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 ": 1440 x 900 @60Hz.

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

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 setting tab, in box labeled 'desktop
area', move the slidebar to 1440 x 900 pixels (19").

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

4. Restart your computer and repeat step 2 and 3 to verify that your PC is set at 1440 x 900@60Hz (19").

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 85Hz and 60Hz.

Q: What are the .inf and .icm files on the 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. Your

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 ( companion CD-ROM) included in this package. Monitor drivers (.inf and .icm files) will be
installed automatically.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

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® 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.

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 outlet, 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 even horizontal scanning lines at the same time,

thus distorting the picture.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

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?

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. Do not use other

solvents such as ethyl alcohol, ethanol, 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 following procedures,

1. Press "MENU" to show the OSD (On Screen Display) menu

2. Press "Left Arrow" to select the option "color" then press "MENU" to enter color setting, there are five settings as
below.

a. 6500K; this setting features the panel closed to red-white color tone.
b. 9300K; this setting features the panel closed to blue-white color tone.
c. Original; this setting load the default panel setting in terms of color tone. (Note: different panel
maker may feature a different color temperature*)
d. User Define; the user can choose his/her preference color setting by adjusting red, green, blue
color.

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: What differentiates passive matrix LCDs from active matrix LCDs?

file:///C|/Documents and Settings/effie.chen/桌面/Philips/ENGLISH/190EW8/safety/saf_faq.htm (5 of 7)96/6/5 下午 04:25:09

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

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: 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 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 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 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 ration 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?

file:///C|/Documents and Settings/effie.chen/桌面/Philips/ENGLISH/190EW8/safety/saf_faq.htm (6 of 7)96/6/5 下午 04:25:09

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

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 low 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.

Ergonomics, Ecology and Safety Standards

Q:

Does the LCD monitor conform to general safety standards?

A: Yes. Philips LCD monitors conform to the guidelines of MPR-II and TCO 99/03 standards for the control of radiation,

electromagnetic waves, energy reduction, electrical safety in the work environment and recyclability. The specification
page provides detailed data on safety standards.

Philips Pixel Defect Policy

Philips' Flat Panel Monitors 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 sub pixels 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:///C|/Documents and Settings/effie.chen/桌面/Philips/ENGLISH/190EW8/product/pixel.htm (1 of 4)96/6/5 下午 04:25:26

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 Bright dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always lit or 'on'. That is, a bright dot is a sub-pixel that stands out on the

screen when the monitor displays a dark pattern. There are three 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)

A red or blue bright dot must be more than 50 percent brighter than neighboring dots while a green bright dot is 30 percent brighter
than neighboring dots.

Black Dot Defects Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always dark or 'off'. That is, a dark dot is a sub-pixel that stands out on the

screen when the monitor displays a light pattern. There are two types of black dot defects:

Philips Pixel Defect Policy

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.

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 sub pixel defects exceeding the tolerances listed in the following tables.

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.

Aspect ratio

The width-to-height ratio of the active area of a display. In general, most monitors have an aspect ratio of 4:3. Wide monitors or TVs have
an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 16:10.

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.
Because of confusion with saturation, the use of this term should be discouraged.

C

CCFL(cold cathode fluorescent light)

These are the fluorescent light tubes providing the light for the LCD module. These tubes are generally very thin, approximately 2 mm in
diameter.

Chromaticity

That part of color specification, which does not involve illuminance. Chromaticity is two-dimensional and specified by pairs of numbers such
as dominant wavelength and purity.

CIE (Commission International de I'Eclairage)

The International Commission on Illumination, the primary international organization concerned with color and color measurement.

Color temperature

A measurement of the color of light radiated by an object while it is being heated. This measurement is express in terms of absolute scale,
(degrees Kelvin). Lower Kelvin temperatures such as 2400° K are red; higher temperatures such as 9300° K are blue. Neutral temperature
is white, at 6504° K. Philips monitors generally offers 9300° K, 6500° K, and user define.

Contrast

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. The DVI specification
meets the needs of all segments of the PC industry (workstation, desktop, laptop, etc.) and will enable these different segments to unite
around one monitor interface specification.

The DVI interface enables:

1. Reduce signal loss and video noise in signal due to less signal conversion.

2. Independent from display technology, and can be used on LCD, Plasma, LCOS, etc.

3. Plug and play through hot plug detection, EDID and DDC2B.

4. Digital and Analog support in a single connector (DVI-I only).

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 2

8

Hue

The main attribute of a color that distinguishes it from other colors. For example, a color may have a green, yellow, or purple hue. Color
defined as having hue are know as chromatic colors. White, black, and grays possess no hue.

I

IPS (In Plane Switching)

A technique of improving the viewing angle of an LCD where the liquid crystal molecules are switched in the plane of the LCD layer rather
than vertical to it.

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.

Luminance

A measure of the brightness or luminous intensity of light, usually expressed in units of Candelas per square meter (cd/m2) or foot
Lamberts. 1 fL=3.426 cd/m2.

N

Nit

A unit of luminance equal to 1 cd/m2 or 0.292 ftL.

P

Pixel

PICture Element; the smallest element on a computerized CRT or LCD image, and hence a display.

Polarizer

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.

S

sRGB

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. Move the down button to go to Color and press OK again.
Use the right button to go to sRGB. Then move the down button and press OK again to exit the OSD.

After this, please do not 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 6500K.

USB plug: An upstream and a downstream USB plug is provide for user's convenience.

T

TFT(thin film transistor)

Usually made from amorphous silicon (a-Si) and used as a switch to a charge storage device located below each sub-pixel on an active
matrix LCD.

U

USB or Universal Serial Bus

Glossary

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.

● 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 arrive on the market every day. With USB, up to 127 devices can run simultaneously on a
computer.

● USB permits "hot plug-in." There's no need to shut down, plug in, reboot and run set-up to install peripherals. And no need to go

through the reverse process to unplug a device.

In short, USB transforms today's "Plug-and-Pray" into true Plug-and-Play!

Hub

A Universal Serial Bus device that provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus.

Hubs are a key element in the plug-and-play architecture of USB. The Figure shows a typical hub. Hubs serve to simplify USB connectivity
from the user's perspective providing low cost and complexity.

Hubs are wiring concentrators and enable the multiple attachment characteristics of USB. Attachment points are referred to as ports. Each
hub converts a single attachment point into multiple attachment points. The architecture supports concatenation of multiple hubs.

The upstream port of a hub connects the hub towards the host. Each of the other downstream ports of a hub allows connection to another
hub or function. Hubs can detect, attach and detach at each downstream port and enable the distribution of power to downstream devices.
Each downstream port can be individually enabled and configured at either full or low speed. The hub isolates low speed ports from full
speed signaling.

A hub consists of two portions: the Hub Controller and Hub Repeater. The repeater is a protocol-controlled switch between the upstream
port and downstream ports. It also has hardware support for reset and suspend/resume signaling. The controller provides the interface
registers to allow communication to/from the host. Hub specific status and control commands permit the host to configure a hub and to
monitor and control its ports.

Device

A logical or physical entity that performs a function. The actual entity described depends on the context of the reference. At the lowest level,
device may refer to a single hardware component, as in a memory device. At a higher level, it may 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.

Glossary

Downstream

The direction of data flow from the host or away from the host. A downstream port is the port on a hub electrically farthest from the host that
generates downstream data traffic from the hub. Downstream ports receive upstream data traffic.

Upstream

The direction of data flow towards the host. An upstream port is the port on a device electrically closest to the host that generates upstream
data traffic from the hub. Upstream ports receive downstream data traffic.
