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 :

If you have VESA DPM compliance display
card or software installed in your PC, the
monitor can automatically reduce its
power consumption when not in use. If
an input from a keyboard, mouse or other
input device is detected, the monitor will
'wake up' automatically. The following
table shows the power consumption and
signaling of this automatic power saving
feature:

7�1 Philips’FlatPanelMonitors
PixelDefectPolicy
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)
19
7.Customer care and warranty
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.
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.

• 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

"burn-in" or "after-imaging" or "ghost
imaging" will disappear gradually over
a period of time after the power has
been switched off.
• Always activate a moving screen saver
program when you leave your monitor
unattended.
• Always activate a periodic screen
refresh application if your LCD
monitor will display unchanging static
content.
• Failure to activate a screen saver, or
a periodic screen refresh application
may result in severe “burn-in” or
