    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 19: 1440x900 @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, selec\
    t the 
    Settings tab. Under the setting tab, in box labeled desktop area, mo\
    ve the 
    slidebar to 1440x900 pixels (19).
    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 
    1440x900@60Hz (19).
    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 are the .inf and .icm files on the CD-ROM? How do I install the dr\
    ivers (.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 dri\
    vers (.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 drive\
    rs (.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 availa\
    ble 
    resolutions. You can select the desired resolution under Windows® Con\
    trol Panel

    Q: What if I get lost when I am making monitor adjustments?
    A: Simply press the MENU button, the Setup 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 out\
    let, 
    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 ev\
    en 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 m\
    atrix 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 dura\
    ble to a

    certain extent (approximately up to the hardness of a 2H pencil). In g\
    eneral, it is 
    recommended that the panel surface is not subject to any excessive shock\
    s or 
    scratches.
    
    Q: How should I clean the LCD surface?
    A: For normal cleaning, use a clean, soft cloth. For extensive cleaning, p\
    lease use 
    isopropyl alcohol. Do not use other solvents such as ethyl alcohol, etha\
    nol, 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 follow\
    ing 
    procedures,
    1. Press MENU to show the OSD (On Screen Display) menu
    
    2. Press Down Arrow to select the option Color then press OK to en\
    ter color 
    setting, there are three settings as below.
    a. Color Temperature; The six settings are  5000K, 6500K, 7500K, 
    8200K, 9300K and 11500K. With settings in the 5000K range the panel 
    appears ‘warm, with a red-white color tone, while a 11500K 
    temperature yields ‘cool, blue-white toning.
     
    b. sRGB; this is a standard setting for ensuring correct exchange of 
    colors between different device (e.g. digital cameras, monitors, printe\
    rs, 
    scanners, etc)
     
    c. User Define; the user can choose his/her preference color setting by \
    adjusting red, green blue color.
     
    d. Gamma; The five settings are 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, and 2.6. 
    *A measurement of the color of light radiated by an object while it is b\
    eing heated. 
    This measurement is expressed in terms of absolute scale, (degrees Kelv\
    in). Lower 
    Kelvin temperatures such as 2004K are red; higher temperatures such as 9\
    300K are 
    blue. Neutral temperature is white, at 6504K. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE

    Compatibility with other Peripherals
    Q:
     Can I connect my LCD monitor to any PC, workstation or Mac?
    A: Yes. All Philips LCD monitors are fully compatible with standard PCs, M\
    acs and 
    workstations. You may need a cable adapter to connect the monitor to you\
    r Mac 
    system. Please contact your Philips sales representative for more inform\
    ation.
    
    Q: Are Philips LCD monitors Plug-and-Play?
    A: Yes, the monitors are Plug-and-Play compatible with Windows® 95, 98,\
     2000, XP 
    and Vista.
    
    Q: What is USB (Universal Serial Bus)?
    A: Think of USB as a smart plug for PC peripherals. USB automatically dete\
    rmines 
    resources (like driver software and bus bandwidth) required by periphe\
    rals. USB 
    makes necessary resources available without user intervention. There are\
     three main 
    benefits of USB. USB eliminates case anxiety, the fear of removing the\
     computer 
    case to install circuit board cards -- that often requires 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, fo\
    r 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 \
    one 
    computer. USB permits hot plug-in. No need to shut down, plug in, rebo\
    ot and run 
    set up to install peripherals. No need to go through the reverse process\
     to unplug a 
    device. Bottom line: USB transforms todays Plug-and-Pray into true Pl\
    ug-and-Play! 
     
    Please refer to glossary for more information about USB.
    
    Q: What is a USB hub ? 
    A: A USB hub provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus. \
    A hubs 
    upstream port connects a hub to the host, usually a PC. Multiple downstr\
    eam ports in 
    a hub allows connection to another hub or device, such as a USB keyboard\
    , camera 
    or printer.

    LCD Panel Technology
    Q:
     What is a Liquid Crystal Display?
    A: A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is an optical device that is commonly \
    used to 
    display ASCII characters and images on digital items such as watches, ca\
    lculators, 
    portable game consoles, etc. LCD is the technology used for displays in \
    notebooks 
    and other small computers. Like light-emitting diode and gas-plasma tech\
    nologies, 
    LCD allows displays to be much thinner than cathode ray tube (CRT) tec\
    hnology. 
    LCD consumes much less power than LED and gas-displays because it works \
    on the 
    principle of blocking light rather than emitting it.
    
    
    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, requi\
    ring less current 
    to control the luminance of a pixel. For this reason, the current in an \
    active matrix 
    display can be switched on and off more frequently, improving the screen\
     refresh time 
    (your mouse pointer will appear to move more smoothly across the screen\
    , for 
    example). The passive matrix LCD has a grid of conductors with pixels l\
    ocated at

    							2T	SFRVFOUMZTLFE2VFTUJPOT
    
    each intersection in the grid.
    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 operat\
    e 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 e\
    lements. A 
    TFT LCD has two glass panels and the space between them is filled with l\
    iquid 
    crystal. When each cell is connected with electrodes and impressed with \
    voltage, the 
    molecular structure of the liquid crystal is altered and controls the am\
    ount 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 sc\
    anning 
    method.
    
    Q: Why is vertical frequency of 60Hz optimal for an LCD monitor?
    A: Unlike a CRT monitor, the TFT LCD panel has a fixed resolution. For exa\
    mple, 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 opti\
    mum 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 b\
    acklight 
    using the dual-refraction of a liquid crystal. Using the property that t\
    he projection of 
    inlet light refracts toward the major axis of the liquid element, it con\
    trols the direction 
    of inlet light and displays it. Since the refraction ratio of inlet ligh\
    t on liquid crystal 
    varies with the inlet angle of the light, the viewing angle of a TFT is \
    much narrower 
    than that of a CRT. Usually, the viewing angle refers to the point where\
     the contrast 
    ration is 10. Many ways to widen the viewing angle are currently being d\
    eveloped and 
    the most common approach is to use a wide viewing angle film, which wide\
    ns 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 
    GJMF&]-$%.POJUPS0&.1IJMJQT.QSPKFDU$$&%6#7$%$POUFOUTMDENBOVBM&/(-*4)$TBGFUZTBG@ 
    						
    							2T	SFRVFOUMZTLFE2VFTUJPOT
    
    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 c\
    aused 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 flu\
    orescent object 
    becomes visible. Since the reaction speed of liquid crystal in an LCD pa\
    nel is much 
    slower, this troublesome form of flickering is not present in an LCD dis\
    play.
    
    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 Elec\
    tro 
    Magnetic Interference, especially magnetic fields. Also, since an LCD di\
    splay utilizes 
    relatively low power, its power supply is extremely quiet.

    Q:
     What is the CE mark?
    A: The CE (Conformité Européenne) mark is required to be displayed\
     on all regulated 
    products offered for sale on the European market. This CE mark means t\
    hat a 
    product complies with the relevant European Directive. A European Direct\
    ive 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 TCO Displays 5.0\
     
    standards for the control of radiation, electromagnetic waves, energy re\
    duction, 
    electrical safety in the work environment and recyclability. The specifi\
    cation page
