Glossary

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

A Autoscan

A microprocessor-based feature of Philips Brilliance monitors is able to detect automatically horizontal and vertical frequencies of input signals with those of the installed video card. An autoscan monitor can thus operate with a wide range of video cards. MultiSync, a registered trademark of NEC, provides a similar function. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE

B Balanced pincushion

See Geometric distortion

BNC connection

A special construction of connector used in some monitors with higher horizontal scanning frequency. The BNC connection can provide the optimum shielding and matching characteristic impedance of video signal path to ensure the best video performance.
file:///E|/Temp/temp/english/107E/glossary/glossary.htm (1 of 18) [6/12/2000 4:02:20 PM]

C CE Mark

CE mark is displayed on products per EMC and LV ( low Voltage Device ) directives in compliance with European Community safety, EMI and EMS requirements and is compulsory on products for sale in the European Community.

Color temperature

A way of describing the color of a radiating source in terms of the temperature (in degrees Kelvin) of a black body radiating with the same dominant frequency as the source. Most Philips monitors offer the possibility of setting the color temperature to any desired value.

Self-test function

A monitor equipped with hardware or software to automatically detect cable connection status.
Deviation of a reproduced picture from its intended shape. The following types of distortion are most common:
file:///E|/Temp/temp/english/107E/glossary/glossary.htm (13 of 18) [6/12/2000 4:02:20 PM]
SOG (Synchronization On Green)
A properly functioning color monitor requires five kinds of signals: horizontal sync pulse, vertical sync pulse, red color signal, green color signal and blue color signal. Signals from a PC are transmitted to a monitor using one of three methods: 1. Separate sync: Horizontal and Vertical sync signals transmitted separately 2. Composite sync: Horizontal and vertical sync pulses mixed into a single signal train. 3. SOG: Horizontal and vertical sync pulses mixed, then combined with the green color signal.

See rotation function.

Trapezoid distortion
See Geometrical distortion.

TTL signal

A TTL (Transistor-transistor-logic) signal is a digital signal level for controlling the screen colors. With TTL driving, the red, green and blue signals can only be switched on or off or provided with an intensity signal. A TTL-driven monitor can thus display a maximum of 64 colors. Video standards such as MDA, CGA and EGA are based on TTL level. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE
U USB or Universal Serial Bus
A smart plug for PC peripherals. USB automatically determines resources (like driver software and bus bandwidth) required by peripherals. USB makes necessary resources available without user intervention. q USB eliminates "case angst" -- the fear of removing the computer case to install add-on peripherals. And USB also eliminates adjustment of complicated IRQ settings when installing new peripherals.
USB does away with "port gridlock." Without USB, PCs are normally limited to one printer, two Com port devices (usually a mouse and modem), one Enhanced Parallel Port add-on (scanner or video camera, for example) and a joystick. More and more peripherals for multimedia computers arrive on the market every day. With USB, up to 127 devices can run simultaneously on a computer. USB permits "hot plug-in." There's no need to shut down, plug in, reboot and run set-up to install peripherals. And no need to go through the reverse process to unplug a device.

In short, USB transforms today's "Plug-and-Pray" into true Plug-and-Play! Hub A Universal Serial Bus device that provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus. Hubs are a key element in the plug-and-play architecture of USB. The Figure shows a typical hub. Hubs serve to simplify USB connectivity from the user's perspective and provide robustness at low cost and complexity. Hubs are wiring concentrators and enable the multiple attachment characteristics of USB. Attachment points are referred to as ports. Each hub converts a single attachment point into multiple attachment points. The architecture supports concatenation of multiple hubs. The upstream port of a hub connects the hub towards the host. Each of the other downstream ports of a hub allows connection to another hub or function. Hubs can detect, attach and detach at each downstream port and enable the distribution of power to downstream devices. Each downstream port can be individually enabled and configured at either full or low speed. The hub isolates low speed ports from full speed
file:///E|/Temp/temp/english/107E/glossary/glossary.htm (15 of 18) [6/12/2000 4:02:20 PM]
signaling. A hub consists of two portions: the Hub Controller and Hub Repeater. The repeater is a protocol-controlled switch between the upstream port and downstream ports. It also has hardware support for reset and suspend/resume signaling. The controller provides the interface registers to allow communication to/from the host. Hub specific status and control commands permit the host to configure a hub and to monitor and control its ports. Device A logical or physical entity that performs a function. The actual entity described depends on the context of the reference. At the lowest level, device may refer to a single hardware component, as in a memory device. At a higher level, it may refer to a collection of hardware components that perform a particular function, such as a Universal Serial Bus interface device. At an even higher level, device may refer to the function performed by an entity attached to the Universal Serial Bus; for example, a data/FAX modem device. Devices may be physical, electrical, addressable, and logical.
Downstream The direction of data flow from the host or away from the host. A downstream port is the port on a hub electrically farthest from the host that generates downstream data traffic from the hub. Downstream ports receive upstream data traffic. Upstream The direction of data flow towards the host. An upstream port is the port on a device electrically closest to the host that generates upstream data traffic from the hub. Upstream ports receive downstream data traffic.

UPS (Universal Power Supply)
The monitor with UPS feature can work in different countries with various mains voltage. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE

V Vertical dot pitch

Vertical scanning frequency
Expressed in Hz, this is the number of fields written to the screen every second in interlaced mode. In non-interlaced mode vertical scanning frequency is the number of frames (complete pictures) written to the screen every second (also known as refresh rate).

Vertical sync pulses

A train of square shaped waveforms that define the start of a new frame.
Video Electronic Standards Association, a consortium of manufacturers formed to establish and maintain industry-wide standards for video cards and monitors. VESA was instrumental in the introduction of the Super VGA and Extended VGA video graphics standards (see Video graphics adapters) with a refresh rate of 70 Hz, minimizing flicker and helping to reduce operator eyes fatigue and stress.

Video dot rate

See Dot rate.

Video graphics adapters

A card equipped with a character or graphic generator and video memory, which maps to the screen. A microprocessor scans video memory and translates bit information from the computer into displayable video signals for the monitor. These cards comply with various standards that determine the nature and quality of the display. VGA (Video Graphics Array), introduced in 1987, was the first analog card. It offered still higher resolution than EGA: 640 X 480 pixels for graphics and 720 x 400 pixels for text, and a color palette of 256 colors. VGA could also emulate EGA and CGA. Super VGA, devised by VESA in 1989, offers a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. Extended VGA, introduced by VESA in 1991, offers a top resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (non-interlaced) and a refresh rate slightly higher than IBM's XGA 8514A. High-end, graphics adapters, introduced over the last three years for professional workstations, offer top
file:///E|/Temp/temp/english/107E/glossary/glossary.htm (17 of 18) [6/12/2000 4:02:20 PM]
resolutions from 1280 x 1024 to 1600 x 1280, horizontal line frequencies up to 90 kHz and bandwidths up to 200 MHz.
VIS (Viewable Image Size)
The real screen dimensions that users can see measured diagonally. The VIS of a monitor is always less than the so called screen size of a monitor. For example, the VIS of a 17-inch monitor is only about 16 inches. It depends on the useful screen size of CRT and the opening of a monitor's front cabinet.

USB eliminates "Case angst," the fear of removing the computer case to install circuit board cards - that often require adjustment of complicated IRQ settings -- for add-on peripherals. USB does away with "port gridlock." Without USB, PCs are normally limited to one printer, two Com port devices (usually a mouse and modem), one Enhanced Parallel Port add-on (scanner or video camera, for example) and a joystick. More and more peripherals for multimedia computers come on the market every day. With USB, up to 127 devices can run simultaneously on a computer. USB permits "hot plug-in." No need to shut down, plug in, reboot and run set up to install peripherals. No need to go through the reverse process to unplug a device. Bottom line: USB transforms today's "Plug-and-Pray" into true Plug-and-Play!

What is a USB hub?

Think of USB hub as a extension of USB ports. Normally, the PC provides only one or two USB ports. To connect additional USB devices, you need a USB hub. 4. What is Philips Monitors USB hub solution?
Increasingly, monitors include USB hub functionality. But not all users need or want a USB hub. To give users freedom of choice, Philips provides an optional USB hub (type number PCUH411). The USB hub consists of two parts that are normally connected: one is functional, the other aesthetic. The aesthetic element is a removable cover. With the cover removed, the USB hub can be attached to the base or pedestal of monitor. The attached USB hub can be rotated to any position around the monitor's base. With this innovative Philips solution, your USB hub is always within reach for convenient connection and disconnection of USB peripherals.

What models are Mac compatible?
All listed Philips monitors are Mac compatible. BUT, you may need an adapter to connect the monitor to your Mac system. Please contact your dealer/reseller for details.

What is TCO?

TCO is a Swedish abbreviation for the Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees.

What is MPR?

MPR is a Swedish abbreviation for the Swedish National Board of Measurement and Testing.
What are the differences between MPRII, TCO92, TCO95, TCO99 and TCO'03?
In the general hierarchy of standards, TCO'03/TCO99 is the highest level of certification. Next is TCO95, which is "better" than TCO92, which, in turn, is better than MPRII. Below, we compare the standards in each category. -TCO 92 Phase out: June 30, 2000 -TCO 95 Will be end December 31, 2003 Emissions: MPRII: Set low emission rules for visual displays. TCO92: Imposed more stringent standards than MPRII. TCO95: Further toughened TCO92 rules. TCO99: Delineated even more severe standards and test procedures than TCO95. TCO'03: Same as TCO99 standard + Testing uncertainty.
Safety: MPRII: No requirement. TCO92/95/99/03: All set requirements.

file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17_5/edoc/ENGLISH/FAQ.HTM (2 of 14)7/15/2004 5:05:51 PM
Energy Saving: MPRII: No requirement. TCO92: Standby mode < 30W, Off mode < 8W TCO95: Standby mode < 30W, Off mode < 8W TCO99: Standby mode < 15W, Off mode < 5W TCO'03:Standby mode < 15W, Off mode < 5W
Visual Ergonomics: MPRII: No requirement. TCO92: No requirement. TCO95: Set ergonomic rules including minimum contrast level, flicker and jitter. TCO99: Tightened TCO95 rules. TCO'03: Tighten TCO99 rule for CRT and new requirement of screen color for TFT LCD Monitors.
Ecology: MPRII: No requirement. TCO92: No requirement. TCO95: Set general ecological standards including recycling preparation, environmental policy and environmental certification. TCO99: Further tightened TCO95 norms. TCO'03:Require the recycling information to users.
10. How do I enable the energy saving function?
Go to 'My Computer' and select 'Control Panel' followed by 'Monitor Control.' Select "All default selection' and choose your Philips monitor model from the default driver list. Plug and Play will automatically enable the EPA tick box for you. In DOS or Windows 3.1, you must first make sure your PC supports power saving.
11. What is refresh rate?
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17_5/edoc/ENGLISH/FAQ.HTM (3 of 14)7/15/2004 5:05:51 PM
"Refresh rate" describes the number of times an entire screen is vertically scanned each second. In other words: If a monitor's refresh rate is 85 Hz, its screen is refreshed - or vertically scanned - 85 times per second. A higher the refresh rate means better image stability and less flicker. A high refresh rate helps users who work long hours in front of a monitor avoid eye fatigue and stress. To change the refresh rate, go into "Start/Settings / Control Pannel / Display / Properties / Setting/Advance/Adaptor" Windows settings of the computer, the monitor will automatically adjust itself to the video card.
12. Why does the picture on the screen appear to flicker? A low refresh rate or electrical interference typically causes flickering in the picture. Possible solutions include the following:

q q q q

Verify that the proper drivers are installed for your video card Make sure that all electrical devices (such as mobile phones) are at least 1m from the monitor Place the monitor in another physical location away from electrical interference Adjust the refresh rate to 75hz or higher.
13. How do I adjust my monitor's resolution? Available resolutions are determined by the capabilities of your video card and graphic driver. Under Windows '95, you may select the desired available resolution through the 'Display properties/Settings' menu.

14. How can I adjust the size, position and rotation of my screen?
Depending on the model you own, you can use your CustoMax Software, On Screen Display (OSD) or control knobs located on the monitor.
15. What if I get lost when making monitor adjustments?
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17_5/edoc/ENGLISH/FAQ.HTM (4 of 14)7/15/2004 5:05:51 PM
Simply press OK button then select "Reset to factory settings" to restore all settings.

16. What is LightFrame ?

LightFrame is a Philips technology breakthrough which offers a unique and revolutionary solution for boosting a monitor 's brightness and sharpness. With LightFrameTM, the user experiences TV quality performance for video or photos without deterioration to the monitor 's performance in windows used for other applications.

17. How does LightFrame

LightFrame consists of a software application and an Integrated Circuit (IC) embedded in the monitor. Together, they boost brightness and sharpness in a user defined window or screen area. Unique LightFrameTM technology dramatically improves photo and video display quality.

18. Why is LightFrame

important to me?
With LightFrame , selected Philips monitors deliver TV quality video and photo display while maintaining monitor performance for text-based applications. The result is that movies and other video are brighter and livelier; photos are more vibrant and lifelike.
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17_5/edoc/ENGLISH/FAQ.HTM (5 of 14)7/15/2004 5:05:51 PM
19. Will anyone else have this?
LightFrame was invented, developed and patented by Philips. It is a unique feature that you will find exclusively in Philips monitors.

20. Will LightFrame

shorten the life of a monitor?
No. Extensive testing has confirmed LightFrame
does not adversely affect monitor life. Today's state-of-
the-art Philips monitors employ improved phosphors and are designed for high light output. LightFrame normally highlights photos and videos. Though the peak brightness of the highlighted area is strongly increased, the average brightness - a determining factor for cathode deterioration - is not normally increased. In any case, a special Automatic Beam Limiter (ABL) circuit keeps a monitor 's maximum average brightness within acceptable levels.

Press and hold the OSD menu key for about 10 seconds until picture displays "OSD MAIN MENU UNLOCKED"
36. My screen shows NO SYNC INPUT , how can I get rid of this?
Check the following for possible solutions:
Bent pins on the video cable Make sure the computer is turned on Ensure the VGA Cable is properly connected Ensure the BNC/D-Sub connector on the rear of the monitor is in the correct position, newer models have this option in the On Screen Display under Input Signal Selection. Video card may be not a VESA standard (try the monitor with another computer)
37. Why does my monitor display "Out of Range"? The video card installed in your computer may be too high for the monitor 's specifications. Please contact your computer manufacturer for details on how to lower resolution for your operating system. 38. What is Moire? Why does my monitor have this wavy phenomenon? Moire is a natural effect or phenomenon of CRT that has the appearance of a wavy pattern, which is repetitive and superimposed on the screen as ripple images. These are a few suggestions to help reduce or minimize the effects:
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17_5/edoc/ENGLISH/FAQ.HTM (10 of 14)7/15/2004 5:05:51 PM
Some monitors have a Moire cancellation feature, activate it to the on position or adjust the Moire cancellation function via the OSD on the monitor. Change resolution to the recommended standard for the specific monitor size. Change Window viewing pattern/scheme to a pattern where the Moire is less visible. Change horizontal and vertical size to optimize the reduction of the Moire effect.
39. What is CustoMax? CustoMax is proprietary Philips software that allows user to control parameter (e.g. Size, Color, Geometry) in place of the buttons on the front of the monitor. To install and run the CustoMax software, you must have a USB compatible system and have a USB connection at the rear of your monitor.
40. My monitor appears to be missing one or more colors. How do I correct this?
If the OSD menu is also missing a color, please contact service for details Set color temperature to 9300 color coordination Check the video cable for any bent pins Video card could be defective (try the monitor with another computer).
41. When I degauss my monitor, it makes a loud noise. Is this normal?
Yes, when degaussing your monitor via the OSD, it is normal for the monitor to make a relatively loud noise. Please be aware that many models will not degauss more than once within any given time period (up to 10 minutes). This is due to the unit having a temperature sensitive resistor. While the unit is degaussing, the resistor increases in value with heat and once it reaches a certain temperature, the resistance will rise and prevent voltage from reaching the degaussing coil. This is what stops the degausser, and this device's resistance will decrease as it cools back off, enabling the degauss function to operate again. This is an intentional design and is an industry standard, not just for Philips monitors. Please be aware that not all models in the Philips range has this manual degauss function. Some models are built with an auto degauss feature which automatically degausses the monitor when it is switched on.

Video graphics adapters

file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17_5/edoc/ENGLISH/GLOSSARY/GLOSSARY.HTM (21 of 22)7/15/2004 5:05:54 PM
A card equipped with a character or graphic generator and video memory, which maps to the screen. A microprocessor scans video memory and translates bit information from the computer into displayable video signals for the monitor. These cards comply with various standards that determine the nature and quality of the display. VGA (Video Graphics Array), introduced in 1987, was the first analog card. It offered still higher resolution than EGA: 640 X 480 pixels for graphics and 720 x 400 pixels for text, and a color palette of 256 colors. VGA could also emulate EGA and CGA. Super VGA, devised by VESA in 1989, offers a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. Extended VGA, introduced by VESA in 1991, offers a top resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (noninterlaced) and a refresh rate slightly higher than IBM's XGA 8514A. High-end, graphics adapters, introduced over the last three years for professional workstations, offer top resolutions from 1280 x 1024 to 1600 x 1280, horizontal line frequencies up to 90 kHz and bandwidths up to 200 MHz.

VIS (Viewable Image Size)
The real screen dimensions that users can see measured diagonally. The VIS of a monitor is always less than the so called screen size of a monitor. For example, the VIS of a 17-inch monitor is only about 16 inches. It depends on the useful screen size of CRT and the opening of a monitor's front cabinet.

Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO' 99approved and labeled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

Why do we have environmentally labeled computers?
In many countries, environmental labeling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17_5/edoc/ENGLISH/107E/SAFETY/regs/regulat.htm (1 of 17)7/15/2004 5:30:02 PM
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.
What does labeling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO' 99 scheme which provides for international and environmental labeling of personal computers. The labeling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration). Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety. The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its operational policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user. Labeled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability. Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from: TCO Development SE-Stockholm, Sweden Fax: +07 Email (Internet): development@tco.se Current information regarding TCO' 99 approved and labeled products may also be obtained via the Internet, using the address: http://www.tco-info.com/

Environmental Requirements Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in fetus development may occur. The relevant TCO' 99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available. Cadmium** Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO' 99 requirement states that batteries, the color-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium. Mercury** Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO' 99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labeled unit. CFCs (freons) The relevant TCO' 99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17_5/edoc/ENGLISH/107E/SAFETY/regs/regulat.htm (3 of 17)7/15/2004 5:30:02 PM
manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with increased risks e.g. skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence. Lead** Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO' 99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed. * Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms. ** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.
