This electronic user’s guide is intended
for anyone who uses the Philips
monitor. Take time to read this user’s
manual before you use your monitor.
It contains important information and
notes regarding the operation of your
monitor.
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.
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 o the monitor by detach-
ing 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 at all times. If
your power cord is missing, please
contact your local service center.
(Please refer to Service contact
information listed in Important infor-
mation manual.)
• Do not subject the monitor to se-
vere vibration or high impact condi-
tions during operation.
• To avoid potential damage, for
example the panel peeling from the
bezel, ensure that the monitor does
not tilt downward by more than -5
degrees. If the -5 degree downward
tilt angle maximum is exceeded, the
monitor damage will not be covered
under warranty.
• Do not knock or drop the monitor
during operation or transportation.
• The USB Type-C port could only be
connected to specify equipment
with fire enclosure in compliance
with IEC 62368-1 or IEC 60950-1.
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.

2
1. Important
• 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
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/
trunk under direct sun light.
Note
Consult a service technician if the
monitor does not operate normally, or
you are not sure what procedure to take
when the operating instructions given in
this manual have been followed.

ultra-violet rays can cause eye
damage, shortwave length blue light
rays from LED displays can cause
eye damage and affect vision over
time. Developed for wellbeing,
Philips LowBlue Mode setting uses a
smart software technology to reduce
harmful shortwave blue light.
• SmartUniformity: Fluctuations in
brightness and color on different
parts of a screen are a common
phenomenon among LCD monitors.
Typical uniformity is measured
around 75-80%. By enabling Philips
SmartUniformity feature, display
uniformity is increased to above
95%. This produces more consistent
and true images.
• Off: No optimization by SmartImage.

3.2 SmartContrast
What is it?
Unique technology that dynamically
analyzes displayed content and
automatically optimizes a Display'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 display's power
consumption, you save on energy costs
and extend the lifetime of your display.
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.
4. PowerSensor™
How does it work?
• PowerSensor works on principle
of transmission and reception of
harmless “infrared” signals in order
to detect user-presence.
• 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 upto 80%.

5. Adaptive Sync
Adaptive Sync
PC gaming has long been an imperfect
experience because GPUs and monitors
update at different rates. Sometimes
a GPU can render many new pictures
during a single update of the monitor,
and the monitor will show pieces of
each picture as a single image. This is
called “tearing.” Gamers can fix tearing
with a feature called “v-sync,” but the
image can become jerky as the GPU
waits on the monitor to call for an
update before delivering new pictures.
The responsiveness of mouse input and
overall frames per second are reduced
with v-sync, too. AMD Adaptive Sync™
technology eliminates all of these
problems by letting the GPU update the
monitor the moment a new picture is
ready, leaving gamers with unbelievably
smooth, responsive, tearing-free games.
