General FAQs 
Q:
 When I install my monitor how do I do if the screen shows Cannot displ\
ay this video mode?
A: Recommended video mode for Philips 14/15: 1024x768 @60Hz for Philips 1\
7/18
1280x1024@60Hz.
Unplug all cables, then...

Q: What does refresh rate mean to me in an LCD monitor?
A: For LCD monitors, the refresh rate is much less relevant. LCD monitors d\
isplay a stable,
flicker-free image at 60Hz. There is no visible differences between 85Hz\
 and 60Hz.
Q: What are the .inf and .icm files on the setup disk & CD-ROM? How do I i\
nstall 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. You computer may ask you for monitor drivers...

Q: Does Refresh Rate mean to LCD?
A: Unlike CRT display technology in which the speed the electron beam is s\
wept from the top to the
bottom of the screen determines flicker, an active matrix display uses a\
n active element (TFT) to 
control each individual pixel and thus refresh rate is not really applicable to LCD technology.
Q: Will the LCD screen resistant scratches?
A: A protective coating is applied onto the surface of the LCD, which is du\
rable up to a certain
extent of hardness (approximately...

Q: When I install my monitor, how do I get the best performance for the mo\
nitor?
A:
For best performance, make sure your display settings are set at 1024x76\
8@60Hz for 14/15, 
1280x1024@60Hz for 17/18. Note: You can check the current display sett\
ings by pressing the OSD 
OK button once. 
The current display mode is shown in product information in OSD main con\
trols.1.  
To install the Flat Panel Adjust (FPadjust) program located on the mon\
itor setup CD-ROM, open the

adjustment of complicated IRQ settings -- for add-on peripherals. USB do\
es 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 t\
he market every day. 
With USB, up to 127 devices can run simultaneously on one computer. USB \
permits hot plug-in. No need 
to shut down, plug...

Q: What differentiates passive matrix LCDs from active matrix LCDs?
A: An LCD is made with either a passive matrix or an active matrix display\
 grid. An active matrix has
a transistor located at each pixel intersection, requiring less current \
to control the luminance of a 
pixel. For this reason, the current in an active matrix display can be s\
witched on and off more 
frequently, improving the screen refresh time (your mouse pointer will \
appear to move more 
smoothly across the screen, for...

Q: What kind of wide-angle technology is available? How does it work?
A: The TFT LCD panel is an element controls/displays inlet of a backlight \
using the dual-refraction
of 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 display\
s 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 
narrow...
