Safety precautions and maintenance
WARNING: 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:
●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 alcohol, solvents or
ammonia-based liquids.
●Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when you have
followed the instructions in this manual.
●The casing cover should be opened only by qualified service personnel.
●Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat source.
●Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s
electronics.
●Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.
●Keep the monitor dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to rain or excessive
moisture.
●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.
●To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not expose the monitor to
rain or excessive moisture.
●IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your application. If a still
image in high contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave
an 'after-image' or 'ghost image' on front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon
that is caused by the shortcomings inherent in LCD technology. In most cases, the after-
image will disappear gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched
off. Be aware, that the after-image symptom cannot be repaired and is not covered under
warranty.
Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when the operating
instructions given in this manual have been followed.

file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/W5/english/150s5/product/product.htm (2 of 7)6/7/2004 11:14:41 AM

Product Information
sRGB is a standard for ensuring correct exchange of colors between different devices (e.g.
digital cameras, monitors, printers, scanners, etc.)
Using a standard unified color space, sRGB will help represent pictures taken by an sRGB
compatible device correctly on your sRGB enabled Philips monitors. In that way, the colors are
calibrated and you can rely on the correctness of the colors shown on your screen.
Important with the use of sRGB is that the brightness and contrast of your monitor is fixed to a
predefined setting as well as the color gamut. Therefore it is important to select the sRGB
setting in the monitor's OSD.
To do so, open the OSD by pressing the OK button on the front of your monitor. Use the down
button to go to Adjust Color and press OK again. Then move the down button to go to sRGB
and press OK again.
Exit this OSD.
After this, please do not change the brightness or contrast setting of your monitor. If you
change either of these, the monitor will exit the sRGB mode and go to a color temperature
setting of 6500K.
For more information on sRGB, please visit: www.srgb.com
* This data is subject to change without notice.

automatically reduce its power consumption when not in use. If an input from a keyboard, mouse
or other input device is detected, the monitor will 'wake up' automatically. The following table
shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power saving feature:
Power Management Definition

Your monitor comes with a D-Sub cable.
Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) specification provides a high-speed digital connection for visual
data types that is display technology independent. The interface is primarily focused at providing a
connection between a computer and its display device. The DVI specification meets the needs of all
segments of the PC industry (workstation, desktop, laptop, etc.) and will enable these different
segments to unite around one monitor interface specification.
file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/W5/english/150s5/glossary/glossary.htm (1 of 3)6/7/2004 11:15:06 AM

Glossary
The DVI interface enables:
1. Reduce signal loss and video noise in signal due to less signal conversion.
2. Independent from display technology, and can be used on LCD, Plasma, LCOS, etc.
3. Plug and play through hot plug detection, EDID and DDC2B.
4. Digital and Analog support in a single connector (DVI-I only).
