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.

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.
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”.

4. 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 down to
80%.
User present in front User not present

Power consumption as illustrated above is for reference purpose only
Setting
Default settings
At its default setting, (Setting 3), PowerSensor
is designed to detect the presence of the user
located between 30 and 100 cm (12 and 40
left or right of the monitor.
Custom settings
If you prefer to be in a position outside the
perimeters listed above, choose a higher
The higher the setting, the stronger the
detection signal. For maximum PowerSensor
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.
You can return to the default mode at any
time (Setting 3).

Landscape/Portrait mode
Above illustrations are for reference purpose only
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 default position ‘3’ on 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
sensitive to nearby motion for some reason,
please adjust to a lower signal strength.

8.1 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
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
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.
subpixel
pixel
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
