4. Power Sensor
4. Power Sensor™
PowerSensor is a unique environmentally friendly technology from Philips which enables user to save
up to 80% of power consumption. In line with Philip’s Sense and Simplicity drive, this user friendly
technology works for you right out of the box without any hardware or software installation, and without
any user intervention in the default mode.
How does it work?
‡ꢀ PowerSensor works on principle of transmission and reception of harmless “infrared” signals in
order to detect user-presence.
‡ꢀ When the user is in front of the monitor the monitor operates normally, at the predetermined
settings that the user has set- i.e. Brightness, contrast, color, etc.
‡ꢀ Assuming that the monitor was set to 100% of brightness for exam-
ple, when the user leaves his seat and is no longer in front of the moni-
tor, the monitor automatically reduces the power consumption upto 80%.
Setting
Default settings
At its default setting, (Setting 3), PowerSensor is designed to detect the presence of the user located
between 30 and 100 cm (12 and 40 inches) from the display and within five degrees left or right of
the monitor.
Custom settings
‡ꢀ If you prefer to be in a position outside the perimeters listed above, choose a higher strength
signal for optimal detection efficiency: The higher the setting, the stronger the detection signal.
For maximum PowerSensor efficiency and proper detection, please position yourself directly in
front of your monitor.
‡ꢀ If you choose to position yourself more than 100 cm or 40 inches from the monitor use the maxi-
mum detection signal for distances up to 120cm or 47 inches. (setting 4)
‡ꢀ Since some dark colored clothing tends to absorb infrared signals even when the user is within
100 cm or 40 inches of the display, step up signal strength when wearing black or other darkgarb.
‡ꢀ You can return to the default mode at any time (setting 3)

How to adjust settings
If PowerSensor is not operating correctly inside or outside the default range, here’s how to fine-tune
detection:
‡ꢀ Press the PowerSensor hot key
‡ꢀ You will find the default position ‘3’ on the adjustment bar.
‡ꢀ Adjust the PowerSensor detection adjustment to Setting 4 and press OK.
‡ꢀ Test the new setup to see if PowerSensor properly detects you in your current position.
‡ꢀ PowerSensor function is designed to work in Landscape mode (horizontal position) only. After
PowerSensor turn on, it will automatically turn Off if the monitor is used in Portrait mode (90
degree/ vertical position); it will automatically turn ON if monitor is returned to its default
Landscape position.
Note
A manually selected PowerSensor mode will remain operational unless and until it is readjusted or the
default mode is recalled. If you find that the PowerSensor is excessively sensitive to nearby motion for
some reason, please adjust to a lower signal strength.

Types of Pixel Defects
Pixel and sub pixel defects appear on the screen
in different ways.There are two categories of
pixel defects and several types of sub pixel
defects within each category.
8.1 Philips’ Flat Panel Monitors Pixel
Defect Policy
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality
products.We use some of the industry's most
advanced manufacturing processes and practice
stringent quality control. However, pixel or
sub pixel defects on theTFT Monitor panels
used in flat panel monitors are sometimes
unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee
that all panels will be free from pixel defects,
but Philips guarantees that any monitor with an
unacceptable number of defects will be repaired
or replaced under warranty.This notice explains
the different types of pixel defects and defines
acceptable defect levels for each type. In order
to qualify for repair or replacement under
warranty, the number of pixel defects on aTFT
Monitor panel must exceed these acceptable
levels. For example, no more than 0.0004% of
the sub pixels on a monitor may be defective.
Furthermore, Philips sets even higher quality
standards for certain types or combinations
of pixel defects that are more noticeable than
others.This policy is valid worldwide.
Bright Dot Defects
Bright dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels
that are always lit or '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 pixel.
Two adjacent lit sub pixels:
-
-
Red + Blue = Purple
Red + Green =Yellow
-
Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)
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
Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel).

Note
Proximity of Pixel Defects
A red or blue bright dot must be more

Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the
same type that are near to one another may be
more noticeable, Philips also specifies tolerances
for the proximity of pixel defects.
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.
Pixel DefectTolerances
In order to qualify for repair or replacement
due to pixel defects during the warranty period,
aTFT Monitor panel in a Philips flat panel
monitor must have pixel or sub pixel defects
exceeding the tolerances listed in the following
tables.
