1.1 Safety precautions and mainte-
nance
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.
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 ac-
cessible.
• 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)
• Do not subject the monitor to severe
vibration or high impact conditions during
operation.
• Do not knock or drop the monitor during
operation or transportation.
Maintenance
• To protect your monitor from possible
damage, do not put excessive pressure on
the LCD panel. When moving your moni-
tor, grasp the frame to lift; do not lift the
monitor by placing your hand or fingers on
the LCD panel.
• Unplug the monitor if you are not going to
use it for an extensive period of time.
• Unplug the monitor if you need to clean it
with a slightly damp cloth. The screen may
be wiped with a dry cloth when the power
is off. However, never use organic solvent,
such as, alcohol, or ammonia-based liquids
to clean your monitor.
• To avoid the risk of shock or permanent
damage to the set, do not expose the
monitor to dust, rain, water, or excessive
moisture environment.
• If your monitor gets wet, wipe it with dry
cloth as soon as possible.
• If foreign substance or water gets in your
monitor, please turn the power off immedi-
ately and disconnect the power cord. Then,
remove the foreign substance or water, and
send it to the maintenance center.
• Do not store or use the monitor in loca-
tions exposed to heat, direct sunlight or
extreme cold.
• In order to maintain the best performance
of your monitor and use it for a longer life-
time, please use the monitor in a location
that falls within the following temperature
and humidity ranges.
2
1. Important
• Temperature: 0-40°C 32-104°F
• Humidity: 20-80% RH
• IMPORTANT: 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 imag-
ing" 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/trunk
under direct sun light.
Note
Consult a service technician if the monitor
does not operate normally, or you are not sure
what procedure to take when the operating
instructions given in this manual have been
followed.

7.1 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)
Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel).
16
7. 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 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
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)
