Power Sensor™

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 presentPHILIPS 27B1U7903 Brilliance 7000
Professional Monitor - present

Power consumption as illustrated above is for reference purpose only

Setting
Default settings
Power Sensor is designed to detect the presence of the user located between 30 and 100 cm (12 and 40 inches) from the display and within five 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 efficiency: The higher the setting, the stronger the  detection signal. For maximum Power Sensor efficiency 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.

Customer care and warranty

10.1 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 flat 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 defines 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.

Pixels and Sub pixels
A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three sub pixels in the primary colors PHILIPS 27B1U7903 Brilliance 7000 Professional Monitor - pixels
2

One lit red, green or blue sub pixel.

PHILIPS 27B1U7903 Brilliance 7000 Professional Monitor - pixels

Two adjacent lit sub pixels:
– Red + Blue = Purple
– Red + Green = Yellow
– Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)

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.PHILIPS 27B1U7903 Brilliance 7000 Professional Monitor - pixels

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 specifies tolerances for the proximity of pixel defects. PHILIPS 27B1U7903 Brilliance 7000 Professional
Monitor - pixels 6

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 flat panel monitor must have pixel or sub pixel  defects exceeding the tolerances listed in the following tables.

BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 lit subpixel 0
2 adjacent lit subpixels 0
3 adjacent lit subpixels (one white pixel) 0
Distance between two bright dot defects* 0
Total bright dot defects of all types 0
BLACK DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 dark subpixel 5 or fewer
2 adjacent dark subpixels 2 or fewer
3 adjacent dark subpixels 0
Distance between two black dot defects* ≥ 15mm
Total black dot defects of all types 5 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
