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.
Excessive sound pressure from
earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss. Adjustment of the
equalizer to maximum increases the
earphones and headphones output
voltage and therefore 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.
• 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 Service

during operation.
• Do not knock or drop the monitor
during operation or transportation.
• Excessive usage of monitor can
cause eye discomfort, it’s better to

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.

• EasyRead: Helps improve reading
of text based application like PDF
ebooks. By using a special algorithm
which increases the contrast and
boundary sharpness of text content,
the display is optimized for a
stress-free reading by adjusting
the brightness, contrast and color
temperature of the monitor.
• Office: Enhances text and dampens
brightness to increase readability
and reduce eye strain. This mode
significantly enhances readability
and productivity when you’re
working with spreadsheets, PDF
files, scanned articles or other
general office applications.
• Photo: This profile combines color
saturation, dynamic contrast and
sharpness enhancement to display
photos and other images with
outstanding clarity in vibrant colors
- all without artifacts and faded
colors.
• Movie: Ramped up luminance,
deepened color saturation, dynamic
contrast and razor sharpness
displays every details in darker
areas of your videos without
color washout in brighter areas
maintaining a dynamic natural
values for the ultimate video
display.
• Game: Turn on over drive circuit for
best response time, reduce jaggy
edges for fast moving objects on
screen, enhance contrast ratio for
bright and dark scheme, this profile
delivers the best gaming experience
for gamers.
• Economy: Under this profile,
brightness, contrast are adjusted
and backlighting finetuned for just
right display of everyday office
applications and lower power
consumption.

Studies have shown that just as
ultra-violet rays can cause eye
damage, shortwave length blue light
rays from LED displays can cause
eye damage and affect vision over
time. Developed for wellbeing,
Philips LowBlue Mode setting uses
a smart software technology to
reduce harmful shortwave blue
light.
• Off: No optimization by
SmartImage.

5. Image Optimization
5.2 SmartContrast
What is it?
Unique technology that dynamically
analyzes displayed content and
automatically optimizes a 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.
6. 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 upto 80%.

10.1 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.
Sub pixels
Pixels
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.
One lit red, green or blue sub pixel.
Two adjacent lit sub pixels:
- Red + Blue = Purple
- Red + Green = Yellow
- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)
30
10.Customer care and warranty
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.
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.
