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 presentPower 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 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 PowerSensor 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.

• Landscape/Portrait mode

Above illustrations are for reference purpose only, may not reflect the exact display of this model.

• 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 find 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 .

Customer care and warranty

9.1 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 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 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. Two adjacent lit sub pixels:

• Red + Blue = Purple
• Red + Green = Yellow
• Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)

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

Note
1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect
