Tips
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 TV information channel)
which shows a constant non-moving
pattern on the TV screen, can cause
damage to the screen.When your Flat-TV
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 TV 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.
For video signals, Philips has built in an
automatic shift of the picture 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 a high number
of 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 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
then also produce a humming sound. After
bringing the set below 2000 m (local air
pressure equal or above 800 hPa) it works
fine again.Transportation has no influence.
Control of peripheral equipment
The infrared signals 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
VGA mode in your PC.
No picture or no sound
Are the supplied cables connected
properly? (The power cable to the display,
the VGA cables, the audio cables,...)
Is your PC or receiver box switched on?
Do you see a black screen and the
indicator on 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 TV
technician.
Transport
Keep the original packaging to transport the
monitor if needed.
End of life directives
Philips is paying a lot of attention to
produce environmentally-friendly in green
focal areas.Your new monitor contains
materials which can be recycled and
reused.
At the end of its life specialised companies
can dismantle the discarded monitor to
concentrate the reusable materials and to
minimise the amount of materials to be
disposed of.
Please ensure you dispose of your old
monitor according to local regulations.
How to dispose of batteries ?
The batteries supplied do not contain the
heavy metals mercury and cadmium.
Nevertheless in many countries batteries
may not be disposed of with your
household waste. Please ensure you dispose
of batteries according to local regulations.
