109P Product Information
sRGB is a standard for ensuring correct exchange of colors between different devices (e.g. digital cameras, monitors, printers, scanners, etc.)
Using a standard unified color space, sRGB will help represent pictures taken by an sRGB compatible device correctly on your sRGB enabled Philips monitors. In that way, the colors are calibrated and you can rely on the correctness of the colors shown on your screen.
Important with the use of sRGB is that the brightness and contrast of your monitor is fixed to a predefined setting as well as the color gamut. Therefore it is important to select the sRGB setting in the monitor's OSD.
To do so, open the OSD by pressing the OK button on the front of your monitor. Use the down button to go to Color temperature and press OK again. Then move the down button to go to sRGB and press OK again.
Exit this OSD.
After this, please don't change the brightness or contrast setting of your monitor. If you change either of these, the monitor will exit the sRGB mode and go to a color temperature setting of 9300K.
For more information on sRGB, please visit:
www.srgb.com

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "Designed for Windows" logo signify?
The "Designed for Windows" logo means your Philips monitor fulfills the requirements and recommendations of the PC9x (97, 98, or 99) System Design Guide and passes stringent WHQL tests.
2. What is USB?
Think of USB as 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. Its three main benefits are:
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!
3. 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.

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_19_5/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (3 of 14)2005-04-21 ¤W¤È 09:37:46
Frequently Asked Questions
"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:
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_19_5/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (4 of 14)2005-04-21 ¤W¤È 09:37:46
Frequently Asked Questions

LightFrame
TM
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_19_5/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (5 of 14)2005-04-21 ¤W¤È 09:37:46
Frequently Asked Questions
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 state­of-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.
21. I get a message warning that my monitor 'may not support LightFrame '. I am certain my monitor does. What is wrong?
Only a Philips driver can determine if your monitor is equipped with LightFrame; a generic Windows driver cannot. Install the special Philips driver that came with your monitor. If the warning continues to
flash after your Philips driver is installed, ignore the message. LightFrame
TM
will function properly.
22. What will happen when my system is no longer connected to a LightFrame™ enabled monitor - for example, when I take my notebook on the road?
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_19_5/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (6 of 14)2005-04-21 ¤W¤È 09:37:46
Frequently Asked Questions
Philips exclusive LightFrame feature requires the combined operation of hardware that resides in your monitor and software installed on your system. It only works when a monitor with built-in hardware
receives commands from system software. Without both the LightFrame
TM
hardware equipped monitor
and system software, the LightFrame
does not function.
23. What is "XtraSpace Design" (XSD)?
XSD stands for XtraSpace Design, a Philips breakthrough that reduces a CRT display device's footprint. Philips XSD monitors combine the world's smallest front-to-back footprint with excellent front of screen performance.
24. How did Philips achieve XtraSpace Design?
Philips achieved this breakthrough in reduced footprint CRT display devices through short depth tubes and a focused design process that squeezed every excess millimeter out of XSD monitor desk space requirements.
25. What is Philips monitors' solution for audio?
Not all users need multimedia capabilities. To give users freedom of choice, Philips provides an optional Multimedia Base (type number: 6G3B10). The Multimedia Base replaces the easily removable standard
pedestal of the monitor.
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_19_5/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (7 of 14)2005-04-21 ¤W¤È 09:37:46
Frequently Asked Questions
26. Which models can be incorporated with the Multimedia Base?
The following models can be incorporated with the Multimedia Base: 109B5, 109E5,109F5, 107B5, 107E5,107F5, 107S5, 107T5.
27. What are Philips Multimedia Base's specifications?
See detailed Multimedia Base specifications on the product information page.
28. Why is a Multimedia Base better than separate speakers?
The major advantage of the Multimedia Base is its minimal space requirements. In fact, it hardly uses any extra space at all: monitor depth and width are unchanged. Only the monitor's height is increased by only 3 centimeters.
29. Where can I buy a multimedia base to incorporate with my Philips monitor?
Please contact your dealer/reseller for details.
30. What does Auto Calibrate do?
It makes your monitor perform better and last longer. As a monitor becomes older, brightness gradually deteriorates and its colors change. This well-known process effects all monitors. Eventually after a
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_19_5/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (8 of 14)2005-04-21 ¤W¤È 09:37:46
Frequently Asked Questions
number of years, the monitor's brightness deteriorates to below 50% of its original value. At this stage, the usable life of a monitor is considered ended. Auto Calibrate regularly readjusts color temperature and luminance to their original values.
31. How does Philips Auto Calibrate feature benefit me?
With Auto Calibrate, it takes a monitor's luminance 33 percent longer to deteriorate to the 50 percent level that marks the end of a display device's useful life. Thanks to Auto Calibrate, a monitor with a normal life of 10,000 hours, for example, would last for 13,300 hours, a full one third longer.
32. How does Auto Calibrate work?
During the calibration process, different predefined black and white images are displayed on thescreen. The beam currents of the red, green and blue cannon are accurately measured and compared to the original values stored in the monitor. By readjusting gain values of the individual cannons, deviation is reduced to zero. Default values are stored during production. If the user sets a new color temperature, this new value is saved as the new default value.
33. When should calibration be performed?
The calibration process takes less than six seconds. During this period, different specific images are displayed. After the process is finalized, the original image is redisplayed. Constant re-calibration is not required. Calibration should be performed after the monitor is warmed up. Auto Calibration takes place
when a monitor receives a signal indicating an imminent switch to its sleep mode/stand-by mode.
34. Which models of Philips monitors are equipped with Auto Calibrate feature?
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_19_5/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (9 of 14)2005-04-21 ¤W¤È 09:37:46
Frequently Asked Questions
Auto Calibrate is currently available in the new 201P, 201B and 109P.
