1. 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 imaging” is a well-known
phenomenon in LCD panel
technology. In most cases, the
“Burn-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
Service contact information listed in
Important information manual.)

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 up to 80%.
User present in front User not present

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 five 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 efficiency: The higher the
setting, the stronger the detection signal.
For maximum PowerSensor efficiency
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.

9.1 Philips’ Flat Panel Displays
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 Display panels used
in flat panel displays are sometimes
unavoidable. No manufacturer can
guarantee that all panels will be
free from pixel defects, but Philips
guarantees that any display 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 Display panel must exceed
these acceptable levels. For example,
no more than 0.0004% of the sub
pixels on a display 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 display
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)
29
9. 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 Display panel
in a Philips flat panel display 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
display displays a light pattern. These
are the types of black dot defects.
