that the PC is connected. 
 When horizontal synchronous signals seem irregular in RGB mode, check PC power saving mode or cable 
connections. 
 The display settings table complies to the IBM/VESA standards, and based on the analog input. 
 The DVI support mode is regarded as same to the PC support mode.

6. PIXEL DEFECT POLICY 
 
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of the industrys most advanced 
manufacturing processes and practice stringent quality control. However, pixel or sub-pixel defects on the PDP 
/ TFT panels used in Plasma- & LCD- displays are sometimes unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee 
that all panels will be free from pixel defects, but Philips guarantees that any Plasma- & LCD- displays with an 
unacceptable number of defects will be repaired during the warranty period in line with your local guarantee 
conditions. 
This notice explains the different types of pixel defects and defines the acceptable defect level for the 
BDL5571V LCD screen. In order to qualify for repair under warranty, the number of pixel defects must exceed 
a certain level which is given in the reference table. If the LCD screen is within specification a warranty 
exchange / claim back will be refused. Additionally, because some types or combinations of pixel defects are 
more noticeable than others, Philips sets even higher quality standards for those. 
 
6.1. 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 sub-pixels appear as single pixels of other colors. 
 
 
 
6.2. TYPES OF PIXEL DEFECTS + DOT DEFINITION 
Pixel and sub-pixel defects appear on the screen in different ways. There are three categories of pixel defects 
and several types of sub-pixel defects within each category. 
 
Dot definition = What is a defective Dot? : 
One or more defective, adjacent sub-pixel are defined as one dot. The no. of defective sub-pixels are not 
relevant to define a defective dot. This means that a defective dot can consist of one, two or three defective 
sub-pixels which can be dark or lit. 
 
 
 
 
One dot = One Pixel; consists of three sub-pixels of Red; Green and Blue 
subpixel subpixel subpixel

6.3. BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS 
Bright dot defects appear as pixels or sub-pixels that are always lit or on. These are the examples 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) 
Three adjacent lit sub-pixels (one 
white dot) 
 
 
6.4. DARK DOT DEFECTS 
Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub-pixels that are always dark or off. These are the examples of black 
dot defects: 
   
One dark dot Two adjacent dark dots = 1 pair of 
dark dots 
Two dark dots, specifications 
defines the minimum distance 
between dark dots 
 
 
6.5. PROXIMITY OF PIXEL DEFECTS 
Because pixel and sub-pixels defects of the same type that are nearby one another may be more noticeable, 
Philips also specifies tolerances for the proximity of pixel defects. In the table below you can find specifications 
about: 
 Allowed amount of adjacent dark dots = (adjacent dark dots =1 pair of dark dots) 
 Minimum distance between dark dots 
 Total no. of all defective dots 
 
6.6. PIXEL DEFECT TOLERANCES 
In order to qualify for repair due to pixel defects during the warranty period, a PDP / TFT panel in a Philips 
Plasma / LCD- display must have pixel or sub-pixel defects exceeding the tolerances listed in the following 
table. 
BRIGHT DOT EFFECT  ACCEPTABLE LEVEL  
MODEL  BDL5571V  
1 lit sub pixel  2  
BLACK DOT EFFECT  ACCEPTABLE LEVEL  
1 dark sub pixel  10 
TOTAL DOT DEFECTS OF ALL TYPES  12 
Note: * 1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect

7. CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING 
 
7.1. CLEANING 
 
Cautions When Using the Display 
 Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of 
the display. Top of display is usually very hot due to the high temperature 
of exhaust air being released through the ventilation holes. Burns or 
personal injuries may occur if any body parts are brought too close. 
Placing any object near the top of the display could also result in heat 
related damages to the object as well as the display itself. 
 Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the display. Moving the 
display with its cables attached may damage the cables and thus case fire 
or electric shock danger. 
 Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution 
before carrying out any type of cleaning or maintenance procedure. 
 
Front Panel Cleaning Instructions 
 The front of the display has been specially treated. Wipe the surface 
gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth. 
 If the surface becomes dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a mild detergent 
solution. Wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Wipe the surface of the 
display to remove dirt. Then use a dry cloth of the same type to dry. 
 Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingers or hard objects of 
any kind. 
 Do not use volatile substances such as insert sprays, solvents and 
thinners. 
 
Cabinet Cleaning Instructions 
 If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth. 
 If the cabinet is extremely dirty, soak a lint-free cloth in a mild detergent 
solution. Wring the cloth to remove as much moisture as possible. Wipe 
the cabinet. Use another dry cloth to wipe over until the surface is dry. 
 Do not allow any water or detergent to come into contact with the surface 
of the display. If water or moisture gets inside the unit, operating problems, 
electrical and shock hazards may result. 
 Do not scratch or hit the cabinet with fingers or hard objects of any kind. 
 Do not use volatile substances such as insert sprays, solvents and 
thinners on the cabinet. 
 Do not place anything made from rubber or PVC near the cabinet for any 
extended periods of time.

Some picture elements do 
not light up 
Some pixels of the display may not turn on. This monitor is manufactured using an 
extremely high level of precision technology: 
however, sometimes some pixels of the monitor 
may not display. This is not a malfunction. 
After-Images can still be 
seen on the monitor after 
the monitor is powered off. 
(Examples of still pictures 
include logos, video 
games, computer images, 
and images displayed in 
4:3 normal mode) 
A still picture is displayed for an over 
extended period of time 
Do not allow a still image to be displayed for an 
extended period of time as this can cause a 
permanent after-image to remain on the 
monitor.
