Ambient temperature
Do not hang up the monitor above a
central heating or other heating sources.
Care of the screen
Clean the anti-reflex coated flat glass
screen with a slightly damp soft cloth. Do
not use abrasives solvents as it can
damage the glass surface of the screen.
Plasma Display characteristics
Caution: A video source (such as a video
game, DVD, or video information channel)
which shows a constant non-moving
pattern on the monitor screen, can cause
damage to the screen.When your Flat-
Monitor is continuously used with such a
source, the pattern of the non-moving
portion of the game (DVD, etc.) could
leave an image permanently on the screen.
When not in use, turn the video source
OFF
.
Regularly alternate the use of such video
sources with normal viewing.
When switching over to another picture
after having displayed the same still picture
for a long time (many hours), it may
happen that some parts from the previous
picture will remain on screen due to a
kind of memory effect.This ghost picture
will disappear after some time.To avoid
this effect change the pictures regularly or
for PC use you can turn on a screen saver
in your computer.
Philips has built in an automatic shift of
the picture in video mode every 5 minutes
to avoid this effect and to prolong the life
of the screen.
Very incidentally and after a longer period
of unuse (approx. 1 year) the screen may
display some strange colour deficiencies.
This is quite normal for plasma displays
and these effects will disappear after the
set has been turned on for some time.
A plasma display consists of more than 3.1
Million Colour pixels. It is within industry
standards that very few pixels (< 0.001%)
may be defective, even for a new set.
There is however no reason to doubt
about the quality of the set.
The plasma display technology operates
with rare gases which are being influenced
by air pressure.
Up to an altitude of 2000 m / 6562 ft
above sea-level (local air pressure equal or
above 800 hPa), the display is functioning
fine. Operating the set at a higher altitude
(lower air pressure), the picture becomes
unstable and the picture performance is
deteriorating.The plasma display might
also produce a humming sound. Bringing
the set below 2000 m / 6562 ft (local air
pressure equal or above 800 hPa) it works
fine again.Transportation has no influence.
Control of peripheral equipment
The infrared radiation of the screen may
influence the reception sensitivity of other
peripherals. Solution: replace the batteries
of the remote control or change position
of other equipment. E.g. keep away a
wireless headphone from within a radius
of 1,5 m.
No stable or not synchronised VGA
picture
Check if you have selected the correct
display mode in your PC. See p. 2,
Computer display modes.
No picture
Are the supplied cables connected
properly? (The power cable to the display,
the VGA cables,...)
Is your PC switched on?
Do you see a black screen and the
indicator in front of the monitor lights up
green, this means that the display mode is
not supported.
Switch your VGA source to a correct
mode.
Remote control
If your monitor no longer responds to the
remote control, the batteries may be
exhausted.
If your problem is not solved:
Switch your monitor off and then on
again.
Never attempt to repair a defective
monitor yourself.
Check with your dealer or call a video
technician.
Transport
Keep the original packaging to transport the
monitor if needed.
