5. Designs to prevent
computer vision
syndrome (CVS)
Philips monitor is designed to prevent
eye strain caused by prolonged
computer use.
Follow the below instructions and
use a Philips monitor to efficiently
reduce fatigue and maximize working
productivity.
1. Appropriate environment lighting:
• Adjust the environment lighting
similar to that of your screen
brightness, avoid fluorescent
lighting, and surfaces that don’t
reflect too much light.
• Adjust the brightness and
contrast to the appropriate level.
2. Good working habits:
• Excessive usage of the 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.
• Looking at something varying
distances after a long period of
focusing on the screen.
• Gently closing and rolling your
eyes to relax.
• Conscious blinking often while
working.
• Gently stretch your neck, and
slowly tilt your head forward,
backward, and side for pain relief.
3. Ideal working posture
• Reposition your screen to
the appropriate measurment
according to your own height.
4. Choose a Philips monitor for viewing
that is easy on the eyes.
• Anti-glare screen: This feature
efficiently reduces annoying and
distracting reflections that is
associated with eye fatigue.
• Flicker-free technology is
designed to regulate brightness
and reduce flicker for more
comfortable viewing.
• LowBlue mode: Blue light may
cause eye strains. This feature
allows you to set different blue
light filter levels for a variety of
working situations.
• EasyRead mode for a paper-
like reading experience, giving
a more comfortable viewing
experience while dealing with
long documents on the screen.

6. PowerSensor™
1
How does it work?
• PowerSensor works on principle
of transmission and reception of
harmless “infrared” signals in order
to detect user-presence.
• 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 upto 80%.
User present in front User not present
ttaW
Power consumption as illustrated above is for reference purpose only
2
Setting
Default settings
PowerSensor is designed to detect the
presence of the user located between 30
and 100 cm (12 and 40 inches) from the
display and within ve degrees left or
right of the monitor.
Custom settings
If you prefer to be in a position outside
the perimeters listed above, choose
a higher strength signal for optimal
detection eciency: The higher the
setting, the stronger the detection
signal. For maximum PowerSensor
eciency 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
120 cm 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 clothes.

ly inside or outside the default range,
here’s how to ne-tune detection:
• Press OK to show the OSD (On
Screen Display) menu
• Press
to select the option
"PowerSensor" then press OK to
enter PowerSensor setting.
• You will find the adjustment bar.
• Adjust the PowerSensor detection
adjustment to Setting 4 and press
OK.
31
• Test the new setup to see if
PowerSensor properly detects you in
your current position.
• PowerSensor function is designed to
work in Landscape mode (horizontal
position) only. After PowerSensor
turn on it, it will automatically turn
Off if the monitor is used in Portrait
mode (90 degree/vertical position);
it will automatically turn ON if
monitor is returned to its default
Landscape position.
Note
A manually selected PowerSensor
mode will remain operational unless
and until it is readjusted or the default
mode is recalled. If you nd that the
PowerSensor is excessively sensitive to
nearby motion for some reason, please
adjust to a lower signal strength. Keep
sensor lens clean, if the sensor lens
is dirty, wipe it with alcohol to avoid
reducing of distance detection.

8. Adaptive Sync
Adaptive Sync
PC gaming has long had 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 is 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. Therefore, this feature leaves
gamers with unbelievably smooth,
responsive, tearing-free gaming.

11. Customer care and
warranty
11.1 Philips’ Flat Panel Displays
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
and/or replaced under warranty. This
notice explains the dierent types of
pixel defects and denes acceptable
defect levels for each type. 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 the
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'.
Meaning, a bright dot is a sub-pixel
that stands out on the screen when the
monitor displays a dark pattern. There
are three types of bright dot defects:
One lit red, green, or blue sub-pixel.
One lit red, green or blue sub pixel.
Two adjacent lit sub-pixels:
- Red + Blue = Purple
- Red + Green = Yellow
- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)
42
Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white
pixel).
Note
A red or bright blue dot must be
more than 50 percent brighter than
neighboring dots, while a bright
green 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'.
Meaning, 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
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.
43
BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 lit subpixel 2
2 adjacent lit subpixels 1
3 adjacent lit subpixels (one white pixel) 0
Distance between two bright dot defects* >15mm
Total bright dot defects of all types 2
BLACK DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 dark subpixel 4 or fewer
2 adjacent dark subpixels 2 or fewer
3 adjacent dark subpixels 1
Distance between two black dot defects* >15mm
Total black dot defects of all types 4 or fewer
TOTAL DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
Total bright or black dot defects of all types 5 or fewer
Note
1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect
