1.1 Safety precautions and maintenance
Warnings
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.
Read and follow these instructions when
connecting and using your computer monitor.
Operation
• Please Keep the monitor out of direct
sunlight, very strong bright lights and
away from any other heat source. Lengthy
exposure to this type of environment may
result in discoloration and damage to the
monitor.
• 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 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
is missing, please contact with your local
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
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 loca-
tions 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.

1. Important
• Temperature: 0-40°C 32-104°F
• Humidity: 20-80% RH
Important information for Burn-in/Ghost
image
• 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
“burned 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 will not disappear and cannot be
repaired. The damage mentioned above is not
covered under your warranty.

3. Image Optimization
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.

6.1 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.
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.
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
Two adjacent lit sub pixels:
- Red + Blue = Purple
- Red + Green = Yellow
- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)
Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel).
15
6. Customer care and warranty
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.
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.
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.
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

7. Troubleshooting & FAQs
Image appears blurred, indistinct or too dark
• Adjust the contrast and brightness on
On-Screen Display.
An "after-image", "burn-in" or "ghost image"
remains after the power has been turned off.
• 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. "Burnin", "after-imaging", or "ghost imaging" is a
well-known phenomenon in LCD panel
technology. In most cases, the "burned in"
