vere vibration or high impact condi-
tions during operation.

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.

6.1 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.
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 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)
17
6. Customer care and warranty
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.

7. Troubleshooting & FAQs
7.3 MHL FAQs
Q1: I cannot see my mobile device
image on the monitor screen
Ans.:
• Please check if your mobile device is
MHL certified.
• You also need to have a MHL
certified cable to connect the
devices.
• Make sure that you have connected
to the MHL-HDMI port, and that
correct input is selected on the
Monitor via the input selector (front
bezel or OSD)
• The product is officially MHL-
certified. As this monitor is a
passive display, if you encounter
any unexpected troubles when
using the MHL input, please refer
to the mobile device’s user manual
or contact the manufacturer of the
mobile device.
• Make sure your mobile device
has not entered standby (sleep)
mode. If it has, then you will see a
notification message on the display.
Once the mobile device wakes up,
the monitor’s display will wake and
show the images. You may need
to make sure that the correct input
is selected if in between you have
used or connected any other device
Q2. Why is the image on the monitor
display of poor quality? My
mobile device looks far better.
Ans.:
• The MHL standard defines fixed
1080p@30Hz for output, and input.
This monitor complies with this
standard.
• The image quality depends on the
quality of the original contents. If
the content is of high resolution
(example HD or 1080p), then it
will appear in HD or 1080p on
this monitor display. If the original
content is in low resolution
(example QVGA) it may look good
on the mobile device due to its
small screen size, but will look to be
of lower quality on the large screen
monitor display.
25
7. Troubleshooting & FAQs
Q3. I cannot hear sound from the
monitor display.
Ans.:
• Make sure your monitor display has
built-in speakers and the volume
is turned on the monitor side, and
also on the mobile device side.
You may also want to use optional
headphones.
• If your monitor display does not
have in built speakers, then you can
connect optional headphones to
the output on the monitor. Please
ensure that the volume is turned on
the monitor side, and also on the
mobile device side.
