Usage Features
Setting up the display:
- Installation: The display comes with a base that needs to be attached. The process involves placing the display face down, attaching the neck to the VESA mount area, tightening assembly screws, and securing the base to the stand.
- Connecting to PC: Instructions are provided for connecting the power cord, signal cable (VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, MHL-HDMI), and plugging into an outlet.
- Control Buttons: The display features buttons for power ON/OFF, OSD menu access, OSD adjustment, a user preference key, MultiView (PIP/PBP/Swap/Off), return to previous OSD level, and SmartImage hotkey.
- Customizable "USER" key: Users can assign their favorite function (Input, Audio Source, or Volume) to the "USER" hotkey for quick access.
- Independent audio playback (MultiView): When using MultiView, the display allows for independent audio playback from the sub-source, meaning the audio source can be different from the main display source.
- On-Screen Display (OSD): A user-friendly OSD window allows direct adjustment of display performance and functions. The manual provides a detailed overview of the OSD menu structure.
- Resolution Notification: The display is optimized for 2560 x 1440 @ 60 Hz. An alert is displayed if a different resolution is used, which can be switched off in the OSD.
- Physical Functionality: The display supports tilt (-5° to +20°), swivel (-170° to +170°), height adjustment (180mm), and pivot (90°).
Image Optimization:
- SmartImage: This exclusive Philips technology offers presets (Office, Photo, Movie, Game, Economy, SmartUniformity, Off) that dynamically adjust brightness, contrast, color, and sharpness in real-time to optimize the display for different content types.
- Office: Enhances text and dampens brightness for readability and reduced eye strain.
- Photo: Combines color saturation, dynamic contrast, and sharpness for vibrant and clear images.
- Movie: Ramps up luminance, deepens color saturation, dynamic contrast, and sharpness for detailed video display.
- Game: Optimizes response time, reduces jagged edges, and enhances contrast for bright and dark scenes.
- Economy: Reduces brightness and contrast for lower power consumption.
- SmartUniformity: Adjusts brightness and color across the screen for more consistent and true images.
- SmartContrast: This unique technology dynamically analyzes displayed content and automatically optimizes the display's contrast ratio for maximum visual clarity and viewing enjoyment. It provides crisp, bright images or dimming backlight for clear display of images on dark backgrounds, while also reducing power consumption.
MultiView:
- Functionality: Enables active dual connect and view, allowing simultaneous display of content from multiple devices (e.g., PC and Notebook) side-by-side.
- Modes: Supports Picture in Picture (PIP) and Picture by Picture (PBP) modes.
- Input Sources: Allows selection of VGA, DVI, MHL-HDMI, and DisplayPort as sub-display sources.
- PIP Size and Position: Offers three sub-window sizes (Small, Middle, Large) and two positions (Top-Right, Bottom-Right) for PIP mode.
- Swap Function: Allows swapping the main and sub-picture sources.
- MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link):
- Purpose: Connects MHL-certified mobile phones and other portable devices to the display for viewing HD videos and other content with digital sound.
- Charging: Simultaneously charges the mobile device.
- Connection: Requires an optional MHL cable connected to the mini USB port on the mobile device and the MHL-HDMI port on the display.
Maintenance Features
