The equipment should draw power from a socket 
with an attached protection circuit (a three-
prong socket). All equipment that works together 
(computer, monitor, printer, and so on) should 
have the same power supply source.
The phasing conductor of the rooms electrical 
installation should have a reser ve shor t-circuit 
protection device in the form of a fuse with a 
nominal value no larger than 16 amperes (A).
To completely switch off the equipment, the 
power supply cable must be removed from the

7  Customer care and warranty
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 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. 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)

Policy

7. Customer care and warranty
 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 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.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 monitor panel in a Philips flat panel monitor 
must have pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding the 
tolerances listed in the following tables.
BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 lit subpixel 3
2 adjacent lit subpixels 1
3 adjacent lit subpixels (one white pixel) 0
Distance between two bright dot defects* >15mm
Total bright dot defects of all types 3
BLACK DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 dark subpixel 5 or fewer
2 adjacent dark subpixels 2 or fewer
3 adjacent dark subpixels 0
Distance between two black dot defects* >15mm
Total black dot defects of all types 5 or fewer
TOTAL DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
Total bright or black dot defects of all types 5 or fewer
 Note 
1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect
This monitor is ISO9241-307 compliant. (ISO9241-307: Ergonomic requirement , analysis and 
compliance test methods for electronic visual displays)
