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. Wiping the screen with a dry

cloth is possible 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 following 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 power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds, then 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.

●

When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.●
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 a so called "after-image"
or "ghost image" in front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by the
shortcomings inherent in the LCD technology. Most of the time the after-image will disappear
gradually over a period of time after switching off the power. Be aware that the after-image symptom
can not be repaired and is not covered under warranty.

●

Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when operating instructions of this
manual are followed.

General FAQs

Q:

When I install my monitor how do I do if the screen shows "Cannot display this video mode"?

A: Recommended video mode for Philips 15": 1024x768 @60Hz / Philips 18" 1280x1024@60Hz.

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

1.

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 setting tab, in
box labeled " desktop area ", move the slidebar to 1024x768 pixels (15") / 1280x1024 pixels (18").

2.

Open " Advanced Properties " and set the Refresh Rate to 60Hz, then click OK.3.
Restart your computer and repeat step 2 and 3 to verify that your PC is set at 1024x768@60Hz (15")

/ 1280x1024@60Hz (18").

4.

Shut down your computer, disconnect your old monitor and reconnect your Philips LCD monitor.5.
Turn on your monitor and then turn on your PC6.

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 display a stable,

flicker-free image at 60Hz. There is no visible differences between 75Hz and 60Hz.

Q: What are the .inf and .icm files on the setup 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 resolution?

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

file:///D|/TV/english/180mt/safety/saf_faq.htm (1 of 8) [6/4/2002 10:54:34 AM]

A: Your video card/graphic driver and monitor together determine the available resolutions. You

can select desired resolution under Window 95/98 Me & 2000/XP with the "Display
properties/Settings" control panel

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

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

Q: What is the Auto function?

A: The AUTO adjustment key restores optimal screen position, phase and clock settings with the

press of a single button – without navigation through OSD menus and control keys.

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

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

Q: Will the product accept an Interlaced signal?

A: No If an Interlace signal is used, the screen displays both odd and even horizontal scanning lines

at the same time, distorting the picture.

Q: Does Refresh Rate mean to LCD?

A: Unlike CRT display technology in which the speed 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 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 durable up to a certain

extent of hardness (approximately up to the hardness of a 2H pencil). In general, it is recommended
not to expose the panel surface to any excessive shocks or scratches. An optional protective cover
with greater scratch resistance is also available.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

file:///D|/TV/english/180mt/safety/saf_faq.htm (2 of 8) [6/4/2002 10:54:34 AM]

Q: How should I clean the LCD surface?

A:

For normal cleaning, use the clean, soft and fine. 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 hung on the wall or used as touch panel?

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

cover that allows 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.

Q:

When I use Philips 180MT in a dim room, I notice areas in the screen which are slightly brighter.

This is mainly visible in dark scenes or when the screen is completely black. What is wrong?

A: Philips developed this 18" monitor TV to give very bright images is great for TV and movie

viewing. As a result these brighter areas may be visible when the ambient light is very low. Your TV
monitor is functioning correctly and has no defect. We recommend to increase the ambient light
slightly which makes the effect less visible.

LCD Panel Technology

Q:

What is 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 notebook 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-display displays because
they work 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. Plates are filled with liquid crystal, then seals together. The top plate is colored with a RGB
pattern to make the color filter. Then polarizers are 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 wave.

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

Q: What differentiates passive matrix LCDs from active matrix LCDs?

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

file:///D|/TV/english/180mt/safety/saf_faq.htm (5 of 8) [6/4/2002 10:54:34 AM]

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 and attached

respectively. The TFT drain of each cell is connected to the electrode. The molecular arrangement of
liquid crystal elements differs depending on 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 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 in 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 to 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 analog RGB signal. A TFT LCD
monitor is a device displaying an input image by operating 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
in with liquid crystal. When each cell is connected with electrodes and impressed with voltage,
molecular structure of liquid crystal is altered and controls amount of inlet lighting to display
images. A TFT LCD has several advantages over a CRT, since it can be very thin and it does not
have flickering because it does not use scanning method.

Q: Vertical frequency of 60Hz optimal for an LCD monitor, why?

A: Unlike a CDT monitor, the TFT LCD panel has a fixed resolution. For example, an XGA monitor

has 1024x3 (R, G, B) x 768 pixels and higher resolution may not be available without additional
software processing. The panel is designed to optimize display for 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 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 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

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

file:///D|/TV/english/180mt/safety/saf_faq.htm (6 of 8) [6/4/2002 10:54:34 AM]

narrow than that of a CDT. Usually, viewing angle refers to the point where the contrast ratio is 10.
Many ways to widen the viewing angle are currently being developed the most commonly used
approach is to use a wide viewing angle film, which widens viewing angle by varying the refraction
ratio. Also IPS (In Plane Switching) or MVA (Multi Vertical Aligned) is used for 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

CRT monitor -- and has no impact of ease of viewing. Flickering in a LCD monitor refers 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 comes when the on/off action of the
florescent object becomes visible. Since the reaction speed of liquid crystal in a LCD panel is much
slower, this troublesome form of flickering is not present in 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 LCD display utilizes relatively low power, its
power supply is extremely quiet.

TCO '95 Information

Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO'95 approved and labelled 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 labelled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling 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 the manufacturing.
Since it has not been possible for the majority of electronics equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, 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 conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the
environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy.
Electronics equipment in offices consume an enormous amount of energy since they are often left running
continuously.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme which provides for international and environmental
labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish
Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation)
and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden). The requirements cover a wide
range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electrical and magnetic fields, energy consumption
and electrical and fire safety. The environmental demands concern 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 plan 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.

Labelled 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. On the back page of this folder, you will find a brief
summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may

Environmental Requirements

Brominated flame retardants

Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. In turn, they
delay the spread of fire. Up to thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant
substances. These are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to
similar harm, including reproductive damage in fisheating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative * processes.
Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may
occur.

TCO'95 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain organically bound
chlorine and bromine.

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. TCO'95 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet
been developed.

Cadmium

**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-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 colour-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. Mercury damages the nervous system and is toxic in
high doses. TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of mercury.
It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics components concerned with the display
unit. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as there today is no
commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.

CFCs (freons)

Regulatory Information

file:///D|/TV/english/180mt/safety/regs/regulat.htm (2 of 9) [6/4/2002 10:54:36 AM]

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacturing of expanded foam for
packaging. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased
reception on Earth of ultraviolet light with consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma). The
relevant TCO'95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacturing of the product or its
packaging.

The TCO'95 requirement: neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacturing of the product or its
packaging.

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
3-pin 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
connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter "E" or by the Earth symbol

Regulatory Information

file:///D|/TV/english/180mt/safety/regs/regulat.htm (8 of 9) [6/4/2002 10:54:36 AM]

or coloured GREEN or GREEN AND

YELLOW.

2. The BLUE wire must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter "N" or
coloured BLACK.

3. The BROWN wire must be connected to the
terminal which marked with the letter "L" or
coloured RED.

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of
the lead - not simply over the three wires.

Philips Pixel Defect Policy

Physical Specification • Pin Assignment • Product Views

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 subpixel 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 subpixels on a 18" XGA monitor
may be defective. Additionally, because some types or combinations of pixel defects are more noticeable than others,
Philips sets even higher quality standards for those.

Pixels and Subpixels

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

Types of Pixel Defects

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

Bright Dot Defects appear as pixels or subpixels that are always lit or "on". These are the types of bright dot defects:

Philips Pixel Defect Policy

file:///D|/TV/english/180mt/product/pixel.htm (1 of 3) [6/4/2002 10:54:43 AM]

One lit red, green or blue
subpixel

Two adjacent lit subpixels:

- Red + Blue = Purple

- Red + Green = Yellow

- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)

Three adjacent lit subpixels (one
white pixel)

Black Dot Defects appear as pixels or subpixels that are always dark or "off". These are the types of black dot defects:

One dark subpixel Two or three adjacent dark subpixels

Proximity of Pixel Defects

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

Pixel Defect Tolerances

In order to qualify for repair or replacement due to pixel defects during the warranty period, a TFT LCD panel in a
Philips flat panel monitor must have pixel or subpixel defects exceeding the tolerances listed in the following tables.

BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL ACCEPTABLE LEVEL

MODEL

150MT 180MT

1 lit subpixel 4 or fewer 3 or fewer
