OLED Screen Care
OLED Display is state of the art technology and combined with our Picture
Quality Engine it has won an outstanding number of awards. To ensure that your
TV always offers the best possible performance, it will sometimes perform a
display clean-up process while in standby.
If you never put your TV in standby, you will regularly be notified by on
screen messages that the display needs to execute this clean-up process.
Please always follow those instructions. Repeatedly postponing this process
may result in image retention, which may void your warranty.
Your TV should be left in standby in order to execute the cleaning process in
the background. We also recommend that you avoid continuously displaying
static images or static parts in moving images (like news ticker bar, soccer
scores, game HUDs…).
TV Display refreshing
To protect the screen, OLED TV need refreshing process over time.
There are 2 types of refreshing process:
· Normal refreshing: This will take place automatically and it takes a few
minutes with TV in standby mode. · Deep refreshing: This will take a few
minutes and need to be triggered by consumer.
To allow OLED TV to perform refreshing properly, please adhere to the
following:
· For normal refreshing process to take place automatically, always use remote
control to switch off TV and keep the TV power plugged. · When normal
refreshing message is shown on TV screen, follow the onscreen recommended
instructions. · For deep refreshing process, it can be activated manually via
Settings > General settings > Advanced > OLED screen settings > Clear residual
image. A reminder message can also be shown on TV to request user to perform
deep refreshing, please follow instructions and keep TV power plugged to allow
the whole process complete. It will take a few minutes. The deep refreshing
process shall only be done when residual image is seen on screen even after 8
hours standby. Manually performing Clear residual image too often may reduce
OLED display life time. However, it is important to allow the refresh cycles,
when requested by the TV. · Do not touch or apply pressure on TV screen during
the refreshing process. · Always use remote control to switch off TV and keep
the TV power plugged on when refreshing is triggered.
- Note: In order to enjoy the best picture quality this process is essential. If the unit demonstrably did not have the chance to complete a refreshing process on a regular basis, we cannot accept any returns, repairs, exchanges or warranty claims on behalf of image residual phenomenon within and/or out of the warranty period. This is also the case when the TV is used predominantly for gaming with static content on the screen, the TV is only used for watching news channels (with static news ticker bars) or other similar use cases that implication-wise bear an increased risk for sustaining burn-in effects. This is not in scope of the warranty.
Special Care for OLED TV
Organic LED (OLED) may experience on-screen image retention (due to the characteristics of the material), when an image is continuously displayed for a long period of time or the same image is repeatedly displayed. So it is strongly recommended to follow the instructions to take care of OLED TV:
· Do not display any still image continuously or display the same image for more than 10 minutes. · Recommend to use ECO, HDR Home Cinema or Dolby Vision Dark as picture style in normal home viewing condition. · Recommend to use OLED Contrast setting 50 or below in picture settings when playing Game or watching TV programs with logos or clocks on any parts of the screen. · Switch off On Screen Display (e.g. the home menus) of TV application program when not used. · Switch off On Screen Display from connected external video devices (e.g. DVD player). For details, refer to the instruction manuals for the connected devices. · Avoid displaying video with bright colors (including white), text, clocks or logos on any parts of the screen for a long time. · Use Wide screen or Fill screen as picture format option (see TV picture settings). · Always watch video in full screen instead of a small window on TV screen. (e.g. video in internet browser page) · Do not attach any sticker or label on the OLED panel to reduce the chance of image residual phenomenon.
Displaying a still image for a prolonged period of time may cause an image sticking. This phenomenon is normal character for OLED panel and does not represent a defect of the TV. Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for an extended length of time.
4
Screen saver To reduce the chances of residual images on the TV screen, the
screen saver (moving PHILIPS logo) will be triggered in such circumstances. –
when static setting menu elements are shown on screen for more than 2 minutes.
– when static setting menu elements of Apps are shown on screen for more than
2 minutes. – when Teletext is being displayed for more than 2 minutes. The
screen saver may not be triggered in such circumstances. – pausing playback on
an external source (e.g. HDMI), as the TV is not displaying static setting
menu elements. Once the screen saver is active, it can be closed by pressing
any remote control button. Other actions like inserting a USB stick or casting
content will execute in the background, but these activities will not
interrupt the screen saver.
Philips TV is equipped with the following to take care of OLED screen: ·
Automatic refreshing process Perform screen refreshing process when necessary.
· Automatic screen brightness control Gradually reduce the screen brightness
when still image is displayed for a long time. · Screen Saver Display screen
saver when still image is displayed on screen over a longer period of time.

Connect Devices
8.1
About Connections
Connectivity Guide
Always connect a device to the TV with the highest quality connection
available. Also, use good quality cables to ensure a good transfer of picture
and sound.
When you connect a device, the TV recognizes its type and gives each device a
correct type name. You can change the type name if you wish. If a correct type
name for a device is set, the TV automatically switches to the ideal TV
settings when you switch to this device in the Sources menu.
Antenna port
If you have a Set-top box (a digital receiver) or Recorder, connect the
antenna cables to run the antenna signal through the Set-top box and/or
Recorder first before it enters the TV. In this way, the antenna and the Set-
top box can send possible additional channels to the Recorder to record.
HDMI ports
HDMI Quality
An HDMI connection has the best picture and sound quality. One HDMI cable
combines video and audio signals. Use an HDMI cable for High Definition (HD)
TV signals.
For best signal quality transfer, use a Ultra High Speed certified HDMI cable
and do not use an HDMI cable longer than 5 m.
If a device connected with HDMI is not working correctly, check if a different
HDMI Ultra HD setting can solve this problem. In Help, press the colour key
Keywords and look up HDMI Ultra HD.
Copy protection
HDMI ports support HDCP 2.2 (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). HDCP
is a copy protection signal that prevents copying content from a DVD disc or
Blu-ray Disc. Also referred to as DRM (Digital Rights Management).
HDMI ARC and eARC
All of the HDMI connections on the TV have HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel). If
the device, typically a Home Theatre System (HTS), soundbar or AV receiver,
also has the HDMI ARC connection, connect it to any of the HDMI connections on
this TV. With the HDMI ARC connection, you do not need to connect the extra
audio cable that sends the sound of the TV picture to the HTS. The HDMI ARC
connection combines both signals.
You can use any HDMI connection on this TV to connect the HTS but ARC is only
available for 1 device/connection at a time HDMI eARC (Enhanced Audio Return
Channel) is an advancement over the previous ARC. It covers all ARC features
but with higher bandwidth and speed. eARC supports high quality audio
transmission up to192kHz, 24-bit, uncompressed 5.1 and 7.1, and 32-channel
uncompressed audio. Note: HDMI eARC is only available on HDMI 2. Use HDMI
cable with Ethernet for eARC. Only 1 eARC device is available at a time.

connection combines both signals.
HDMI eARC
HDMI eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) is an
advancement over the previous ARC. It supports the latest high-bitrate audio
formats up to192kHz, 24-bit, and uncompressed 5.1 and 7.1, and 32-channel
