FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
General FAQs Q: When I install my monitor what should I do if the screen shows 'Cannot display this video mode'? A: Recommended video mode for Philips 17": 1280x1024 @60Hz.
Unplug all cables, then connect your PC to the monitor that you used previously. In the Windows Start Menu, select Settings/Control Panel. In the Control Panel Window, select the Display icon. Inside the Display Control Panel, select the 'Settings' tab. Under the setting tab, in box labeled 'desktop area', move the slidebar to 1280x1024 pixels (17"). Open 'Advanced Properties' and set the Refresh Rate to 60Hz, then click OK. Restart your computer and repeat step 2 and 3 to verify that your PC is set at 1280x1024@60Hz (17"). Shut down your computer, disconnect your old monitor and reconnect your Philips LCD monitor. Turn on your monitor and then turn on your PC.

Q: What does 'refresh rate' mean in connection with an LCD monitor? A: The refresh rate is of much less relevance for LCD monitors. LCD monitors display a stable, flicker-free image at 60Hz. There is no visible difference between 85Hz and 60Hz.
Q: What are the.inf and.icm files on the CD-ROM? How do I install the drivers (.inf and. icm)? A: These are the driver files for your monitor. Follow the instructions in your user manual to install the drivers. Your computer may ask you for monitor drivers (.inf and. icm files) or a driver disk when you first install your monitor. Follow the instructions to insert the ( companion CD-ROM) included in this package. Monitor drivers (.inf and. icm files) will be installed automatically.
Q: How do I adjust the resolution? A: Your video card/graphic driver and monitor together determine the available resolutions. You can select the desired resolution under Windows Control Panel with the "Display properties".
Q: What if I get lost when I am making monitor adjustments? A: Simply press the OK button, then select 'Reset' to recall all of the original factory settings.
Q: What is the Auto function? A: The AUTO adjustment key restores the optimal screen position, phase and clock settings by pressing of a single button without the need to navigate through OSD (On Screen Display) menus and control keys.
Note: Auto function is available in selected models only.
Q: My Monitor has no power (Power LED does not light up). What should I do? A: Make sure the AC power cord is connected between the monitor and AC outlet, and click a key on keyboard/mouse to wake up the PC.
Q: Will the LCD monitor accept an interlaced signal under PC models? A: No. If an Interlace signal is used, the screen displays both odd and even horizontal scanning lines at the same time, thus distorting the picture.
Q: What does the Refresh Rate mean for LCD? A: Unlike CRT display technology, in which the speed of the electron beam is swept
from the top to the bottom of the screen determines flicker, an active matrix display uses an active element (TFT) to control each individual pixel and the refresh rate is therefore not really applicable to LCD technology.

Q: Will the LCD screen be resistant to scratches? A: A protective coating is applied to the surface of the LCD, which is durable to a certain extent (approximately up to the hardness of a 2H pencil). In general, it is recommended that the panel surface is not subject to any excessive shocks or scratches.
Q: How should I clean the LCD surface? A: For normal cleaning, use a clean, soft cloth. For extensive cleaning, please use isopropyl alcohol. Do not use other solvents such as ethyl alcohol, ethanol, acetone, hexane, etc.
Q:Can I change the color setting of my monitor? A:Yes, you can change your color setting through OSD control as the following procedures,
1. Press "OK" to show the OSD (On Screen Display) menu 2. Press "Down Arrow" to select the option "color" then press "OK" to enter color setting, there are five settings as below. a. 6500K; this setting features the panel closed to red-white color tone. b. 9300K; this setting features the panel closed to blue-white color tone. c. Original; this setting load the default panel setting in terms of color tone. (Note: different panel maker may feature a different color temperature*) d. sRGB; this is a standard setting for ensuring correct exchange of colors between different device (e.g. digital cameras, monitors, printers, scanners, etc.) e. User Define; the user can choose his/her preference color setting by adjusting red, green, blue color.
*A measurement of the color of light radiated by an object while it is being heated. This measurement is expressed in terms of absolute scale, (degrees Kelvin). Lower Kevin temperatures such as 2004K are red; higher temperatures such as 9300K are blue. Neutral temperature is white, at 6504K.
Q: Can the Philips LCD Monitor be mounted on the wall? A: Yes. Philips LCD monitors have this optional feature. For standard VESA mount holes on the rear cover allows the user to mount the Philips monitor on most of the VESA standard arms or accessories. We recommend to contact your Philips sales representative for more information.

Screen Adjustments Q: What is the FPadjust program on the CD-ROM? A: The FPadjust program generates alignment patterns that help you adjust monitor settings such as Contrast, Brightness, Horizontal Position, Vertical Position, Phase and Clock for optimal performance. Q: When I install my monitor, how do I get the best performance from the monitor? A:

Q: What are the advantages of TFT LCD compared with CRT? A: In a CRT monitor, a gun shoots electrons and general light by colliding polarized electrons on fluorescent glass. Therefore, CRT monitors basically operate with an analog RGB signal. A TFT LCD monitor is a device that displays an input image by operating a liquid crystal panel. The TFT has a fundamentally different structure than a CRT: Each cell has an active matrix structure and independent active elements. A TFT LCD has two glass panels and the space between them is filled with liquid crystal. When each cell is connected with electrodes and impressed with voltage, the molecular structure of the liquid crystal is altered and controls the amount of inlet lighting to display images. A TFT LCD has several advantages over a CRT, since it can be very thin and no flickering occurs because it does not use the scanning

method.

Q: Why is vertical frequency of 60Hz optimal for an LCD monitor? A: Unlike a CDT monitor, the TFT LCD panel has a fixed resolution. For example, an XGA monitor has 1024x3 (R, G, B) x 768 pixels and a higher resolution may not be available without additional software processing. The panel is designed to optimize the display for a 65MHz dot clock, one of the standards for XGA displays. Since the vertical/horizontal frequency for this dot clock is 60Hz/48kHz, the optimum frequency for this monitor is 60Hz. Q: What kind of wide-angle technology is available? How does it work? A: The TFT LCD panel is an element that controls/displays the inlet of a backlight using the dual-refraction of a liquid crystal. Using the property that the projection of inlet light refracts toward the major axis of the liquid element, it controls the direction of inlet light and displays it. Since the refraction ratio of inlet light on liquid crystal varies with the inlet angle of the light, the viewing angle of a TFT is much narrower than that of a CDT. Usually, the viewing angle refers to the point where the contrast ration is 10. Many ways to widen the viewing angle are currently being developed and the most common approach is to use a wide viewing angle film, which widens the viewing angle by varying the refraction ratio. IPS (In Plane Switching) or MVA (Multi Vertical Aligned) is also used to give a wider viewing angle. Q: Why is there no flicker on an LCD Monitor? A: Technically speaking, LCDs do flicker, but the cause of the phenomenon is different from that of a CRT monitor -- and it has no impact of the ease of viewing. Flickering in an LCD monitor relates to usually undetectable luminance caused by the difference between positive and negative voltage. On the other hand, CRT flickering that can irritate the human eye occurs when the on/off action of the fluorescent object becomes visible. Since the reaction speed of liquid crystal in an LCD panel is much slower, this troublesome form of flickering is not present in an LCD display.

Q: Why is an LCD monitor virtually low of Electro Magnetic Interference? A: Unlike a CRT, an LCD monitor does not have key parts that generate Electro Magnetic Interference, especially magnetic fields. Also, since an LCD display utilizes relatively low power, its power supply is extremely quiet.
Ergonomics, Ecology and Safety Standards Q: What is the CE mark? A: The CE (Conformit Europenne) mark is required to be displayed on all regulated products offered for sale on the European market. This 'CE' mark means that a product complies with the relevant European Directive. A European Directive is a European 'Law' that relates to health, safety, environment and consumer protection, much the same as the U.S. National Electrical Code and UL Standards. Q: Does the LCD monitor conform to general safety standards? A: Yes. Philips LCD monitors conform to the guidelines of MPR-II and TCO 99/03 standards for the control of radiation, electromagnetic waves, energy reduction, electrical safety in the work environment and recyclability. The specification page provides detailed data on safety standards.

USB plug: An upstream and a downstream USB plug is provide for user's convenience.
T TFT(thin film transistor)
Usually made from amorphous silicon (a-Si) and used as a switch to a charge storage device located below each sub-pixel on an active matrix LCD.
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. USB eliminates "case anxiety" -- the fear of removing the computer case to install add-on peripherals. 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 providing 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 signaling. A hub consists of two portions: the Hub Controller and Hub Repeater. The repeater is a protocolcontrolled 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.

Highlights
SmartManage enabled SmartManage is a system for monitoring, managing and checking status of display devices as well as delivering remote support to users who experience difficulties - all accomplished over a LAN. Lower power consumption Reduction of the electrical power required to operate a device. TCO '03 compliance A TCO (Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees) standard even more stringent than MPR-II for safety and ergonomics, especially concerning alternating electric fields (AEF). Energy Star partner A manufacturer in compliance with power conservation requirements set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency of the U.S. government. SXGA, 1280 x 1024 resolution For graphics monitors, the screen resolution signifies the number of dots (pixels) on the entire screen. For example, a 1280-by-1024 pixel screen is capable of displaying 1280 distinct dots on each of 1024 lines, or about 1.3 million pixels. sRGB is an industry standard that ensures the best possible match between the colours displayed on your screen and those in your printouts. SmartControl PC software for fine tuning display performance and settings. Philips offers users Dual input provides connectors to accommodate input of both analogue VGA and digital DVI signals. 5ms on/off response time On-Off response time is the period required for a liquid crystal cell to go from active (black) to inactive (white) and back to active (black) again. It is measured in milliseconds. Faster is better: Lower response time means faster transitions and, therefore, results in fewer visible image artefacts in the display of transition of texts and graphics. On-Off response time is a more important measure in the display of business content like documents, graphs and photos. sRGB ready two choices for display setting adjustment. Either navigate the multilevel On Screen Display menu through buttons on the display itself or use the Philips SmartControl software to easily adjust the various display settings in a familiar way. Embedded power supply An embedded power supply is a power adaptor built into the body of a display device that replaces a bulky external power adaptor. FlexiHolder FlexiHolder is a slim groove on the top of monitor that neatly and conveniently stores favourite photos, reminders, to-do lists or phone numbers in your line of sight. Dual input
