Important

This electronic user’s guide is intended for anyone who uses the Philips monitor. Take time to read this user manual before you use your monitor. It contains important information and notes regarding the operation of your monitor.
The Philips guarantee applies provided that the product is handled for its intended use, by its operating instructions, and accompanied by the presentation of the original invoice or cash receipt that indicates the date of purchase, dealer’s name and model, and production number of the product.
1.1 Safety precautions and maintenance
Warnings The use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this document may result in exposure to shock, electrical hazards, and/or mechanical hazards.
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your monitor.
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss. Adjustment of the equalizer to maximum capacity increases the earphones and headphones output voltage; thereby increasing the sound pressure level.
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.

· Keep the display away from oil. Oil may damage the plastic cover of the display and void the warranty.
· Remove any object that could fall into ventilation holes or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s electronics.
· Do not block the ventilation holes in 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 before returning to normal operation.
· Please use the approved power cord provided by Philips all the times. If your power cord is missing, please contact your local service center. (Please refer to the Service contact information located in the Important information manual.)
· Operate under the specified power supply. Use of incorrect voltage will cause malfunction and may cause fire or electric shock.
· Protect the cable. Do not pull or bend the power cable and signal cable. Do not place the monitor or any other heavy objects on the cables. If damaged, the cables may cause fire or electric shock.
· Do not subject the monitor to severe vibration or high-impact conditions during operation.
· To avoid potential damage, like the panel peeling from the bezel, ensure that the monitor does not tilt downward by more than -5 degrees. If the -5 degree downward tilt angle

1

maximum is exceeded, the monitor damage will not be covered under warranty.
· Do not knock or drop the monitor during operation and/or transportation.
· The USB Type-C port could only be connected to specify equipment with fire enclosure in compliance with IEC 62368-1 or IEC 60950-1.
· Excessive usage of the monitor can cause eye discomfort. It’s recommended to take shorter breaks more often at your workstation than longer breaks and less often. For example, a 5-10 minute break after 50-60-minute continuous screen use is likely to be better than a 15-minute break every two hours. Prevent eye strain while using the screen for a constant period by :
· Looking at something varying distances after a long period of focusing on the screen.
· Conscious Blinking while you work.
· Gently closing and rolling your eyes to relax.
· Reposition your screen to the appropriate height and angle.
· Adjust the brightness and contrast to an appropriate level.
· Adjust the environment lighting similar to that of your screen brightness. Avoid fluorescent lighting and surfaces that don’t reflect too much light.
· Seeing a doctor if your symptoms worsen.

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.
· Oil-based cleaning solutions may damage the plastic parts and void the warranty.
· Unplug the monitor if you are not going to use it for an extensive period.
· 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 solvents, such as alcohol or ammonia-based liquids.
· To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not expose the monitor to dust, rain, water, or excessive moisture.
· If your monitor gets wet, wipe it with a dry cloth as soon as possible.
· If a foreign substance or water gets in your monitor, please turn the power off immediately and disconnect the power cord. Then, if damaged, send it to the maintenance center.
· Do not store or use the monitor in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight, or extreme cold.
· 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:

2

· Temperature: 0°C-40°C 32°F-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 “burnin” 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 “afterimage” or “ghost image” symptoms that 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 your local service center. (You can refer to the service contact information listed in the important information manual.)

4. Designs to prevent computer vision syndrome (CVS)
Philips monitor is designed to prevent eye strain caused by prolonged computer use.
Follow the below instructions and use a Philips monitor to efficiently reduce fatigue and maximize working productivity.
1. Appropriate environment lighting:
· Adjust the environment lighting similar to that of your screen brightness, avoid fluorescent lighting, and surfaces that don’t reflect too much light.
· Adjust the brightness and contrast to the appropriate level.
2. Good working habits:
· Excessive usage of the monitor can cause eye discomfort, it’s better to take shorter breaks more often at your workstation than longer breaks and less often; for example a 5-10 minute break after 50-60-minute continuous screen use is likely to be better than a 15-minute break every two hours.
· Looking at something varying distances after a long period of focusing on the screen.
· Gently closing and rolling your eyes to relax.
· Conscious blinking often while working.
· Gently stretch your neck, and slowly tilt your head forward, backward, and side for pain relief.

3. Ideal working posture
· Reposition your screen to the appropriate measurment according to your own height.

PowerSensorTM

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 present

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.

How to adjust settings
If PowerSensor is not operating correctly inside or outside the default range, here’s how to fine-tune detection: · Enter to OSD menu.
· 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);

29

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 .

Adaptive Sync

Adaptive Sync
PC gaming has long been an imperfect experience because GPUs and monitors update at different rates. Sometimes a GPU can render many new pictures during a single update of the monitor, and the monitor will show pieces of each picture as a single image. This is called “tearing.” Gamers can fix tearing with a feature called “v-sync,” but the image can become jerky as the GPU waits on the monitor to call for an update before delivering new pictures.
The responsiveness of mouse input and overall frames per second are reduced with v-sync, too. AMD Adaptive Sync technology eliminates all of these problems by letting the GPU update the monitor the moment a new picture is ready, leaving gamers with unbelievably smooth, responsive, tearing-free games.

Customer care and warranty

9.1 Philips’ Flat Panel Displays 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 and/or replaced under warranty. This notice explains the different types of pixel defects and defines acceptable defect levels for each type. 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 subpixels 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.
subpixel

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 the 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’. Meaning, a bright dot is a sub-pixel that stands out on the screen when the monitor displays a dark pattern. There are three types of bright dot defects: One lit red, green, or blue sub-pixel.
One lit red, green or blue sub pixel.

Pixels and Sub pixels

pixel
Two adjacent lit sub-pixels: – Red + Blue = Purple 39

– Red + Green = Yellow – Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)

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.

Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel).
