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:

• To protect your display from possible damage, do not put excessive pressure on

the LCD panel. When moving your monitor, grasp the frame to lift; do not lift the
monitor by placing your hand or fingers on the LCD panel.

• 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 attaching 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 front of the screen. This is a well­known phenomenon that is caused by the shortcomings inherent in LCD
technology. In most cases, the afterimage will disappear gradually over a period of
time after the power has been switched off. Be aware, that the afterimage symptom
cannot be repaired and is not covered under warranty.

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 20": 1680x1050 @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 1680x1050 pixels (20").

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 1680x1050@60Hz (20").

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.

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 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 from D-sub input.

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.

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 "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 five settings as below.

a. Original; this setting load the default panel setting in terms of
color tone. (Note: different panel maker may feature a different
color temperature*)
b. 9300K; this setting features the panel closed to blue-white color
tone.
c. 6500K; this setting features the panel closed to red-white color
tone.
d. sRGB; this is a standard setting for ensuring correct exchange
of colors between different device (e.g. digital cameras, monitors,
printers, scanners, etc.)
e. 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. Four 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.

Screen Adjustments

Q:

What is the FPadjust program on the CD-ROM?

A: The FPadjust program generates alignment patterns that help you adjust

monitor settings such as Contrast, Brightness, Horizontal Position, Vertical
Position, Phase and Clock for optimal performance.

Q: When I install my monitor, how do I get the best performance from the monitor?

A:

1.

For best performance, make sure your display settings are set at
1680x1050@60Hz for 20". 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.

2. To install the Flat Panel Adjust (FPadjust) program located on the

monitor setup CD-ROM, open the CD-ROM and double-click the
FP_setup4.3.exe icon. This will install FP Adjust automatically and place
a shortcut on your desktop.

3. Run FPadjust by double clicking the shortcut. Follow the instructions

step by step to optimize image performance with your system's video
controller.

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 dealer/retailer 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: My monitor has no picture when connect to DVI-I w/ analog signal on the PC via DVI-D

SUB cable after startup PC. What should I do?

A: Try to change to DVI-I w/ digital via DVI cable and re-startup PC. DVI-I

standard basically combines both analog and digital in single connector. The
monitor also contains two types of analog and digital EDID. Digital EDID will set
as the default and analog EDID will automatically change refer to analog signal.
This is likely that your PC read EDID type before making decision to send
analog or digital from DVI-I port. However, this compatibility limitation is rarely
found on PC, workstation, or Mac.

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.

Q: What can I do if my USB peripherals don't work with the USB hub of my monitor?

A: If you experience the problem, just detach and re-attach the USB hub cable

between PC and your monitor, then refresh your PC device manager (Start >
Setting > Control panel > System > Hardware > Device manager > Refresh) or
reboot your PC and the problem can be solved by above procedures.

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.

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

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.
