Monitor message says "Theft Disable

The theft deterrence option is available from the SmartControl software that runs on a Windows PC connected to the 276E monitor. See https://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/276E8VJSB_27/4k-ultra-hd-lcd-monitor/support . Scroll down to the Software & drivers section. Then unzip the file to install it.

Inside the software, the theft deterrence item is under the Options section of the menu. Since a PIN is needed to enable or disable the "feature". It seems unlikely to be enabled accidentally. Did someone else use the monitor for a while? Are you using a different computer with the Philips 276E?

I hope this helps.

Push the menu button on the monitor itself, near the power button.

Im going to presume that you are not using the computer that the monitor came with.

You have two options.

1. access the utility and disable the theft deterrent by using the PIN that was entered when it was first accessed.

2. hook it up to the original computer that it was mated to and see if you can disable the "lock", but I believe you will still need the PIN.

you can find more info at the link below

You need to install EZTUNE from Gateway, but you need to go here first:
Portrait Displays' Theft Deterrence minimizes theft or unauthorized relocation of your display. Theft Deterrence does not prevent the display from being stolen, but hinders the operation of the display once it is removed from the 'Theft Deterrence enabled' host computer.

This site is provided for you to securely store your PIN in the event you should need to retrieve it at some point in the future.

Please select from the following options.

you must trub off ur monitor power button on the monitor...
next step is on monitor u can see menu button we must press it and now we should press power button


now ur moniior anti theft mode will be disable

first power off u r monitor
then press and hold menu button on the monitor then press power button on monitor

If you ever have this problem but cannot get to the 'extras' button, leave the computer on that (hopefully) already has the eztune software installed, pull the power on the monitor (the cord, not just press the power button) and then plug it back it...it should unlock automatically. It ticks me off that I just got off the phone with gateway tech support and they wouldnt tell me that because my monitor is 'out of warranty'...purchased 4/8/08 and problem today 7/15/09...bums. Anyway, they offered to fix for a fee. I got it fixed.

If L90D you need a PIN number to unlock it.
Connect to your original computer and run Plug-ins - Theft deterrence to enter or reset PIN - or go to web site via software - see below

Under the ‘Plug-ins’ menu is the ‘Theft Deterrence’ option – a more accurate term than the ‘Anti-Theft’ sticker on the monitor itself. Why? Well anyone can physically steal this monitor from me. There is no Bond-like lethal gadget that would bring certain death to a would be thief. Rather, the theft deterrent is a PIN-based procedure that hinders the operation of the display once it has been removed from the host computer. Briefly, you register and store a PIN to a secure web site, then set a countdown timer. If the power and display cables have been removed and the monitor has been attached to a different computer, the timer counts down. If the correct PIN is not entered using ImageTune, the monitor will enter theft mode and display a large warning message. It doesn’t prevent the monitor from being swiped, but at least there's some satisfaction in knowing the thief can’t use it.

software called ImageTune that replaces the usual on-screen display (OSD) tools, arrives on an included CD. With it, you can adjust basic monitor settings such as brightness and contrast with a mouse instead of with the small, squishy membrane buttons under the bezel.
