.
You may need a cable adapter to connect the monitor to your Mac system. Please contact your
dealer/retailer for more information.
Q: Are Philips LCD monitors Plug-and-Play?
A: Yes, the monitors are Plug-and-Play compatible with Windows® 95, 98, 2000 and the PC98/99
platforms.
Q: What is USB (Universal Serial Bus)?
A: Think of USB as a smart plug for PC peripherals. USB automatically determines resources (like
driver software and bus bandwidth) required by peripherals. USB makes necessary resources
available without user intervention. There are three main benefits of USB. USB eliminates "case
anxiety," the fear of removing the computer case to install circuit board cards -- that often requires
adjustment of complicated IRQ settings -- for add-on peripherals. USB does away with "port
gridlock." Without USB, PCs are normally limited to one printer, two Com port devices (usually a
mouse and modem), one Enhanced Parallel Port add-on (scanner or video camera, for example), and
a joystick. More and more peripherals for multimedia computers come on the market every day.
With USB, up to 127 devices can run simultaneously on one computer. USB permits "hot plug-in."
No need to shut down, plug in, reboot and run set up to install peripherals. No need to go through
the reverse process to unplug a device. Bottom line: USB transforms today's "Plug-and-Pray" into
true Plug-and-Play!
Q: What is a USB hub ?
A: A USB hub provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus. A hub's upstream port
connects a hub to the host, usually a PC. Multiple downstream ports in a hub allows connection to
another hub or device, such as a USB keyboard, camera or printer.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
LCD Panel Technology
Q:
What is a Liquid Crystal Display?
A: A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is an optical device that is commonly used to display ASCII
characters and images on digital items such as watches, calculators, portable game consoles, etc.
LCD is the technology used for displays in notebooks and other small computers. Like light-emitting
diode and gas-plasma technologies, LCD allows displays to be much thinner than cathode ray tube
(CRT) technology. LCD consumes much less power than LED and gas-displays because it works on
the principle of blocking light rather than emitting it.
Q: How are LCDs made?
A: LCDs are created from two glass plates separated from each other at a distance of a few
microns. The plates are filled with liquid crystal and then sealed together. The top plate is colored
with an RGB pattern to make the color filter. Polarizers are then glued to both plates. This
combination is sometimes called 'glass' or 'cell.' The LCD cell is assembled into a 'module' by
adding the backlight, driver electronics and frame.
Q: What is polarization ?
A: Polarization is basically directing light to shine in one direction. Light is electromagnetic waves.
Electric and magnetic fields oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the propagation of the light
beam. The direction of these fields is called the 'polarization direction'. Normal or non-polarized light
has fields in several directions; polarized light has a field in only one direction.
Q: What differentiates passive matrix LCDs from active matrix LCDs?
A: An LCD is made with either a passive matrix or an active matrix display grid. An active matrix has
a transistor located at each pixel intersection, requiring less current to control the luminance of a
pixel. For this reason, the current in an active matrix display can be switched on and off more
frequently, improving the screen refresh time (your mouse pointer will appear to move more
smoothly across the screen, for example). The passive matrix LCD has a grid of conductors with
pixels located at each intersection in the grid.
Q: How does a TFT LCD Panel work?
A: On each column and row of the TFT LCD panel, a data source drive and a gate drive are attached,
respectively. The TFT drain of each cell is connected to the electrode. The molecular arrangement of
liquid crystal elements differ according to whether it is impressed with voltage or not. It varies the
file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/J/english/200p4/safety/saf_faq.htm (5 of 7) [4/15/2004 1:45:08 PM]
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
direction of polarized light and the amount of light by letting it through different arrays of liquid
crystal elements. When two polarized filters are arranged vertically on a polarized light pole, the
light that passes through the upper polarized panel is turned 90 degrees along with the spiral
structure of the liquid crystal molecules and goes through the polarized filter at the bottom. When
impressed with voltage, liquid crystal molecules are arranged vertically from the original spiral
structure and the direction of the light is not turned through 90 degrees. In this case, light that
comes through the top polarized panel may not go through the polarized panel at the bottom.
: What are the advantages of TFT LCD compared with CRT?
A: In a CRT monitor, a gun shoots electrons and general light by colliding polarized electrons on
fluorescent glass. Therefore, CRT monitors basically operate with an analog RGB signal. A TFT LCD
monitor is a device that displays an input image by operating a liquid crystal panel. The TFT has a
fundamentally different structure than a CRT: Each cell has an active matrix structure and
independent active elements. A TFT LCD has two glass panels and the space between them is filled
with liquid crystal. When each cell is connected with electrodes and impressed with voltage, the
molecular structure of the liquid crystal is altered and controls the amount of inlet lighting to display
images. A TFT LCD has several advantages over a CRT, since it can be very thin and no flickering
occurs because it does not use the scanning method.
Q: Why is vertical frequency of 60Hz optimal for an LCD monitor?
A: Unlike a CDT monitor, the TFT LCD panel has a fixed resolution. For example, an XGA monitor
has 1024x3 (R, G, B) x 768 pixels and a higher resolution may not be available without additional
software processing. The panel is designed to optimize the display for a 65MHz dot clock, one of the
standards for XGA displays. Since the vertical/horizontal frequency for this dot clock is 60Hz/48kHz,
the optimum frequency for this monitor is 60Hz.
Q: What kind of wide-angle technology is available? How does it work?
A: The TFT LCD panel is an element that controls/displays the inlet of a backlight using the dual-
refraction of a liquid crystal. Using the property that the projection of inlet light refracts toward the
major axis of the liquid element, it controls the direction of inlet light and displays it. Since the
refraction ratio of inlet light on liquid crystal varies with the inlet angle of the light, the viewing angle
of a TFT is much narrower than that of a CDT. Usually, the viewing angle refers to the point where
the contrast ration is 10. Many ways to widen the viewing angle are currently being developed and
the most common approach is to use a wide viewing angle film, which widens the viewing angle by
varying the refraction ratio. IPS (In Plane Switching) or MVA (Multi Vertical Aligned) is also used to
give a wider viewing angle.
Q: Why is there no flicker on an LCD Monitor?
A: Technically speaking, LCDs do flicker, but the cause of the phenomenon is different from that of
a CRT monitor -- and it has no impact of the ease of viewing. Flickering in an LCD monitor relates to
usually undetectable luminance caused by the difference between positive and negative voltage. On
the other hand, CRT flickering that can irritate the human eye occurs when the on/off action of the
fluorescent object becomes visible. Since the reaction speed of liquid crystal in an LCD panel is
file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/J/english/200p4/safety/saf_faq.htm (6 of 7) [4/15/2004 1:45:08 PM]
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
much slower, this troublesome form of flickering is not present in an LCD display.
Q: Why is an LCD monitor virtually free of Electro Magnetic Interference?
A: Unlike a CRT, an LCD monitor does not have key parts that generate Electro Magnetic
Interference, especially magnetic fields. Also, since an LCD display utilizes relatively low power, its
power supply is extremely quiet.

TCO '99 Information
Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO '99 approved
and labeled product! Your choice has provided you with a product
developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed
to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further
development of environmentally adapted electronics products.
Why do we have environmentally labeled computers?
In many countries, environmental labeling has become an established method for encouraging the
adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other
electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the
products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of
electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important
from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of
electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing
emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running
continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.
What does labeling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for international and
environmental labeling of personal computers. The labeling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the
TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The
Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy
Administration).
Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electric
and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.
The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and
chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must
be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be
adhered to in each country where the company implements its operational policy.
The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of
inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to
reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.
Labeled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of
electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.
Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete

Environmental Requirements
Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is
to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of
flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants
are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing
bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including
reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame
retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in fetus development
may occur.
The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not
contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the
printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.
Cadmium**
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-generating layers of certain computer
displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99
requirement states that batteries, the color-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or
electronics components must not contain any cadmium.
Mercury**
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in
high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also
demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the
labeled unit.
CFCs (freons)
The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture
and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs

break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on
earth of ultraviolet light with increased risks e.g. skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.
Lead**
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous
system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO'99 requirement permits the inclusion
of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.

Regulatory Information
3. Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate 3-
pin plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should
have a value of 5A. If a plug without a fuse is
used, the fuse at the distribution board should
not be greater than 5A.
Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to
avoid a possible shock hazard should it be
inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
BLUE - "NEUTRAL" ("N")
BROWN - "LIVE" ("L")
GREEN & YELLOW - "EARTH" ("E")
1. The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter "E" or by the Earth symbol
or coloured GREEN or GREEN AND
YELLOW.
2. The BLUE wire must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter "N" or
coloured BLACK.
3. The BROWN wire must be connected to the
terminal which marked with the letter "L" or
coloured RED.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of
the lead - not simply over the three wires.

Philips Pixel Defect Policy
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 15" 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.
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.
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'. These are the
types of bright dot defects:
file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/J/english/200p4/product/pixel.htm (1 of 3) [4/15/2004 1:45:23 PM]
Philips Pixel Defect Policy
One lit red, green or blue sub
pixel
Two adjacent lit sub pixels:
- Red + Blue = Purple
- Red + Green = Yellow
- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)
Three adjacent lit sub pixels
(one white pixel)
Black Dot Defects Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always dark or 'off'. These are
the types of black dot defects:
One dark sub pixel Two or three adjacent dark sub pixels
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.
BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
MODEL
200P4/200S4
1 lit subpixel 4 or fewer
2 adjacent lit subpixels 2 or fewer
file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/J/english/200p4/product/pixel.htm (2 of 3) [4/15/2004 1:45:23 PM]
Philips Pixel Defect Policy
3 adjacent lit subpixels (one white pixel) 0
Distance between two bright dot defects* 15 mm or more
Total bright dot defects of all types 4 or fewer
BLACK DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
