If y

ou prefer to be in a position outside the 
perimeters listed above, choose a higher strength 
signal for optimal detection efficiency: The higher 
the setting, the stronger the detection signal. For 
maximum PowerSensor efficiency and 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 garb. 
You can return to the default mode at any 
• 
time (setting 3)
How to adjust settings
If PowerSensor is not operating correctly inside or 
outside the default range, here’s how to fine-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.
 Note
A man ually selected PowerSensor mode will 
remain operational unless and until it is readjusted 
or the default mode is recalled.  If you find that 
the PowerSensor is excessively sensitive to nearby 
motion for some reason, please adjust to a lower 
signal strength.   
3.6 PowerSensor
PowerSensor is a unique environmentally friendly 
technology from Philips which enab

les user to save 
upto 70% of power consumption.  In line with 
Philip’s Sense and Simplicity drive, this user friendly 
technology works for you right out of the box 
without any hardware or software installation, and 
without any user inter vention in the default mode.
  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 up to 70%.
     Power consumption as illustrated above is for reference purpose only
 Settings
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 five degrees 
left or right of the monitor.

Philips Flat Panel Monitors Pixel Defect 
Policy
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality 
products. We use some of the industr ys 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 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 LCD panel must exceed 
these acceptable levels. For example, no more 
than 0.0004% of the sub pixels on a 19 XGA 
monitor may be defective. Fur thermore, Philips 
sets even higher quality standards for cer tain 
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 primar y 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 categor y. 
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)
Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel)
 
						

							23
 Note
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 
pix
 els 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: Proximity of Pixel Defects 
Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the same 
type that are near to one another may be more 
noticeable, Philips also specifies tolerances for the 
proximity of pixel defects.
Pixel Defect Tolerances
In order to qualify for repair or replacement due 
to pixel defects during the warranty period, a TFT 
LCD panel in a Philips flat panel monitor must 
have pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding the 
tolerances listed in the following tables.
