The Philips guarantee applies provided
the product is handled properly for
its intended use, in accordance with
its operating instructions and upon
presentation of the original invoice
or cash receipt, indicating the date of
purchase, dealer’s name and model
and production number of the product.
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.
Excessive sound pressure from
earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss. Adjustment of the
equalizer to maximum increases the
earphones and headphones output
voltage and therefore the sound
pressure level.
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.
• Keep the display away from oil. Oil
may damage the plastic cover of the
display and void the warranty.
• 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 Service
contact information listed in
Important information manual.)
• Operate under the specified power
supply. Be sure to operate the
monitor only with the specified
power supply. Use of an incorrect
voltage will cause malfunction and
may cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not disassemble the AC adapter.
Disassembling the AC adapter may
expose you to the danger of fire or
electric shock.
• Protect the cable. Do not pull or
bend the power cable and signal
cable. Do not place the monitor
or any other heavy objects on the
cables, if damaged, the cables may
cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not subject the monitor to
severe vibration or high impact
conditions during operation.

2
1. Important
• Do not knock or drop the monitor
during operation or transportation.
• Excessive usage of monitor can
cause eye discomfort, it’s better to
take shorter breaks more often at
your workstation than longer breaks
and less often; for example a 5-10
minute break after 50-60-minute
continuous screen use is likely to
be better than a 15-minute break
every two hours. Try to keep your
eyes from eye strain while using the
screen for a constant period of time
by :
• Looking at something varying
distances after a long period
focusing on the screen.
• Conscious Blinking often while
you work.
• Gently closing and rolling your
eyes to relax.
• Reposition your screen to ap-
propriate height and angle ac-
cording to your height.
• Adjusting the brightness and
contrast to appropriate level.
• Adjusting the environment light-
ing similar to that of your screen
brightness, avoid the uorescent
lighting, and surfaces that don’t
reect too much light.
• Seeing a doctor if your symp-
toms.
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.
• Oil-based cleaning solutions may
damage the plastic parts and void
the warranty.
• 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
locations 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.
• 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

3
1. Important
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
“burn-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
that will not disappear and cannot be
repaired. The damage mentioned above
is not covered under your warranty.
Service
• The casing cover should be opened
only by qualified service personnel.
• If there is any need for any
document for repair or integration,
please contact with your local
service center. (Please refer to
Service contact information listed in
Important information manual.)
• For transportation information,
please refer to “Technical
Specifications”.
• Do not leave your monitor in a car/

If you have VESA DPM compliance
display card or software installed in
your PC, the monitor can 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:

7.1 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.

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. There are the
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)
