SAFETY AND TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION
Safety precautions and maintenance
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your monitor:
Operation:
• Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat source.
• 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 accessible.
• If turning off the monitor by detaching the power cord, wait for 6 seconds before attaching the power cord for normal
operation.
• Please use approved power cord provided by Philips all the time. If your power cord is missing, please contact with
your local service 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
monitor, 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 immediately 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 locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight or extreme cold.
• In order to maintain the best performance of your monitor and use it for a longer lifetime, please use the monitor in a
location that falls within the following temperature and humidity ranges.
- Temperature: 0 ~ 40 C 32-95 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 imaging" is a wellknown phenomenon in LCD panel technology. In most
cases, the “burned in” or “afterimaging” or “ghost imaging” will disappear gradually over a period of time after the power
has been switched off.
WARNING: Severe "burn-in" or "after-image" or "ghost image" symptoms will not disappear and cannot be repaired.
The damage mentioned above is not covered under your warranty.
WARNING: 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.
User Manual BDL4230E
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.
• Do not leave your monitor in a car/trunk under direct sun light.
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:
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.
• 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 alcohol, solvents or ammonia-based
liquids.
• Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when you have followed
the instructions in this manual.
• The casing cover should be opened only by qualified service personnel.
• Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat source.
• Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s
electronics.
• Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.
• Keep the monitor dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to rain or excessive moisture.
• If turning off the monitor by detaching power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds
before attach the power cable or DC power cord for normal operation.
• To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set do not expose the monitor to rain or
excessive moisture.
• When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.
• IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your application. If a still image in
high contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave an “after-
image” or “ghost image” on the front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is
caused by the shortcomings inherent in the LCD technology. In most cases the afterimage will
disappear gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off. Be aware that
the after-image symptom cannot be repaired and is not covered under warranty.

INFORMATION FOR UK ONLY
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
Important:
This apparatus is supplied with an approved moulded 13A plug. To change a fuse in this
type of plug proceed as follows:
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS 1362 5A,A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an
appropriate 3-pin plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5A. If a plug without a fuse
is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A.
Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it
be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
BLUE - “NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN - “LIVE” (“L”)
GREEN & YELLOW - “EARTH”(‘E”)
1. The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter “E” or by the Earth symbol or coloured GREEN
or GREEN AND YELLOW.
2. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter
“N” or coloured BLACK.
3. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which marked with the letter
“L” or coloured RED.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the
sheath of the lead - not simply over the three wires.

6. 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 PDP / TFT panels used in
Plasma- & LCD- displays are sometimes unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee that all panels will be free from
pixel defects, but Philips guarantees that any Plasma- & LCD- displays with an unacceptable number of defects will be
repaired during the warranty period in line with your local guarantee conditions.
This notice explains the different types of pixel defects and defines the acceptable defect level for the BDL4230E LCD
screen. In order to qualify for repair under warranty, the number of pixel defects must exceed a certain level which is
given in the reference table. If the LCD screen is within specification a warranty exchange / claim back will be refused.
Additionally, because some types or combinations of pixel defects are more noticeable than others, Philips sets even
higher quality standards for those.
6.1. 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.
6.2. TYPES OF PIXEL DEFECTS + DOT DEFINITION
Pixel and sub-pixel defects appear on the screen in different ways. There are three categories of pixel defects and several
types of sub-pixel defects within each category.
Dot definition = What is a defective "Dot"? :
One or more defective, adjacent sub-pixel are defined as one "dot". The no. of defective sub-pixels are not relevant to
define a defective dot. This means that a defective dot can consist of one, two or three defective sub-pixels which can be
dark or lit.

6.3. BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS
Bright dot defects appear as pixels or sub-pixels that are always lit or "on". These are the examples of bright dot defects:
6.4. DARK DOT DEFECTS
Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub-pixels that are always dark or "off". These are the examples of black dot
defects:
6.5. PROXIMITY OF PIXEL DEFECTS
Because pixel and sub-pixels defects of the same type that are nearby one another may be more noticeable, Philips also
specifies tolerances for the proximity of pixel defects. In the table below you can find specifications about:
• Allowed amount of adjacent dark dots = (adjacent dark dots =1 pair of dark dots)
• Minimum distance between dark dots
• Total no. of all defective dots
6.6. PIXEL DEFECT TOLERANCES
In order to qualify for repair due to pixel defects during the warranty period, a PDP / TFT panel in a Philips Plasma /
LCD- display must have pixel or sub-pixel defects exceeding the tolerances listed in the following table.
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 dot)
One dark dot Two adjacent dark dots = 1 pair of
dark dots
Two dark dots, specifications defines
the minimum distance between dark
dots
BRIGHT DOT EFFECT ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
MODEL BDL4230E
1 lit sub pixel 1
BLACK DOT EFFECT ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 dark sub pixel 8
TOTAL DOT DEFECTS OF ALL TYPES 9
Note: * 1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect

7. CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING
7.1. CLEANING
Cautions When Using the Display
• Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the
display. Top of display is usually very hot due to the high temperature of exhaust
air being released through the ventilation holes. Burns or personal injuries may
occur if any body parts are brought too close. Placing any object near the top
of the display could also result in heat related damages to the object as well as
the display itself.
• Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the display. Moving the display
with its cables attached may damage the cables and thus case fire or electric
shock danger.
• Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before
carrying out any type of cleaning or maintenance procedure.
Front Panel Cleaning Instructions
• The front of the display has been specially treated. Wipe the surface gently
using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
• If the surface becomes dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a mild detergent
solution. Wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Wipe the surface of the
display to remove dirt. Then use a dry cloth of the same type to dry.
• Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingers or hard objects of
any kind.
• Do not use volatile substances such as insert sprays, solvents and thinners.
Cabinet Cleaning Instructions
• If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.
• If the cabinet is extremely dirty, soak a lint-free cloth in a mild detergent
solution. Wring the cloth to remove as much moisture as possible. Wipe the
cabinet. Use another dry cloth to wipe over until the surface is dry.
• Do not allow any water or detergent to come into contact with the surface of
the display. If water or moisture gets inside the unit, operating problems,
electrical and shock hazards may result.
• Do not scratch or hit the cabinet with fingers or hard objects of any kind.
• Do not use volatile substances such as insert sprays, solvents and thinners on
the cabinet.
• Do not place anything made from rubber or PVC near the cabinet for any
extended periods of time.
