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 monitor will display unchanging static content.
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 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 that will not disappear and cannot be repaired. The damage mentioned above is not covered under your warranty.

Customer care and warrant

5.1 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. PHILIPS 193V5LSB2 LCD Monitor -
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. PHILIPS 193V5LSB2 LCD Monitor - 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)

PHILIPS 193V5LSB2 LCD Monitor - Fig 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. PHILIPS 193V5LSB2 LCD Monitor - Black Dot
Defects

The 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.

BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS	ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 lit subpixel	3
2 adjacent lit subpixels	1
3 adjacent lit subpixels (one white pixel)	0
Distance between two bright dot defects*	>15mm
Total bright dot defects of all types	3
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
