• 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 moni-
tor will display unchanging static content.
Uninterrupted display of still or static im-
ages 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
“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 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
the chapter of “Consumer Information
Center”)

4. 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 down to
80%.

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 efciency:
The higher the setting, the stronger the
detection signal. For maximum PowerSensor
efciency 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.

How to adjust settings
If PowerSensor is not operating correctly
inside or outside the default range, here’s how
to fine-tune detection:
• Press the PowerSensor hot key
• You will find the adjustment bar.
• Adjust the PowerSensor detection
adjustment to Setting 4 and press OK.
• 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.

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'. 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

7.1 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 different 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

Pixels and Sub pixels
A pixel, or picture element, is composed of
three sub pixels in the primary colors of red,

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 'off'. 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.
