10 Pixel 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 a flat monitor panel 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 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.
These are some 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)
24 EN
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 some 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 Philips flat monitor panel must have pixel or
sub pixel defects exceeding the tolerances listed
in the following tables.
25EN
English
BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
MODEL 221TE4L / 231TE4L
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
MODEL 221TE4L / 231TE4L
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
MODEL 221TE4L / 231TE4L
Total bright or black dot defects of all types 5 or fewer
Note
• 1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect

Picture issues
The monitor is on, but there is no picture:
• Check that the antenna is properly
connected to the monitor.
• Check that the correct device is selected
as the monitor source.
There is sound but no picture:

connected to the monitor.
• Loud speakers, unearthed audio devices,
neon lights, high buildings and other large
objects can inuence reception quality.
If possible, try to improve the reception
quality by changing the antenna direction
or moving devices away from the monitor.
• If reception on only one channel is poor,
ne tune this channel.
There is poor picture quality from connected
devices:
• Check that the devices are connected
properly.
• Check that the picture settings are
correctly set.

11 Troubleshooting
This section describes commonly encountered
issues and suggested solutions.
General monitor issues
The monitor does not switch on:
• Disconnect the power cable from the
power outlet. Wait for one minute then
reconnect it.
• Check that the power cable is securely
connected.
The remote control is not working properly:
• Check that the remote control batteries
are correctly inser ted according to the
+/- orientation.
• Replace the remote control batteries if
they are at or weak.
• Clean the remote control and monitor
sensor lens.
The monitor menu is in the wrong language
• Change the monitor menu to your
preferred language.
When turning the monitor on/off/to standby,
you hear a creaking sound from the monitor
chassis:
• No action is required. The creaking sound
is normal expansion and contraction of
the monitor as it cools and warms up.
This does not impact performance.
TV channel issues
Previously installed channels do not appear in
the channel list:
• Check that the correct channel list is
selected.
No digital channels were found during the
installation:
• Check that the monitor supports
ISDB-Tb, SBTVD-T in your country. See
the listed countries on the back of the
monitor.

try switching the source from one device
to another and back again.
• If there are intermittent sound
disruptions, check that output settings
from the HDMI device are correct.
• If an HDMI-to-DVI adaptor or HDMI
to DVI cable is used, check that an
additional audio cable is possible could be
connected to PC AUDIO IN (mini-jack
