Information for UK only
  WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE 
EARTHED.
Important: 
This apparatus is supplied with an approved 
moulded 13A plug. To change a fuse in this type 
of plug proceed as follows: 
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse. 
2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS 1362 5A,A.
S.T.A. or BSI approved type. 
3. Refit the fuse cover. 
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket 
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate 3-
pin plug fitted in its place. 
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should 
have a value of 5A. If a plug without a fuse is 
used, the fuse at the distribution board should 
not be greater than 5A. 
Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to 
avoid a possible shock hazard should it be 
inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

Philips LCD Panel Pixel Defect Policy
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of \
the industrys most advanced 
manufacturing processes and practise stringent quality control. However,\
 pixel or sub pixel defects 
on the TFT LCD panels used in flat panel monitors are sometimes unavoida\
ble. No manufacturer 
can guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defects, but Phili\
ps guarantees that any monitor 
with an unacceptable number of defects will be repaired or replaced unde\
r warranty. This notice 
explains the different types of pixel defects and defines acceptable def\
ect 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 0.0\
004% of the sub pixels 
on a 15 XGA monitor may be defective. Furthermore, Philips sets even hi\
gher 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 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 
subpixels together appear as a single white pixel. When all are dark, th\
e three colored sub pixels 
together appear as a single black pixel. Other combinations of lit and d\
ark sub pixels appear as 
single pixels of other colors.

Philips Pixel Defect Policy
 
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:
