How does Philips Auto Calibrate feature benefit me?
With Auto Calibrate, it takes a monitor's luminance 33 percent longer to deteriorate to the 50
percent level that marks the end of a display device's useful life. Thanks to Auto Calibrate, a
monitor with a normal life of 10,000 hours, for example, would last for 13,300 hours, a full one
third longer.

How does Auto Calibrate work?
During the calibration process, different predefined black and white images are displayed on
thescreen. The beam currents of the red, green and blue cannon are accurately measured and
compared to the original values stored in the monitor. By readjusting gain values of the
individual cannons, deviation is reduced to zero. Default values are stored during production. If
the user sets a new color temperature, this new value is saved as the new default value.
24.
When should calibration be performed?
The calibration process takes less than six seconds. During this period, different specific images
are displayed. After the process is finalized, the original image is redisplayed. Constant re-
calibration is not required. Calibration should be performed after the monitor is warmed up. Auto
Calibration takes place when a monitor receives a signal indicating an imminent switch to its
sleep mode/stand-by mode.
