Plasma Display characteristics
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 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 1,2 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
mabove
higher altitude, the picture becomes unstable and the picture performance is deteriorating. Bringing the set below 2000 m 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 (640x480, 640x400, 640x350, MAC II, SVGA, XGA).
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.
