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. Use the down button to go to Color temperature and press OK again. Then move the down button to go to sRGB and press

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the "Designed for Windows" logo signify?

The "Designed for Windows" logo means your Philips monitor fulfills the requirements and recommendations of the PC9x (97, 98, or 99) System Design Guide and passes stringent WHQL tests.

2. What is USB?

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. Its three main benefits are:

● USB eliminates "Case angst," the fear of removing the computer case to install circuit board

cards - that often require 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 a 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!

3. What is a USB hub? Think of USB hub as a extension of USB ports. Normally, the PC provides only one or two USB ports.

To connect additional USB devices, you need a USB hub.

4. What is Philips Monitors USB hub solution?

Increasingly, monitors include USB hub functionality. But not all users need or want a USB hub. To give users freedom of choice, Philips provides an optional USB hub (type number PCUH411). The USB hub consists of two parts that are normally connected: one is functional, the other aesthetic. The aesthetic element is a removable cover. With the cover removed, the USB hub can be attached to the base or pedestal of monitor. The attached USB hub can be rotated to any position around the monitor's base. With this innovative Philips solution, your USB hub is always within reach for convenient connection and disconnection of USB peripherals.

Plug and Play will automatically enable the EPA tick box for you. In DOS or Windows 3.1, you must first make sure your PC supports power saving.

11. What is refresh rate?

file:///D|/EDFU/crt_19_5/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (3 of 14)2005-04-21 ¤W¤È 09:40:37

Frequently Asked Questions

"Refresh rate" describes the number of times an entire screen is vertically scanned each second. In other words: If a monitor's refresh rate is 85 Hz, its screen is refreshed - or vertically scanned - 85 times per second. A higher the refresh rate means better image stability and less flicker. A high refresh rate helps users who work long hours in front of a monitor avoid eye fatigue and stress. To change the refresh rate, go into "Start/Settings / Control Pannel / Display / Properties / Setting/Advance/Adaptor" Windows settings of the computer, the monitor will automatically adjust itself to the video card.

12. Why does the picture on the screen appear to flicker?

A low refresh rate or electrical interference typically causes flickering in the picture. Possible solutions include the following:

● Verify that the proper drivers are installed for your video card

● Make sure that all electrical devices (such as mobile phones) are at least 1m from the monitor

● Place the monitor in another physical location away from electrical interference

● Adjust the refresh rate to 75hz or higher.

13. How do I adjust my monitor's resolution?

Available resolutions are determined by the capabilities of your video card and graphic driver. Under Windows '95, you may select the desired available resolution through the 'Display properties/Settings' menu.

14. How can I adjust the size, position and rotation of my screen?

Depending on the model you own, you can use your CustoMax Software, On Screen Display (OSD) or control knobs located on the monitor.

15. What if I get lost when making monitor adjustments?

file:///D|/EDFU/crt_19_5/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (5 of 14)2005-04-21 ¤W¤È 09:40:37

Frequently Asked Questions

19. Will anyone else have this?

LightFrame was invented, developed and patented by Philips. It is a unique feature that you will find exclusively in Philips monitors.

20. Will LightFrame



shorten the life of a monitor?

No. Extensive testing has confirmed LightFrame does not adversely affect monitor life. Today's stateof-the-art Philips monitors employ improved phosphors and are designed for high light output.

LightFrame



normally highlights photos and videos. Though the peak brightness of the highlighted area is strongly increased, the average brightness - a determining factor for cathode deterioration - is not normally increased. In any case, a special Automatic Beam Limiter (ABL) circuit keeps a monitor 's

maximum average brightness within acceptable levels.

21. I get a message warning that my monitor 'may not support LightFrame '. I am certain my monitor does. What is wrong?

Only a Philips driver can determine if your monitor is equipped with LightFrame; a generic Windows driver cannot. Install the special Philips driver that came with your monitor. If the warning continues to

flash after your Philips driver is installed, ignore the message. LightFrame

will function properly.

22. What will happen when my system is no longer connected to a LightFrame™ enabled monitor - for example, when I take my notebook on the road?

file:///D|/EDFU/crt_19_5/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (6 of 14)2005-04-21 ¤W¤È 09:40:37

Frequently Asked Questions

Philips exclusive LightFrame feature requires the combined operation of hardware that resides in your monitor and software installed on your system. It only works when a monitor with built-in hardware

receives commands from system software. Without both the LightFrame

hardware equipped monitor

and system software, the LightFrame



does not function.

23. What is "XtraSpace Design" (XSD)?

XSD stands for XtraSpace Design, a Philips breakthrough that reduces a CRT display device's footprint. Philips XSD monitors combine the world's smallest front-to-back footprint with excellent front of screen performance.

24. How did Philips achieve XtraSpace Design?

Philips achieved this breakthrough in reduced footprint CRT display devices through short depth tubes and a focused design process that squeezed every excess millimeter out of XSD monitor desk space requirements.

25. What is Philips monitors' solution for audio?

Not all users need multimedia capabilities. To give users freedom of choice, Philips provides an optional Multimedia Base (type number: 6G3B10). The Multimedia Base replaces the easily removable standard

pedestal of the monitor.

file:///D|/EDFU/crt_19_5/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (7 of 14)2005-04-21 ¤W¤È 09:40:37

Frequently Asked Questions

26. Which models can be incorporated with the Multimedia Base?

The following models can be incorporated with the Multimedia Base: 109B5, 109E5,109F5, 107B5, 107E5,107F5, 107S5, 107T5.

27. What are Philips Multimedia Base's specifications?

See detailed Multimedia Base specifications on the product information page.

28. Why is a Multimedia Base better than separate speakers?

The major advantage of the Multimedia Base is its minimal space requirements. In fact, it hardly uses any extra space at all: monitor depth and width are unchanged. Only the monitor's height is increased by only 3 centimeters.

29. Where can I buy a multimedia base to incorporate with my Philips monitor?

Please contact your dealer/reseller for details.

30. What does Auto Calibrate do?

It makes your monitor perform better and last longer. As a monitor becomes older, brightness gradually deteriorates and its colors change. This well-known process effects all monitors. Eventually after a

file:///D|/EDFU/crt_19_5/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (8 of 14)2005-04-21 ¤W¤È 09:40:37

Frequently Asked Questions

number of years, the monitor's brightness deteriorates to below 50% of its original value. At this stage, the usable life of a monitor is considered ended. Auto Calibrate regularly readjusts color temperature and luminance to their original values.

31. How does Philips Auto Calibrate feature benefit me?

With Auto Calibrate, it takes a monitor's luminance 33 percent longer to deteriorate to the 50 percent level that marks the end of a display device's useful life. Thanks to Auto Calibrate, a monitor with a normal life of 10,000 hours, for example, would last for 13,300 hours, a full one third longer.

32. How does Auto Calibrate work?

During the calibration process, different predefined black and white images are displayed on thescreen. The beam currents of the red, green and blue cannon are accurately measured and compared to the original values stored in the monitor. By readjusting gain values of the individual cannons, deviation is reduced to zero. Default values are stored during production. If the user sets a new color temperature, this new value is saved as the new default value.

33. When should calibration be performed?

The calibration process takes less than six seconds. During this period, different specific images are displayed. After the process is finalized, the original image is redisplayed. Constant re-calibration is not required. Calibration should be performed after the monitor is warmed up. Auto Calibration takes place

when a monitor receives a signal indicating an imminent switch to its sleep mode/stand-by mode.

34. Which models of Philips monitors are equipped with Auto Calibrate feature?

file:///D|/EDFU/crt_19_5/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (9 of 14)2005-04-21 ¤W¤È 09:40:37

Frequently Asked Questions

Auto Calibrate is currently available in the new 201P, 201B and 109P.

35. The Main Menu displays OSD MAIN MENU LOCKED . Pressing the front control panels hasno effect. How can I unlock this function?

Press and hold the OSD menu key for about 10 seconds until picture displays "OSD MAIN MENU UNLOCKED"

36. My screen shows NO SYNC INPUT , how can I get rid of this?

Check the following for possible solutions:

● Bent pins on the video cable

● Make sure the computer is turned on

● Ensure the VGA Cable is properly connected

● Ensure the BNC/D-Sub connector on the rear of the monitor is in the correct position, newer

models have this option in the On Screen Display under Input Signal Selection.

● Video card may be not a VESA standard (try the monitor with another computer)

37. Why does my monitor display "Out of Range"?

The video card installed in your computer may be too high for the monitor 's specifications. Please contact your computer manufacturer for details on how to lower resolution for your operating system.

38. What is Moire? Why does my monitor have this wavy phenomenon?

Moire is a natural effect or phenomenon of CRT that has the appearance of a wavy pattern, which is repetitive and superimposed on the screen as ripple images. These are a few suggestions to help reduce or minimize the effects:

file:///D|/EDFU/crt_19_5/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (10 of 14)2005-04-21 ¤W¤È 09:40:37

Frequently Asked Questions

● Some monitors have a Moire cancellation feature, activate it to the on position or adjust the

Moire cancellation function via the OSD on the monitor.

● Change resolution to the recommended standard for the specific monitor size.

● Change Window viewing pattern/scheme to a pattern where the Moire is less visible.

● Change horizontal and vertical size to optimize the reduction of the Moire effect.

39. What is CustoMax?

CustoMax is proprietary Philips software that allows user to control parameter (e.g. Size, Color, Geometry) in place of the buttons on the front of the monitor. To install and run the CustoMax software,

you must have a USB compatible system and have a USB connection at the rear of your monitor.

40. My monitor appears to be missing one or more colors. How do I correct this?

● If the OSD menu is also missing a color, please contact service for details

● Set color temperature to 9300 color coordination

● Check the video cable for any bent pins

● Video card could be defective (try the monitor with another computer).

41. When I degauss my monitor, it makes a loud noise. Is this normal?

Yes, when degaussing your monitor via the OSD, it is normal for the monitor to make a relatively loud noise. Please be aware that many models will not degauss more than once within any given time period (up to 10 minutes). This is due to the unit having a temperature sensitive resistor. While the unit is degaussing, the resistor increases in value with heat and once it reaches a certain temperature, the resistance will rise and prevent voltage from reaching the degaussing coil. This is what stops the degausser, and this device's resistance will decrease as it cools back off, enabling the degauss function to operate again. This is an intentional design and is an industry standard, not just for Philips monitors. Please be aware that not all models in the Philips range has this manual degauss function. Some models are built with an auto degauss feature which automatically degausses the monitor when it is switched on.

Frequently Asked Questions

45. I have noticed two thin horizontal lines on the screen of my Philips monitor. Is this normal?

This phenomenon can occur with Philips 107P, 109P and 201P monitors and is normal. Your monitor is using an Aperture Grille, which consists of fine vertical wires to align the electron beams with the phosphors on the screen. To prevent these vertical wires from vibrating and to keep them properly aligned with the picture tube, two horizontal damper wires are required. These are located on one-third and on two-third from the top of the screen. The result is that you will see two very thin horizontal lines over your screen since the two wires are casting a slight shadow on the screen surface. You will find these wires (line) in any monitor from Philips and other brands using the Aperture Grille technology.

46. How can I increase the color display of my monitor?

The amount of video memory your video card holds determines the amount of colors that can be displayed on your computer screen. To get the most out of your video card, you will need to either install the latest drivers onto your computer or upgrade the video cards memory. Please check with your computer or video card manufacturer for further details.

47. Why is there no picture on my monitor?

● Check the wall socket for power. Verify that there is power by connecting another product.

● Ensure the power cable is correctly attached to both the wall socket and the monitor.

● Check that the power button is switched on.

● Unplug the monitor for approx. 1 minute and plug it in again. Switch the monitor back on.

48. Why is there no picture on my monitor even though the power LED is yellow/amber or flashing green?

● Reboot your computer while holding the Ctrl key on your computer. If you see any picture during

the boot procedure, please verify the settings of your video card (for Windows go to Control Panel and select Display).

● Check that the video cable is not damaged, bent or that any of the pins in the connector are

damaged (please be aware that some VGA connectors have one missing pin). If damaged, replace with a new cable.

● Check that the cable is attached correctly to the computer.

● Press any key on the keyboard to wake-up the computer from power saving mode.

Color temperature

A way of describing the color of a radiating source in terms of the temperature (in degrees Kelvin) of a black body radiating with the same dominant frequency as the source.

Most Philips monitors offer the possibility of setting the color temperature to any desired value.

Contrast

The ratio between the brightness of the brightest and darkest parts of a picture. The darkest part of

Glossary

a picture is set by the brightness of the unexcited phosphor, which is governed by the degree with which ambient light is reflected. Contrast is therefore reduced in conditions of high ambient light levels. Black Matrix tubes reflect less ambient light so exhibit higher contrast than other tubes.

Convergence error

Bean misalignment causing one or more of the three beams passing through the wrong aperture in the shadow mask and striking a phosphor dot in the wrong triad.

Convergence error is expressed in mm often at three well-defined points on the screen, designated A, B and C (see figure ). Also known as misconvergence.

Points where convergence error is specified

Convergence-error correction

A method of correcting for convergence error to insure that all three beams land simultaneously in the same triad. This is usually accomplished by means of special convergence-error correction coils in the deflection yoke.

Degaussing

The procedure of demagnetizing the shadow mask and associated metal parts of a picture tube at switch-on to minimize picture distortion. This is usually accomplished by means of a special degaussing coil through which a decaying alternating current is passed to generate an alternating magnetic field that gradually decays to demagnetize the tube. Some monitors offer a manual degaussing facility that can be activated at any time.

Digital control

Microprocessor-based digital control of picture parameters and video modes for complete control of picture settings and modes and instant recall of all settings at the push of a button. This is a very advanced feature that allows the user to switch to any required mode at any instant without having to spend time readjusting the picture. It is currently available in most Philips monitors.

Dot pitch

The shortest distance between two phosphor dots of the same color on the screen. The smaller the dot pitch, the better the resolution of the monitor.

Glossary

two important standards both derived from regulations originally laid down by Swedish authorities.

MPR-II

The standard originally proposed by the Swedish National Board of Measurement and Testing. It set maximum levels of electromagnetic radiation emitted by monitors, and has now been adopted as a world standard. MPR-II defines maximum permitted electrostatic, magnetic and electric field levels measured at a distance of 50 cm from the center of the monitor (see table).

TCO

In 1991, the Swedish Tjänstemannens Central Organization (TCO, Swedish confederation of Professional Employees ) set a standard even more severe than MPR-II, especially for alternating electric fields (AEF). The TCO standard is more severe since not only are the permitted field levels reduced compared with MPR-II, but the measuring distance is also reduced (see table).

Electromagnetic radiation standards

EMI (Electrical Magnetic Interference)

The electrical and/or magnetic radiation coming from the working electrical or electronic equipment.

EMS (Electrical Magnetic Sustainment)

The ability of electrical or electronic equipment to function properly in the environment with electrical and/or magnetic interference.

Flicker

Very rapid variations in picture intensity caused by the finite time required for the electron beam to scan a picture onto the screen. Two kinds of flicker occur: line flicker caused by the electron beam scanning-in each line of the picture; and frame flicker (or field flicker if the picture is interlaced) caused by the frame repetition rate of 50 frames/second. Frame flicker is noticeable with GUI and DTP software (which have a light background), and can be very disturbing, especially for those who work regularly with displays - contributing to eye strain, headaches, visual blurring, stress, etc. The

Information (INF) files store information in a specific format. The set-up functions retrieve information from the INF file to use when performing installation operations. Examples of the type of information stored in an INF file include INI and registry changes, file names, and locations of the source files on source media.

Interlaced/non-interlaced

Interlaced.

The method of writing a picture on the screen by initially writing all even lines and subsequently writing all odd lines of the picture. Result: The complete picture is composed of two interlaced half pictures (or fields). With interlacing, a vertical (or field) frequency of 50 Hz means a picture (or frame) frequency of 25 Hz.

Non-interlaced.

The method of writing a picture on the screen by successive video lines of the picture so that a full frame is written onto the screen in one vertical sweep of the beams. With a non-interlaced display, a vertical frequency of 50 Hz means a picture (or frame) frequency of 50 Hz. At any given resolution, non-interlaced modes are preferable to interlaced modes; however, generation of non-interlaced modes is more expensive.

Moiré effect

A fringe pattern arising from the interference between two superimposed line patterns.

In a monitor it comes from the interference between the shadow mask pattern and the video information (video moiré), and between the shadow mask pattern and the horizontal line pattern (scan moiré). It shows itself as wavy patterns on the screen and becomes more noticeable as monitor resolution increases. Since the video signal varies continuously, little can be done about video moiré. Scan moiré depends on the horizontal scanning frequency and can be alleviated by appropriate choice of frequency. Autoscan (MultiSync) monitors, which operate over a range of scanning frequencies, may sometimes exhibit moiré in certain video modes.

Overscan

The practice in which areas without useful video information are scanned outside the visible screen area in order to make maximum use of the screen for display of active video information. This practice is occasionally necessary because some video cards generate a video pattern that is smaller than the visible screen area, resulting in an image that is smaller (and less legible) than it needs to be.

Parallelogram Distortion

See Geometric distortion.

Phosphor

Generic name for the class of substances that exhibit luminescence. To produce a picture on screen, phosphors are deposited on the inner surface of the picture-tube screen and excited into luminescence by the electron beam. Typical examples of phosphors are P22 medium shortpersistence phosphor and EBU high-color-saturation phosphor.

Pin-cushion Distortion

See Geometric distortion.

Pixel

Abbreviation for picture element, the smallest element of the picture that can be displayed on the screen. The smaller the pixel size, the better the resolution of the monitor. Pixel size is determined by the size of the electron spot on the screen and not necessarily by the phosphor dot pitch (the size of the triad). Thus, a monitor with a large electron spot covering several triads can exhibit poor resolution even though its dot pitch is small.

Pixel frequency

The number of pixels that can be written in a video line per second.
