Safety precautions and maintenance

WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than those
specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock, electrical
hazards and/or mechanical hazards.

Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:

● Unplug the monitor if you are not going to use it for an extensive period of time.

● Unplug the monitor if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. The screen may be wiped with a

dry cloth when the power is off. However, never use alcohol, solvents or ammonia-based liquids.

● Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when you have followed the

instructions in this manual.

● The casing cover should be opened only by qualified service personnel.

● Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat source.

● Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s

electronics.

● Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.

● Keep the monitor dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to rain or excessive moisture.

● When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.

● If turning off the monitor by detaching the power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds before

attach the power cable or DC power cord for normal operation.

● To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not expose the monitor to rain or

excessive moisture.

● IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your application. If a still image in high

contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave an 'after-image' or 'ghost
image' on the front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by the
shortcomings inherent in the LCD technology. In most cases, the after-image will disappear
gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off. Be aware, that the after-image

symptom cannot be repaired and is not covered under warranty.

Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when the operating instructions given
in this manual have been followed.

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" Wide WXGA: 1280x768 @60Hz.

1. Unplug all cables, then connect your PC to the monitor you used previously, which displayed

correctly.

2. 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 settings tab, in a
box labelled 'desktop area', move the slidebar to 1280x768 pixels (17" Wide WXGA).

3. Open 'Advanced Properties' and set the Refresh Rate to 60Hz, then click OK.

4. Restart your computer and repeat steps 2 and 3 to verify that your PC is set at 1280x768@60Hz

(17" Wide WXGA).

5. Shut down your computer, disconnect your old monitor and reconnect your Philips LCD monitor.

6. 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 75Hz and 60Hz.

Q: What are the .inf and .icm files on the set-up disk & 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. The 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 driver disk (either floppy or 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® 95/98 Me & 2000/XP with the 'Display
properties/Settings' control panel.

Q: What if I get lost when I am making monitor adjustments?

A: Simply press the OSD button, then select 'Reset' to recall all of the original factory settings.

Q: My Monitor has no power (Power LED does not light up). What should I do?

A: Make sure the power cord is connected to the Monitor.

Q: Will the product accept an Interlace signal?

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?

file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/B2C_TV/ENGLISH/170T4/safety/saf_faq.htm (2 of 8) [3/2/2004 3:46:29 PM]

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. An optional protective cover with
greater scratch resistance is also available.

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 the Philips LCD Monitor be mounted on the wall or used as a touch panel?

A: Yes. Philips LCD monitors have this optional feature. The standard VESA mount holes on the

back cover allows the user to mount the Philips monitor on any VESA standard ARM or accessories.
Touch panels are being developed for future applications. Check with your Philips sales
representative for more information.

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, calculators, portable game consoles, etc.
LCD is the technology used for displays in notebooks and other small computers. Like light-emitting
diode and gas-plasma technologies, LCD allows displays to be much thinner than cathode ray tube
(CRT) technology. LCD consumes much less power than LED and gas-displays because it works on
the principle of blocking light rather than emitting it.

Q: How are LCDs made?

A: LCDs are created from two glass plates separated from each other at a distance of a few

microns. The plates are filled with liquid crystal and then sealed together. The top plate is colored
with an RGB pattern to make the color filter. Polarizers are then glued to both plates. This
combination is sometimes called 'glass' or 'cell.' The LCD cell is assembled into a 'module' by
adding the backlight, driver electronics and frame.

Q: What is polarization ?

A: Polarization is basically directing light to shine in one direction. Light is electromagnetic waves.

Electric and magnetic fields oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the propagation of the light
beam. The direction of these fields is called the 'polarization direction'. Normal or non-polarized light
has fields in several directions; polarized light has a field in only one direction.

file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/B2C_TV/ENGLISH/170T4/safety/saf_faq.htm (5 of 8) [3/2/2004 3:46:29 PM]

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

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 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 located at each intersection in the grid.

Q: How does a TFT LCD Panel work?

A: On each column and row of the TFT LCD panel, a data source drive and a gate drive are attached,

respectively. The TFT drain of each cell is connected to the electrode. The molecular arrangement of
liquid crystal elements differ acceding to whether it is impressed with voltage or not. It varies the
direction of polarized light and the amount of light by letting it through different arrays of liquid
crystal elements. When two polarized filters are arranged vertically on a polarized light pole, the
light that passes through the upper polarized panel is turned 90 degrees along with the spiral
structure of the liquid crystal molecules and goes through the polarized filter at the bottom. When
impressed with voltage, liquid crystal molecules are arranged vertically from the original spiral
structure and the direction of the light is not turned through 90 degrees. In this case, light that
comes through the top polarized panel may not go through the polarized panel at the bottom.

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 a 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

file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/B2C_TV/ENGLISH/170T4/safety/saf_faq.htm (6 of 8) [3/2/2004 3:46:29 PM]

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

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 optimise 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 ratio 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 free 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.

TCO '99 Information

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO '99 approved and

labeled product! Your choice has provided you with a product
developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to
reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further
development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

Why do we have environmentally labeled computers?

In many countries, environmental labeling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of
goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipment
are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their
manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of
these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.

There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the
viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of electricity
generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive
waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby
consumes a lot of energy.

What does labeling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for international and environmental
labeling of personal computers. The labeling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish
Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature
Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).

Regulatory Information

Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electric and
magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and
chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be
prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in
each country where the company implements its operational policy.

The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of inactivity,
shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the
computer shall be reasonable for the user.

Labeled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electric and
magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

Environmental Requirements

Flame retardants

Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to
prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame
retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically
related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride
and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating
birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood
and researchers fear that disturbances in fetus development may occur.

Regulatory Information

The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain
flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit
boards since no substitutes are available.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-generating layers of certain computer displays.
Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that
batteries, the color-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not
contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in high
doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that
mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labeled unit.

CFCs (freons)

The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture and
assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down
ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet
light with increased risks e.g. skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.

Lead**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system
and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO'99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since
no replacement has yet been developed.

* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.

** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.

Important:

This apparatus is supplied with an approved
moulded 13A plug. To change a fuse in this type
of plug proceed as follows:

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS 1362
5A,A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3. Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate 3­pin plug fitted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should
have a value of 5A. If a plug without a fuse is
used, the fuse at the distribution board should
not be greater than 5A.

Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to
avoid a possible shock hazard should it be
inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:

BLUE - "NEUTRAL" ("N")

BROWN - "LIVE" ("L")

GREEN & YELLOW - "EARTH" ("E")

1. The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be

Philips' LCD Panel Pixel Defect Policy

Philips strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of the industry's most advanced
manufacturing processes and practice stringent quality control. However, pixel or sub pixel defects on the
TFT LCD panels used in flat panel monitors are sometimes unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee
that all panels will be free from pixel defects, but Philips guarantees that any monitor with an unacceptable
number of defects will be repaired or replaced under warranty. This notice explains the different types of
pixel defects and defines acceptable defect levels for each type. In order to qualify for repair or replacement
under warranty, the number of pixel defects on a TFT LCD panel must exceed these acceptable levels. For
example, no more than 0.0004% of the sub pixels on a 15" XGA monitor may be defective. Furthermore,
Philips sets even higher quality standards for certain types or combinations of pixel defects that are more
noticeable than others. This policy is valid worldwide.

Pixels and Sub pixels

A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three sub pixels in the primary colors of red, green and blue.
Many pixels together form an image. When all sub pixels of a pixel are lit, the three colored subpixels
together appear as a single white pixel. When all are dark, the three colored sub pixels together appear as a
single black pixel. Other combinations of lit and dark sub pixels appear as single pixels of other colors.

file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/B2C_TV/ENGLISH/170T4/product/pixel.htm (1 of 4) [3/2/2004 3:46:39 PM]

Philips Pixel Defect Policy

Types of Pixel Defects

Pixel and sub pixel defects appear on the screen in different ways. There are two categories of pixel defects
and several types of sub pixel defects within each category.

Bright Dot Defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always lit or 'on'. These are the types of bright dot

defects:

One lit red, green or blue sub
pixel

Two adjacent lit sub pixels:

- Red + Blue = Purple

- Red + Green = Yellow

- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)

Three adjacent lit sub pixels
(one white pixel)

Black Dot Defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always dark or 'off'. These are the types of black

dot defects:

One dark sub pixel Two or three adjacent dark sub pixels

Proximity of Pixel Defects

Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the same type that are near to one another may be more noticeable,
Philips also specifies tolerances for the proximity of pixel defects.
