1. Important
• Excessive usage of monitor can cause
eye discomfort, it’s better to take
shorter breaks more often at your
workstation than longer breaks and
less often; for example a 5-10 minute
break after 50-60-minute continuous
screen use is likely to be better than
a 15-minute break every two hours.
Try to keep your eyes from eye strain
while using the screen for a constant
period of time by :
• Looking at something varying dis-
tances after a long period focusing
on the screen.
• Conscious Blinking often while you
work.
• Gently closing and rolling your
eyes to relax.
• Reposition your screen to appro-
priate height and angle according
to your height.
• Adjusting the brightness and con-
trast to appropriate level.
• Adjusting the environment light-
ing similar to that of your screen
brightness, avoid the uorescent
lighting, and surfaces that don’t
reect too much light.
• Seeing a doctor if your symp-toms.
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.
• Oil-based cleaning solutions may
damage the plastic parts and void the
warranty.
• 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.

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.
• Temperature: 0-40°C 32-104°F
• Humidity: 20-80% RH
Important information for Burn-in/
Ghost image
• 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
3
1. Important
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.
Warning
Failure to activate a screen saver, or a
periodic screen refresh application may
result in severe “burn-in” or “after-image”
or “ghost image” symptoms that will not
disappear and cannot be repaired. The
damage mentioned above is not covered
under your warranty.
Service
• The casing cover should be opened
only by qualified service personnel.
• If there is any need for any document
for repair or integration, please
contact with your local service center.
(Please refer to Service contact
information listed in Important

4. Adaptive Sync
4. Adaptive Sync
Adaptive Sync
PC gaming has long been an imperfect
experience because GPUs and monitors
update at dierent rates. Sometimes a
GPU can render many new pictures during
a single update of the monitor, and the
monitor will show pieces of each picture
as a single image. This is called “tearing.”
Gamers can x tearing with a feature
called “v-sync,” but the image can become
jerky as the GPU waits on the monitor to
call for an update before delivering new
pictures.
The responsiveness of mouse input and
overall frames per second are reduced
with v-sync, too. AMD Adaptive Sync
technology eliminates all of these
problems by letting the GPU update the
monitor the moment a new picture is
ready, leaving gamers with unbelievably
smooth, responsive, tearing-free games.

8.1 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 Monitor panels used in at 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 dierent types of pixel
defects and denes acceptable defect
levels for each type. In order to qualify for
repair or replacement under warranty, the
number of pixel defects on a TFT Monitor
panel must exceed these acceptable
levels. For example, no more than 0.0004%
of the sub pixels on a 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.
subpixel
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.
Types of Pixel Defects
Pixel and sub pixel defects appear on the
screen in dierent 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.
Two adjacent lit sub pixels:
- Red + Blue = Purple
- Red + Green = Yellow
- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)
23
7. Customer care and warranty
Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white
pixel).
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 'o'. 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.
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
species 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 Monitor panel
in a Philips at panel monitor must have
pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding the
tolerances listed in the following tables.
