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 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 all the time. If your power cord

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

image” symptoms will not disappear and cannot
be repaired. The damage mentioned above is
not covered under your warranty.

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")

3. Image Optimization

3.1 SmartContrast

What is it?

A unique technology that dynamically analyzes
displayed content and automatically optimizes
an LCD monitor's contrast ratio for maximum
visual clarity and viewing enjoyment, stepping
up backlighting for clearer, crisper and brighter
images or dimming backlighting for clear display
of images on dark backgrounds.

Why do I need it?

You want the very best visual clarity and
viewing comfort for every type of content.
SmartContrast dynamically controls contrast
and adjusts backlighting for clear, crisp, bright
gaming and video images or displays clear,
readable text for office work. By reducing your
monitor's power consumption, you save on
energy costs and extend the lifetime of your
monitor.

How does it work?

When you activate SmartContrast, it will analyse
the content you are displaying in real time to
adjust colors and control backlight intensity. This
function will dynamically enhance contrast for a
great entertainment experience when viewing
videos or playing games.

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.

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).

27

7

. Customer care and warrant

y

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)
