. PowerSensor™
4. PowerSensor™
Q How does it work?
• PowerSensor works on principle of
transmission and reception of harmless
"infrared" signals in order to detect
userpresence.
• When the user is in front of the monitor
the monitor operates normally, at the
predetermined settings that the user has set i.e. Brightness, contrast, color etc.
• Assuming that the monitor was set to 100%
of brightness for example, when the user
leaves his seat and is no longer in front of the
monitor the monitor automatically reduces
the power consumption up to 80%.
User present in frontUser not present
Power consumption as illustrated above is for
reference purpose only
Q Setting
Default settings
At its default setting, (Setting 3), PowerSensor
is designed to detect the presence of the user
located between 30 and 100 cm (12 and 40
inches) from the display and within fve degrees
left or right of the monitor
Custom settings
If you prefer to be in a position outside the
perimeters listed above, choose a higher strength
signal for optimal detection effciency:The higher
the setting, the strongerthe detection signal. For
maximum PowerSensoreffciencyand proper
detection, please position yourself directly in front
of your monitor
• If you choose to position yourself more than
100 cm or 40 inches from the monitor use
the maximum detection signal for distances
up to 120cm or 47 inches. (setting 4)
• Since some dark colored clothing tends to
absorb infrared signals even when the user
is within 100 cm or 40 inches of the display
step up signal strength when wearing black or
other dark clothes.
You can return to the default mode at any
time (setting 3)
Hot key Sensor distance
Above illustrations are for reference purpose only
How to adjust settings
If PowerSensor is not operating correctly inside or
outside the default range, here’s how to fne-tune
detection:
• Press the PowerSensor hot key
• You will find the default position ’3’ on the
adjustment bar
• Adjust the PowerSensor detection adjustment
to Setting 4 and press OK.
• Test the new setup to see if PowerSensor
properly detects you in your current position.
• PowerSensor function is designed to work
in Landscape mode (horizontal position)
onlyAfter PowerSensor turn on it, it will
automatically turn Off if the monitor is used
in Portrait mode (90 degree/vertical position);
it will automatically turn ON if monitor is
returned to its default Landscape position.
@ Note
A manually selected PowerSensor mode will
remain operational unless and until it is readjusted
orthe default mode is recalled. If you fnd that
the PowerSensor is excessively sensitive to nearby
motion for some reason, please adjustto a lower
signal strength.
USB connection between the monitor and PC is
required forthe webcam to operate.
The webcam allows you to hold interactive video
and audio conference calls overthe internet. It
provides the most convenient and easiest way
for Business persons to communicate with other

also allows you to take photos, share files or use
microphone only without enabling webcam.The
microphone and activity light are on the side of the

products.We use some ofthe industry's most
advanced manufacturing processes and practice
stringent quality control. However; pixelor
sub pixeldefects on theTFT Monitor panels
used in flat panelmonitors are sometimes
unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee
that allpanels willbe free from pixeldefects;
but Philips guarantees that any monitorwith an
unacceptable number of defects willbe repaired
or replaced underwarranty.This notice explains
the differenttypes ofpixeldefects and deflnes
acceptable defect levels for each type. In order
to qualify for repair or replacement under
warranty; the number ofpixeldefects on aTFT
Monitor panelmust 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 higherquality
standards for certain types or combinations
of pixeldefects that are more noticeable than
others.This policy is valid worldwide.

sub pixels appear as single pixels of other colors.
Types of Pixel Defects
Pixel and sub pixeldefects appear on the screen
in different ways.There are two categories of
pixeldefects and severaltypes ofsub 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-pixelthat stands out on the screen when
the monitor displays a dark pattern.There are

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 togetherform an
image. When all sub pixels ofa pixelare lit; the
three colored sub pixels together appear as a
single white pixel.When allare dark; thethree
colored sub pixels together appear as a single
A red or blue bright dot must be more than 50
percent brighterthan neighboring dots while
a green bright dot is 30 percent brighterthan
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-pixelthat stands out on the screen when
the monitor displays a light pattern.These are
the types of black dot defects.
