FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) • Safety and Troubleshooting FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) • General FAQs • Screen Adjustments • Compatibility with Other Peripherals General FAQs • LCD Panel Technology Q: When I install my monitor what should I do if the screen shows 'Cannot display this video mode'? • Ergonomics, Ecology and Safety Standards • Troubleshooting • Regulatory Information A: Recommended video mode for Philips 17 ": 1280 x 1024 @60Hz. 1.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) 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 MENU button, then select 'Reset' to recall all of the original factory settings.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) 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.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) Q: How do LCDs compare to CRTs in terms of radiation? A: Because LCDs do not use an electron gun, they do not generate the same amount of radiation at the screen surface. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE Compatibility with other Peripherals 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.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) 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.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) 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. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE Ergonomics, Ecology and Safety Standards 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.

Glossary Glossary ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ A Active matrix This is a kind of liquid crystal display structure in which switching transistors are attached to each pixel to control the on/ off voltage. It produces a brighter and sharper display with a broader viewing angle than a passive matrix display. Also refer to TFT (thin film transistor). Amorphous silicon (a-Si) A semiconductor material that is used to make the thin film transistors (TFTs) layer of an active matrix LCD.
Glossary The light source for a transmissive LCD. There are two techniques used in nowaday LCD designs. Most TFT LCD panels use CCFLs (cold cathode fluorescent light) and a diffuser panel directly behind the liquid crystal layer. New technology using Light Emitting Diodes (LED) are still under development. Brightness The dimension of color that is referred to an achromatic scale, ranging from black to white, also called lightness or luminous reflectance.
Glossary The ratio of luminance between the brightest white pattern and the darkest black pattern. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE D D-SUB A VGA Analog input connector. Your monitor comes with a D-Sub cable. Digital Visual Interface (DVI) The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) specification provides a high-speed digital connection for visual data types that is display technology independent. The interface is primarily focused at providing a connection between a computer and its display device.
Glossary RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE G Gamma Screen luminance as a function of video voltage approximately follows a mathematical power function of the input video signal, the exponent of which is called gamma. Grayscale An achromatic scale ranging from black through a series of successively lighter grays to white. Such a series may be made up of steps, which appear to be equally distant from one another. If the Analog/ Digital converter is 8 bit, then the monitor can display at most 28 = 256 levels.
Glossary L LCD (liquid crystal display) A display composed of liquid crystal suspended between two transparent sheets. The display is composed thousands of pixels which can be turned on or off with electrical stimulation. Thus, colorful images/texts can be generated. Liquid crystal The compound found in liquid crystal displays. Liquid crystal reacts predictably when electrically stimulated. This makes it the ideal compound to turn LCD pixels "on" or "off." Liquid crystal is sometimes abbreviated as LC.
Glossary A light filter which only allows light waves of a certain rotation through. Polarized material with perpendicular filtering is used in LCDs to enclose the liquid crystal. The liquid crystal is then used as the medium which twists the light waves 90° in order to allow the light to pass through or not. R Refresh rate The number of times per second the screen is refreshed or redrawn. This number is usually stated in Hz (Hertz) or cycles per second. A rate of 60 Hz is equal to 60 tomes per second.
Glossary 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.
Glossary 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.
