Safety precautions and maintenance

Warnings
Use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock, electrical hazards and/or mechanical hazards.
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor.

Operation

Please Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight, very strong bright lights and away from any other heat source. Lengthy exposure to this type of environment may result in discoloration and damage to the monitor.
Remove any object that could fall into ventilation holes or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s electronics.
Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.
When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.
If turning off the monitor by detaching the power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds before attaching the power cable or DC power cord for normal operation.
Please use approved power cord provided by Philips all the time. If your power cord is missing, please contact with your local service center. (Please refer to Customer Care Consumer Information Center)
Do not subject the monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions during operation.
Do not knock or drop the monitor during operation or transportation.

Maintenance

To protect your monitor from possible damage, do not put excessive pressure on the LCD panel. When moving your monitor, grasp the frame to lift; do not lift the monitor by placing your hand or fingers on the LCD panel.
Unplug the monitor if you are not going to use it for an extensive period of time.
Unplug the monitor if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. The screen may be wiped with a dry cloth when the power is off. However, never use organic solvent, such as, alcohol, or ammonia-based liquids to clean your monitor.
To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not ex-pose the monitor to dust, rain, water, or excessive moisture environment.
If your monitor gets wet, wipe it with dry cloth as soon as possible.
If foreign substance or water gets in your monitor, please turn the power off immediately disconnect power cord. Then, remove the foreign substance or water, and send it to the maintenance center.
Do not store or use the monitor in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight or extreme cold.
In order to maintain the best performance of your monitor and use it for a longer lifetime, please use the monitor in a location that falls within the following temperature and humidity ranges.
- Temperature: 0-40°C 32-104°F
- 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 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 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”)
For transportation information, please refer to “Technical Specifications”.
Do not leave your monitor in a car/trunk under direct sun light.

Note: Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally, or you are not sure what procedure to take when the operating instructions given in this manual have been followed.

Image Optimization

SmartContrast

What is it?
A unique technology that dynamically analyzes displayed content and automatically optimizes an LCD monitor’s contrast ratio for maximum visual clarity and viewing enjoyment, stepping up backlighting for clearer, crisper and brighter images or dimming backlighting for clear display of images on dark backgrounds.

Why do I need it?
You want the very best visual clarity and viewing comfort for every type of content. SmartContrast dynamically controls contrast and adjusts backlighting for clear, crisp, bright gaming and video images or displays clear, readable text for office work.
By reducing your monitor’s power consumption, you save on energy costs and extend the lifetime of your monitor.

How does it work?
When you activate SmartContrast, it will analyse the content you are displaying in real time to adjust colors and control backlight intensity. This function will dynamically enhance contrast for a great entertainment experience when viewing videos or playing games.

Customer care and warrant

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.

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

Note

1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot
This monitor is ISO9241-307 (ISO9241-307: Ergonomic requirement , analysis and compliance test methods for electronic visual displays).
ISO9241-307 is the successor of formerly known ISO13406 standard, which is withdrawn by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) per: 2008-11-13
