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 (22").
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 (22").
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 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 Menu button, the Setup 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.
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 "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.
d. Gamma; The five settings are 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, and 2.6.
*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
Kelvin temperatures such as 2004K are red; higher temperatures such as 9300K are
blue. Neutral temperature is white, at 6504K.
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
1680x1050@60Hz for 22".
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
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 CRT 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 CRT. 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.

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.

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) (available for selective models)
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).
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.
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.
RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE
N
Nit
A unit of luminance equal to 1 cd/m2 or 0.292 ftL.
