• If a vertical and horizontal frequency-select mode exists, select 60Hz (vertical) and 31.5KHz (horizontal). In some 
cases, abnormal signals (such as stripes) might appear on the screen when the PC power is turned off (or if the PC is 
disconnected). If this happens, press the INPUT button to enter the video mode. Also, make sure that the PC is 
connected.
• When horizontal synchronous signals seem irregular in RGB mode, check PC power saving mode or cable connections.
• The display settings table complies to the IBM/VESA standards, and based on the analog input.

6.    PIXEL DEFECT POLICY
We strive to deliver the highest quality products and use some of the industrys most advanced manufacturing processes 
whilst practicing stringent quality control. However, pixel or sub-pixel defects on the PDP / TFT panels used in Plasma- & 
LCD- displays are sometimes unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defects, 
but Philips guarantees that any Plasma- & LCD- displays with an unacceptable number of defects will be repaired during 
the warranty period in line with your local guarantee conditions. 
This notice explains the different types of pixel defects and defines the acceptable defect level for the BDL4230E LCD 
screen. In order to qualify for repair under warranty, the number of pixel defects must exceed a certain level as shown in 
the reference table. If the LCD screen is within specification a warranty exchange / claim back will be refused. 
Additionally, because some types or combinations of pixel defects are more noticeable than others, Philips sets even 
higher quality standards for those.
6.1.    PIXELS AND SUB-PIXELS
A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three sub-pixels in the primary 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.
6.2.    TYPES OF PIXEL DEFECTS + DOT DEFINITION 
Pixel and sub-pixel defects appear on the screen in different ways. There are three categories of pixel defects and several 
types of sub-pixel defects within each category.
Dot definition = What is a defective Dot?
One or more defective, adjacent sub-pixel is defined as one dot. The number of defective sub-pixels is not relevant to 
define a defective dot. This means that a defective dot can consist of one, two or three defective sub-pixels which can be 
dark or lit.
subpixel subpixelsubpixel
pixel
One dot = One Pixel; consists of three sub-pixels of Red; Green and Blue

RETURN TO THE CONTENTS
6.3.    BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS
Bright dot defects appear as pixels or sub-pixels that are always lit or on. These are the examples of bright dot defects:
6.4.    DARK DOT DEFECTS
Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub-pixels that are always dark or off. These are the examples of black dot 
defects:
6.5.    PROXIMITY OF PIXEL DEFECTS
Because pixel and sub-pixels defects of the same type that are nearby one another may be more noticeable, Philips also 
specifies tolerances for the proximity of pixel defects. In the table below you can find specifications about:
• Allowed amount of adjacent dark dots = (adjacent dark dots =1 pair of dark dots)
• Minimum distance between dark dots
• Total no. of all defective dots
6.6.    PIXEL DEFECT TOLERANCES
In order to qualify for repair due to pixel defects during the warranty period, a PDP / TFT panel in a Philips Plasma / LCD 
display must have pixel or sub-pixel defects exceeding the tolerances listed in the following table. 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 dot) 
One dark dot Two adjacent dark dots = 1 pair of 
dark dotsTwo dark dots, specifications define 
the minimum distance between dark 
dots
BRIGHT DOT EFFECTACCEPTABLE LEVEL
MODEL BDL6531E
1 lit sub pixel 1
BLACK DOT EFFECTACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 dark sub pixel 10
TOTAL DOT DEFECTS OF ALL TYPES10
Note: * 1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect

7.    CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING
7.1.    CLEANING
Caution When Using the Display
• Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the 
display. The top of the display is usually  very hot due to the high temperature of 
air being expelled through the ventilation  holes. Burns or personal injuries may 
occur if any body parts are brought too  close. Placing any object near the top 
of the display could also  result in heat related damage to the object as well as 
the display itself.
• Be sure to disconnect al l cables before moving the  display. Moving the display 
with its cables attached may damage the ca bles and thus cause fire or electric 
shock.
• Disconnect the power plug from the wall  outlet as a safety precaution before 
carrying out any type of cleani ng or maintenance procedure. 
Front Panel Cleaning Instructions
• The front of the display has been spec ially treated. Wipe the surface gently 
using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth. 
• If the surface becomes dirty, soak a so ft, lint-free cloth in a mild detergent 
solution. Wring the cloth to remove ex cess liquid. Wipe the surface of the 
display to remove dirt. Then use a  dry cloth of the same type to dry.
• Do not scratch or hit the  surface of the panel with fingers or hard objects of 
any kind.
• Do not use volatile substances such  as sprays, solvents and thinners.
Cabinet Cleaning Instructions
• If the cabinet becomes dirty,  wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
• If the cabinet is extremely dirty, soak  a lint-free cloth in a mild detergent 
solution. Wring the cloth to remove as  much moisture as possible. Wipe the 
cabinet. Use another dry cloth to wip e over until the surface is dry. 
• Do not allow any water or detergent to  come into contact with the surface of 
the display. If water or moisture gets  inside the unit, operating problems, or 
electrical and shock  hazards may result.
• Do not scratch or hit th e cabinet with fingers or hard objects of any kind.
• Do not use volatile substances such as  sprays, solvents and thinners on the 
cabinet.
• Do not place anything made from r ubber or PVC near the cabinet for any 
extended periods of time.

(Examples of still pictures 
include logos, video games, 
computer images, and 
images displayed in 4:3 
normal mode) A still picture is displayed for an over 
extended period of timeDo not allow a still image to be displayed for 
an extended period of time as this can cause a 
permanent after-image to remain on the 
display.
