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:

● 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 many 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.

● If turning off the monitor by detaching power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds

before attach 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.

● When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.

● 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 the front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by the shortcomings inherent in the 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 after-image symptom cannot be repaired and is not covered under warranty.

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, at PC mode, open the OSD by pressing the MENU button of your monitor. Use the down button to go to COLOR SETTINGS and press MENU again. Then move the down button to go to NORMAL COLOR and press MENU again.

General FAQs

When I install my monitor what should I do if the screen shows 'Cannot display this video

mode'?

A: Recommended video mode for Philips 42": 1360x768 @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 1360x768 pixels (42").

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

1360x768@60Hz (42").

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 should I do when screen shows: THIS IS 85HZ OVERSCAN, CHANGE COMPUTER

DISPLAY INPUT TO 1360 x 768 @60HZ?

A: It means the signal input from your PC is 85Hz -- outside the range that the

monitor can display. New Generation LCD intelligent monitor capabilities temporarily override the overscan, providing you with 10 minutes to reset timing to recommended settings.

Here's how:

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Go to your Windows Start menu. Select Settings, then Control Panel. Select Display. Move to Settings and click on the Advanced button. Under Adaptor, change the refresh rate to 56~75.

You have 10 minutes to complete the operation; if you do not complete within 10 minutes, power off and re-power on monitor to enter changes.

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.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: What is the Auto function?

A: The AUTO adjustment key restores the optimal screen position, phase and clock

settings at the press of a single button – without the need to navigate through OSD 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 to the Monitor.

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. An optional protective cover with greater scratch resistance is also available.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

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 the Philips LCD Monitor be mounted on the wall or used as a touch panel?

A: Yes. Philips LCD monitors have this optional feature. The standard VESA mount

holes on the back cover allows the user to mount the Philips monitor on any VESA standard ARM or accessories. Touch panels are being developed for future applications. Check with your Philips sales representative for more information.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

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

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 and

XP.

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

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: How are LCDs made?

A: LCDs are created from two glass plates separated from each other at a distance

of a few microns. The plates are filled with liquid crystal and then sealed together. The top plate is colored with an RGB pattern to make the color filter. Polarizers are then glued to both plates. This combination is sometimes called 'glass' or 'cell.' The LCD cell is assembled into a 'module' by adding the backlight, driver electronics and frame.

Q: What is polarization ?

file:///D|/My%20Documents/dfu/BDL_27/english/420wn6/SAFETY/SAF_FAQ.HTM (6 of 9)2006-03-10 1:33:57 PM

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

A: Polarization is basically directing light to shine in one direction. Light is

electromagnetic waves. Electric and magnetic fields oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the propagation of the light beam. The direction of these fields is called the 'polarization direction'. Normal or non-polarized light has fields in several directions; polarized light has a field in only one direction.

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: How does a TFT LCD Panel work?

A: On each column and row of the TFT LCD panel, a data source drive and a gate

drive are attached, respectively. The TFT drain of each cell is connected to the electrode. The molecular arrangement of liquid crystal elements differ according to whether it is impressed with voltage or not. It varies the direction of polarized light and the amount of light by letting it through different arrays of liquid crystal elements. When two polarized filters are arranged vertically on a polarized light pole, the light that passes through the upper polarized panel is turned 90 degrees along with the spiral structure of the liquid crystal molecules and goes through the polarized filter at the bottom. When impressed with voltage, liquid crystal molecules are arranged vertically from the original spiral structure and the direction of the light is not turned through 90 degrees. In this case, light that comes through the top polarized panel may not go through the polarized panel at the bottom.

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

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

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 free of Electro Magnetic Interference?

file:///D|/My%20Documents/dfu/BDL_27/english/420wn6/SAFETY/SAF_FAQ.HTM (8 of 9)2006-03-10 1:33:57 PM

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

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 Pixel Defect Policy

Product Features • Technical Specifications • Resolution and Preset Modes • Automatic Power Saving • Physical Specification • Pin Assignment • Product Views

Philips' LCD Panel Pixel Defect Policy

Philips strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of the industry's most advanced manufacturing processes and practise 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 subpixels 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:///D|/My%20Documents/dfu/BDL_27/english/420wn6/PRODUCT/PIXEL.HTM (1 of 4)2006-03-10 1:34:05 PM

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 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:

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.

BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL

MODEL

BDL4221V

2. Enabling The IR Remote Control

2.1 Monitor Address

To allow individual control, a 3-digit address (decimal format) is assigned to each monitor that can be modified by the user. The default address set in the factory is 000.

2.2 Enabling and disabling the IR remote control(Reserved)

If the remote controller is disabled by the SICP command in section 3.3.2.9, the remote controller doesn’t work since the monitor is powered on. It is possible to enable or disable the remote control device on the addressed monitor by sending the following key code:

<UP>1<UP> XXX Enable remote control on the addressed (XXX) monitor <DN>0<DN> XXX Disable remote control on the addressed (XXX) monitor

Where <UP> and <DN> stand for the “UP” and “DOWN” cursor buttons on the IR remote controller (see also Fig. 1 seconds, or the input sequence will be reset.

]

). The input of two consecutive buttons cannot exceed 3

2.3 Changing the monitor address(Reserved)

It is possible to modify the monitor address by means of the following two commands:

<UP>9<UP> NNN Set a new address (NNN), also enabling the remote control <DN>9<DN> NNN Set a new address (NNN), also disabling the remote control

The input of two consecutive buttons cannot exceed 3 seconds, or the input sequence will be reset. When using the above commands, please be sure that only the relevant monitor is switched on, in order to avoid interference with the other ones.

2.4 Notice(Reserved)

If the panel is on stand-by, it wakes up after receiving one of the above commands. If not used for more than 30 seconds (that counts since the last button input is received), the IR interface is automatically disabled.

3. Serial Interface Communication Protocol

3.1 General specifications

3.1.1 Protocol definition

Communication to the main monitor microprocessor is possible through the serial port, which support a communication protocol dedicated to BDS only. The protocol is specifically designed to allow data communication in half duplex multi-point environments, but it can also be used for half duplex point-to-point RS-232 communication.

3.1.2 Communication characteristics

A half duplex communication is implemented starting from the concept of a master-slave structure, where the monitor is supposed to be the slave. The first action is always taken by the master, which can be either a built-in PC-based video controller in a MASTER monitor or any external device (acting a server) interfaced to the monitor. After sending a command or a request in the appropriate format (see section 3.2), the master receives form the slave an acknowledgement, which tells the transmitter whether the command is not valid (or not executable, anyway) or it is accepted. In case of a request, the requested information is sent back and it becomes the acknowledgement by itself. If the poll sequence has been sent, the acknowledgement tells the transmitter the monitor status, i.e. whether it is ready or busy and other information.

3.1.3 RS232 pin assignment

There is a 9-pin male connector on the set for RS232 communication. The pin assignment is as following table.

3.1.4 RS232 settings

This section describes the parameters used during the whole communication process. Baud rate 57600 bps

3.2 Data frame

3.2.1 Poll sequence: frame format

The poll sequence must be transmitted before sending any command, to check whether the monitor is ready to accept a command or it is busy. The poll message in enclosed in a frame that has the following format:

where: <Start> = <Esc> <$>, i.e. ASCII characters [1Bh] and [24h]. <Address> = 3 ASCII characters each of which ranging from [30h] to [39h], which are

used as monitor address. <E> = the ASCII character [45h]. <Stop> = <;>, i.e. the ASCII character [3Bh].

3.2.2 Acknowledge to poll sequence: frame format

Once the monitor has received the poll sequence, it returns the following message:

where: <Ack Flag> = <Esc> <%>, i.e. ASCII characters [1Bh] and [25h]. <Address> = 3 ASCII characters each of which ranging from [30h] to [39h], which are

used as monitor address. <Status> = 2 ASCII characters (ranging from [30h] to [39h], i.e. digits <0> to <9>,

and from [41h] to [46h]), i.e. letters <A> to <F>), representing the most

significant nibble (bit 7 to bit 4) and the least significant nibble (bit 3 to

bit 0) of the Status byte, respectively. The meaning of the bits in the status byte is as follows: Bit [7]: set to 0 (not used, reserved)

Bit [6]: set to 0 (not used, reserved) Bit [5]: set to 0 (not used, reserved) Bit [4]: set to 0 (not used, reserved) Bit [3]: set to 0 (not used, reserved) Bit [2]: Overheated 0 = Normal 1 = Overheated

Bit [1]: Standby 0 = Normal 1 = Standby Bit [0]: Ready 0 = Not Ready 1 = Ready

<Stop> = <;>, i.e. the ASCII character [3Bh].

Note: While Standby bit is set, the SICP engine accepts only STANDBY command in miscellaneous group is accepted.

3.2.3 General sequence: frame format

A message can be sent to the monitor to execute a command or to ask for any information; each message is enclosed in a frame, which consists of the following:

where: <Start> = <Esc> <$>, i.e. ASCII characters [1Bh] and [24h]. <Address> = 3 ASCII characters each of which ranging from [30h] to [39h], which are

used as monitor address. <Group> = An ASCII character that identifies the command type selected among

the list below: <G> [47h] = Geometry Group

<M> [4Dh] = Miscellaneous Group <P> [50h] = Picture Group <A> [41h] = Audio Group <D> [44h] = Debug Group(Reserved)
