4. PowerSensor™
4. PowerSensor™
How does it work?
• PowerSensor works on principle of
transmission and reception of harmless
“infrared” signals in order to detect
userpresence.
• 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 up to 80%.
User present in front User not present
ttaW ttaW
Power consumption as illustrated above is for
reference purpose only.
Setting
Default settings
PowerSensor is designed to detect the presence of
the user located between 30 and 100 cm (12 and
40 inches) from the display and within ve degrees
left or right of the monitor.
Custom settings
If you prefer to be in a position outside the
perimeters listed above, choose a higher strength
signal for optimal detection efciency: The higher
the setting, the stronger the detection signal. For
maximum PowerSensor efciency and proper
detection, please position 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.

How to adjust settings
If PowerSensor is not operating correctly inside or
outside the default range, here’s how to ne-tune
detection:
• Customize the button to serve as
PowerSensor hot key. Refer “Customize your
own “USER” key section. (If your display is
with “Sensor” hot key, go to next step.)
• Press the PowerSensor hot key.
• 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);
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 nd that
the PowerSensor is excessively sensitive to nearby
motion for some reason, please adjust to a lower

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)
Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel).

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
used in at 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 denes
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
22
8. Customer care and warranty
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 species 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 at 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
BLACK DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 dark subpixel 5 or fewer
2 adjacent dark subpixels 2 or fewer
3 adjacent dark subpixels 0
Distance between two black dot defects* >15mm
Total black dot defects of all types 5 or fewer
TOTAL DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
Total bright or black dot defects of all types 5 or fewer
Note
1. 1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect
2. This monitor is ISO9241-307 compliant (ISO9241-307: Ergonomic requirement , analysis and
compliance test methods for electronic visual displays).

Q11: What is Image Sticking, or Image Burn-
in, or After Image, or Ghost Image in
monitor panels?
Ans.: 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 monitor panel
technology. In most cases, the "burned
in" or "atter-imaging" or "ghost imaging"
will disappear gradually over a period of
time after the power has been switched
off.
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.
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.

regardless of the video source input),
you can press to enter OSD menu.
Select your preferred [Audio Source]
option from the [Audio] main menu.
Please note that the next time you
turn on your monitor, the monitor will
by default select the audio source you
chose last time. In case you want to
change it again, you need to go through
the above steps to select your new
preferred audio source, which then will
become the “default” mode.
