2 Important

Read and understand all instructions before you
use your monitor. If damage is caused by failure
to follow instructions, the warranty does not
apply.

Safety

• Risk of electric shock or re!

• Never expose the monitor to rain or

water. Never place liquid containers,
such as vases, near the monitor.
If liquids are spilt on or into the

from the power outlet immediately.
Contact Philips Consumer Care to
have the monitor checked before
use.

• Never place the monitor, remote

control or batteries near naked

plugs. Loose power plugs can cause

arcing or re.

• Risk of injury or damage to the monitor!

• Two people are required to lif t and

carry a monitor that weights more
than 25 kg.

• When stand mounting the monitor,
use only the supplied stand. Secure
the stand to the monitor tightly. Place

the monitor on a at, level surface

that can support the combined
weight of the monitor and the stand.

• When wall mounting the monitor,
use only a wall mount that can
support the weight of the monitor.
Secure the wall mount to a wall that
can support the combined weight
of the monitor and wall mount.
Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.
bears no responsibility for improper
wall mounting that results in accident,
injury or damage.

• Risk of injury to children! Follow these
precautions to prevent the monitor

children:

• Never place the monitor on a surface

covered by a cloth or other material
that can be pulled away.

• Ensure that no part of the monitor

hangs over the edge of the sur face.

• Never place the monitor on tall

furniture (such as a bookcase)
without anchoring both the furniture
and monitor to the wall or a suitable
support.

• Educate children about the dangers

of climbing on furniture to reach the
monitor.

• Risk of overheating! Never install the
monitor in conned space. Always leave

at least 4 inches of space around the
monitor for ventilation. Ensure cur tains or
other objects never cover the ventilation
slots on the monitor.

• Risk of damage to the monitor! Before
you connect the monitor to the power
outlet, ensure that the power voltage
matches the value printed on the back of
the monitor. Never connect the monitor
to the power outlet if the voltage is
different.

always pull the plug, never the cable.

• Disconnect the monitor from the power
outlet and aerial before lightning storms.
During lightning storms, never touch any
part of the monitor, power cord or aerial
cable.

• Risk of hearing damage! Avoid using
earphones or headphones at high

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.

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

English

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.

Two adjacent lit sub pixels:

- Red + Blue = Purple

- Red + Green = Yellow

- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)

Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel)

23EN

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.

24 EN

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

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.

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:

• Check that the picture settings are
correctly set.

There is poor monitor reception from an
antenna connection:

• Check that the antenna is properly
connected to the monitor.

• Loud speakers, unearthed audio devices,
neon lights, high buildings and other large

objects can inuence 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.

The monitor did not save your picture
settings:

• Check that the monitor location is set to
the home setting. This mode offers you

the exibility to change and save settings.

Thepicturedoesnottthescreen;itistoo

big or too small:

• Try a different picture format.

The picture position is incorrect:

• Picture signals from some devices may not

t the screen correctly. Check the signal

output of the device.

26 EN

Sound issues

Computer connection issues

There is a picture but no sound from the
monitor:

Note

• If no audio signal is detected, the monitor

automatically switches the audio output off —
this does not indicate malfunction.

• Check that all cables are properly
connected.

• Check that the volume is not set to 0.

• Check that the sound is not muted.

There is a picture but the sound quality is
poor:

• Check that the sound settings are
correctly set.

There is a picture but sound comes from one
speaker only:

• Verify that sound balance is set to the
center.

HDMI connection issues

There are problems with HDMI devices:

• Note that HDCP support can delay
the time taken for a monitor to display
content from an HDMI device.

• If the monitor does not recognise the
HDMI device and no picture is displayed,
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
only).

The computer display on the monitor is not
stable:

• Check that a supported resolution and
refresh rate is selected on the computer.

• Set the monitor picture format to
unscaled.
