• 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 at all times. If
your power cord is missing, please
contact your local service center.
(Please refer to Customer Care
Consumer Information Center)

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.
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”.
• Do not leave your monitor in a car/

Ambiglow
Ambiglow
What is it?
Ambiglow adds a new dimension to
your viewing experience. This patented
Philips technology uses two rows
of bright LED’s projecting a glow of
light on the bottom of the display.
The innovative Ambiglow processor
continuously adjusts the overall color
and brightness of the light to match the
on screen image. User options like Auto
mode, 3 step brightness settings allow
to adjust the ambiance to your liking
and available wall surface. Whether
you are playing fast 3D or 2D games,

lighting conditions in your room for
maximum effect. Ensure that Ambiglow
is set to “on” mode. Start a movie, or
play a game from your computer. The
monitor will react with appropriate
colors creating a halo effect, overall
matching the image on the screen. You

Brightest mode or ambiglow function
off mode depending on your preference
which helps reduce eye fatigue under
prolonged usage.

5. FreeSync
5. FreeSync
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 FreeSync™
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.
Followed by the graphic card that are
compatible.

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)

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 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
19
8. 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.

BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 lit subpixel 3
2 adjacent lit subpixels 1
3 adjacent lit subpixels (one white pixel) 0
