Automatic Power Saving
If you have VESA DPMS compliance display card or software installed in y\
our PC, the monitor can automatically reduce 
its power consumption when not in use. If an input from a keyboard, mous\
e or other input device is detected, the monitor 
will wake up automatically. The following table shows the power consum\
ption and signaling of this automatic power 
saving feature:

Philips Pixel Defect Policy
Philips Flat Panel Monitors Pixel Defect Policy
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of \
the industrys most advanced 
manufacturing processes and practice stringent quality control. However,\
 pixel or sub pixel defects on 
the TFT LCD panels used in flat panel monitors are sometimes unavoidable\
. No manufacturer can 
guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defects, but Philips g\
uarantees that any monitor with 
an unacceptable number of defects will be repaired or replaced under war\
ranty. This notice explains 
the different types of pixel defects and defines acceptable defect level\
s for each type. In order to 
qualify for repair or replacement under warranty, the number of pixel de\
fects on a TFT LCD panel 
must exceed these acceptable levels. For example, no more than 0.0004% o\
f the sub pixels on a 19 
XGA monitor may be defective. Furthermore, Philips sets even higher qual\
ity standards for certain 
types or combinations of pixel defects that are more noticeable than oth\
ers. This policy is valid 
worldwide.
Pixels and Sub pixels 
A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three sub pixels in the prim\
ary 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 t\
hree colored sub pixels together 
appear as a single black pixel. Other combinations of lit and dark sub p\
ixels appear as single pixels of 
other colors.




Types of Pixel Defects 
Pixel and sub pixel defects appear on the screen in different ways. Ther\
e 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 o\
r 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 
pixelTwo adjacent lit sub pixels:
- Red + Blue = Purple
- Red + Green = Yellow
- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)
Three adjacent lit sub pixels 
(one white pixel)




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.
 
 
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:
One dark sub pixel Two or three adjacent dark sub pixels
Proximity of Pixel Defects 
Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the same type that are near to o\
ne another may be more 
noticeable, Philips also specifies tolerances for the proximity of pixel\
 defects.
