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": 1280x1024 @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 1280x1024 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
1280x1024@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.
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 OK 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.
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.
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 "OK" to show the OSD (On Screen Display) menu
2. Press "Down Arrow" to select the option "Color" then press "OK" to enter color setting, there are three
settings as below.
a. Color Temperature; The six settings are 5000K, 6500K, 7500K, 8200K, 9300K and
11500K. With settings in the 5000K range the panel appears ‘warm,' with a red-white color
tone, while a 11500K temperature yields ‘cool, blue-white toning."
b. sRGB; this is a standard setting for ensuring correct exchange of colors between different
device (e.g. digital cameras, monitors, printers, scanners, etc)
c. User Define; the user can choose his/her preference color setting by adjusting red, green
blue color.
*A measurement of the color of light radiated by an object while it is being heated. This measurement is
expressed in terms of absolute scale, (degrees Kelvin). Lower Kevin temperatures such as 2004K are
red; higher temperatures such as 9300K are blue. Neutral temperature is white, at 6504K.
Q: Can the Philips LCD Monitor be mounted on the wall?
A: Yes. Philips LCD monitors have this optional feature. For standard VESA mount holes on the rear
cover allows the user to mount the Philips monitor on most of the VESA standard arms or accessories.
We recommend to contact your Philips sales representative for more information.
When I install my monitor, how do I get the best performance from the monitor?
A:For best performance, make sure your display settings are set at 1280x1024@60Hz for 19". Note:
You can check the current display settings by pressing the OSD OK button once. The current display
mode is shown in OSD first page.
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.

Compatibility with other Peripherals
Q:
Can I connect my LCD monitor to any PC, workstation or Mac?
A: Yes. All Philips LCD monitors are fully compatible with standard PCs, Macs and workstations. You
may need a cable adapter to connect the monitor to your Mac system. Please contact your Philips sales
representative for more information.
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.
Q: What is USB (Universal Serial Bus)?
A: 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. There are three main benefits of USB. USB eliminates "case anxiety," the fear
of removing the computer case to install circuit board cards -- that often requires 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 one 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!
Please refer to glossary for more information about USB.
Q: What is a USB hub ?
A: A USB hub provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus. A hub's upstream port
connects a hub to the host, usually a PC. Multiple downstream ports in a hub allows connection to
another hub or device, such as a USB keyboard, camera or printer.

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?
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?
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.

Pin Assignment

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 19" 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.
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 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)
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. These are the types of black dot defects:
One dark sub pixelTwo 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.
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.
BRIGHT DOT DEFECTSACCEPTABLE LEVEL

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.
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
The luminance variation between light and dark areas in an image.
The ratio of luminance between the brightest white pattern and the darkest black pattern.

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).

E
Energy Star Computers Program
An energy conservation program launched by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), promotes the manufacture
and marketing of energy-efficient office automation equipment. Companies joining this program, must be willing to commit
themselves to manufacture one or more products capable of going into a low -power state (< 30 W) either after a period
of inactivity, or after a predetermined time selected by the user.

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
= 256 levels. For a color monitor, R.G.B. each color hads 256 levels. Thus, total color can
display is 256x256x256= 16.7 million.
H
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.
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.
RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE
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.
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
SmartContrast
Unique technology that dynamically analyzes displayed content and automatically optimizes a LCD monitor's contrast
ratio for maximum visual clarity and viewing enjoyment, stepping up backlighting for clearer, crisper and brighter images
or dimming backlighting for clear display of images on dark backgrounds. For monitors with SmartContrast, contrast ratio
achieves 3000:1, the highest available today in a desktop LCD monitor.
SmartControl II
SmartControl II is monitor-based software with an easy-to-use on-screen graphic interface that guides you through finetuning resolution, color calibration and other display settings including brightness, contrast, clock & phase, position, RGB,
white point and - on models with onboard speakers - volume adjustments.
SmartImage
SmartImage provides presets that optimize display for different types of content, dynamically adjusting brightness,
contrast, color and sharpness in real time. Whether you're working with text applications, displaying images or watching a
video, Philips SmartImage delivers great optimized LCD display performance
