Monitor displays AGING mode

[sissi16]

When I switch on my computer, the monitor displays (in red letters against a white background) "Aging Mode".
Monitor details:
Philips
Model ID 190S8FB/00
Serial number AU3A0818011543.
How can I turn this aging mode off?

Welcome to the forums

It looks like you need to enter "Factory Mode" and then manually disable Aging mode from within there.

To enter factory mode:

• Turn off monitor
• [Push "AUTO" & "MENU" buttons at the same time and hold them] + [Press "power" button until comes out "Windows screen" ] => then release all buttons
  
• Press "MENU" button, wait for the OSD menu

To disable aging mode:

• Access Factory Mode then enter Factory Menu.
• By pressing LEFT and RIGHT key to Burning Icon. Press MENU then press LEFT and RIGHT key to turn off Aging Mode.
• Disconnect interface cable between Monitor and PC.
  
• Wait a few seconds for coloured bars to appear
• Re-connect cable

I got these instructions from the service manual, located here:
