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.
Philips has built in an automatic shift of
the picture in video mode every 5 minutes
to decrease 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 color 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 color 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 6562 ft above sea-
level, the display is functioning fine.
Operating the set at a higher altitude, the
picture becomes unstable and the picture
performance is deteriorating.After
bringing the set below 6562 ft 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 4.92 ft.
No stable or not synchronized VGA
picture
Check if you have selected the correct
display mode in your PC. See p.4,
Computer display modes.
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 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 TV
technician.
Transport
Keep the original packaging to transport the
monitor if needed.
