Usage Features
Setting up the monitor:
The monitor is easy to assemble, requiring the user to attach the base stand to the base column, and then slide the base column onto the monitor. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the screen during installation. The monitor supports VESA mounting (100 x 100 mm) for alternative installation options, such as wall mounts.
Connecting to a PC:
The monitor offers multiple input options including HDMI, DVI, and VGA. Users connect the power cord, video cable, and optionally an audio cable to the monitor and their computer.
Operating the monitor:
The monitor features on-screen display (OSD) controls, typically managed by buttons on the rear side of the display. These controls allow users to:
- Power on/off the monitor.
- Access and confirm OSD adjustments.
- Adjust brightness and contrast levels.
- Change the signal input source.
- Adjust OSD menu settings.
- Select SmartImage modes (EasyRead, Office, Photo, Movie, Game, Economy, LowBlue Mode, Off) for optimized viewing experiences.
- Adjust various picture settings like color temperature, gamma, and sharpness.
- Manage audio settings.
- Set OSD language and timeout.
- Perform setup functions like H. Position, V. Position, Clock, Phase, and Resolution Notification.
Image Optimization:
- SmartImage: This feature provides presets that dynamically optimize display for different types of content, adjusting brightness, contrast, color, and sharpness in real-time. Available modes include EasyRead (for text-based applications, enhancing readability and reducing eye strain), Office, Photo, Movie, Game, Economy, and LowBlue Mode.
- SmartContrast: This technology dynamically analyzes displayed content and automatically optimizes the monitor's contrast ratio for maximum visual clarity and viewing enjoyment, especially in dark backgrounds.
Adaptive Sync:
This feature ensures a smooth, tear-free gaming experience by synchronizing the monitor's refresh rate with the GPU's frame rate. It eliminates screen tearing and reduces stuttering, providing a more fluid visual experience. Compatible with AMD Radeon R9 290/300 Series & R7 260 Series, AMD Radeon R9 Fury X, and various other AMD Radeon and A-Series Desktop and Mobility APUs.
Designs to prevent computer vision syndrome (CVS):
Philips monitors are designed with user well-being in mind. Recommendations for preventing CVS include:
- Appropriate environment lighting: Adjusting the environment lighting similar to that of your screen brightness, avoiding fluorescent lighting, and surfaces that don't reflect too much light.
- Adjusting brightness and contrast: Setting appropriate levels for comfortable viewing.
- Good working habits: Taking short breaks (e.g., 5-10 minutes every 50-60 minutes), looking at something varying distances away, gently closing and rolling your eyes, conscious blinking, gently stretching your neck, and gently tilting your head forward, backward, and side for pain relief.
- Flicker-free technology: Regulates brightness and reduces flicker for more comfortable viewing.
- LowBlue Mode: Reduces harmful shortwave blue light to minimize eye strain.
- EasyRead Mode: Offers a paper-like reading experience, giving a more comfortable viewing experience while dealing with long documents on the screen.
Maintenance Features
Safety precautions and maintenance:
- Ventilation: Do not block ventilation holes.
- Power connection: Ensure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible. Disconnect power if turning off the monitor for 6 seconds or more. Use approved power cord.
- Power supply: Operate under the specified power supply.
- Cable protection: Protect cables from damage.
- Impact protection: Avoid severe vibration or high impact conditions.
- Panel care: To avoid potential damage, do not tilt the monitor downward by more than -5 degrees.
- Cleaning: Clean the display with a soft, clean, damp cloth. Avoid using substances like alcohol, ammonia-based liquids, or abrasive cleaners. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the screen.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place.
- Burn-in/Ghost image: Avoid displaying static images for long periods to prevent "burn-in" or "ghost imaging." The monitor includes a screen saver program to help prevent this.
