1. Important
This electronic user’s guide is intended
for anyone who uses the Philips
monitor. Take time to read this user
manual before you use your monitor.
It contains important information and
notes regarding the operation of your
monitor.
The Philips guarantee applies
provided that the product is handled
for its intended use, by its operating
instructions, and accompanied by the
presentation of the original invoice or
cash receipt that indicates the date of
purchase, dealer’s name and model, and
production number of the product.
1.1 Safety precautions and
maintenance
Warnings
The use of controls, adjustments, or
procedures other than those specied
in this document may result in exposure
to shock, electrical hazards, and/or
mechanical hazards.
Read and follow these instructions when
connecting and using your monitor.
Excessive sound pressure from
earphones and headphones can
cause hearing loss. Adjustment of the
equalizer to maximum capacity increases
the earphones and headphones output
voltage; thereby increasing the sound
pressure level.
Operation
• Please Keep the monitor out of
direct sunlight, very strong bright
lights and away from any other heat
source. Lengthy exposure to this
type of environment may result in
discoloration and damage to the
monitor.
• Keep the display away from oil. Oil
may damage the plastic cover of the
display and void the warranty.
• Remove any object that could fall
into ventilation holes or prevent
proper cooling of the monitor’s
electronics.
• Do not block the ventilation holes in
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 before returning to
normal operation.
• Please use the approved power
cord provided by Philips all the
times. If your power cord is missing,
please contact your local service
center. (Please refer to the Service
contact information located in the
Important information manual.)
• Operate under the specified power
supply. Use of incorrect voltage will
cause malfunction and may cause
fire or electric shock.
• Protect the cable. Do not pull or
bend the power cable and signal
cable. Do not place the monitor
or any other heavy objects on the
cables. If damaged, the cables may
cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not subject the monitor to severe
vibration or high-impact conditions
during operation.
• To avoid potential damage, like
the panel peeling from the bezel,
ensure that the monitor does not tilt
downward by more than -5 degrees.
If the -5 degree downward tilt angle
2
maximum is exceeded, the monitor
damage will not be covered under
warranty.
• Do not knock or drop the
monitor during operation and/or
transportation.
• The USB Type-C port could only be
connected to specify equipment
with fire enclosure in compliance
with IEC 62368-1 or IEC 60950-1.
• Excessive usage of the monitor
can cause eye discomfort. It’s
recommended 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.
Prevent eye strain while using the
screen for a constant period by :
• Looking at something varying
distances after a long period of
focusing on the screen.
• Conscious Blinking while you
work.
• Gently closing and rolling your
eyes to relax.
• Reposition your screen to the ap-
propriate height and angle.
• Adjust the brightness and con-
trast to an appropriate level.
• Adjust the environment light-
ing similar to that of your screen
brightness. Avoid uorescent
lighting and surfaces that don’t
reect too much light.
• Seeing a doctor if your symptoms
worsen.
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.
• 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 solvents,
such as alcohol or ammonia-based
liquids.
• To avoid the risk of shock or
permanent damage to the set, do
not expose the monitor to dust, rain,
water, or excessive moisture.
• If your monitor gets wet, wipe it
with a dry cloth as soon as possible.
• If a foreign substance or water
gets in your monitor, please
turn the power off immediately
and disconnect the power cord.
Then, if damaged, send it to the
maintenance center.
• Do not store or use the monitor in
locations exposed to heat, direct
sunlight, or extreme cold.
• 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:
3
• Temperature: 0°C-40°C 32°F-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
phenomenon in LCD panel
technology. In most cases, the “burn-
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 your local service
center. (You can refer to the service
contact information listed in the
important information manual.)
• For transportation information,
please refer to “Technical
Specifications”.
• Do not leave your monitor in a car
under direct sunlight.
Note
Consult a service technician if the
monitor does not operate normally or
you are not sure what procedure to take
when the operating instructions given in
this manual.

4. 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.
• EasyRead mode for a paper-
like reading experience, giving
a more comfortable viewing
experience while dealing with
long documents on the screen.
28
5. PowerSensor™
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
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.

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 .

6. 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.

9. Customer care and
warranty
9.1 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)
38
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.
39
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 3 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 3 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
