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 : 1366 x 768 @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 1366 x 768 pixels .  
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  
1366 x 768@60Hz .

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 .

FAQs(FrequentlyAskedQuestions)  
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, 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

FAQs(FrequentlyAskedQuestions)  
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 "Arrow" to select the option "color" then press "MENU" to enter color setting,  
there are four settings as below.  
a. 6500K; this setting features the panel closed to red-white color tone.  
b. 9300K; this setting features the panel closed to blue-white color tone.  
c. User Define; the user can choose his/her preference color setting by  
adjusting red, green, blue color.  
d. sRGB; this is a standard setting for ensuring correct exchange of  
colors between different device (e.g. digital cameras, monitors, printers,  
scanners, etc.)

VESA standard arms or accessories. We recommend to contact your Philips sales  
representative for more information.  
Screen Adjustments  
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: Are Philips LCD monitors Plug-and-Play?  
A: Yes, the monitors are Plug-and-Play compatible with Windows® 95, 98, 2000, XP  
and Vista.  
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,

FAQs(FrequentlyAskedQuestions)  
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 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  
file:///E|/manualSPEC/813/spec/cd/16/Q70G16C18131A 160EL1/CD/lcd/manual/ENGLISH/160EL1/safety/saf_faq.htm56)2010-1-1111:53:04  
FAQs(FrequentlyAskedQuestions)  
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 GROUNDING.  
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

PhilipsPixelDefectPolicy  
Philips Pixel Defect Policy  
Philips' Flat Panel Monitors Pixel Defect Policy  
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  
three types of bright dot defects:  
file:///E|/manualSPEC/813/spec/cd/16/Q70G16C18131A 160EL1/CD/lcd/manual/ENGLISH/160EL1/product/pixel.htm13)2010-1-1111:53:25  
   
PhilipsPixelDefectPolicy  
Two adjacent lit sub pixels:  
- Red + Blue = Purple  
- Red + Green = Yellow  
One lit red, green or blue sub  
pixel  
Three adjacent lit sub pixels  
(one white pixel)  
- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)  
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. There are two  
types of black dot defects:  
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.

Thank you for purchasing this Philips monitor.  
All Philips monitors are designed and manufactured to high standards and deliver  
high-quality performance, ease of use and ease of installation. Should you  
encounter any difficulties while installing or using this product, please contact the  
Philips helpdesk directly to benefit from your Philips F1rst Choice Warranty. This  
three-year service warranty entitles you to a swap model on-site if your monitor

A
Active matrix  
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.  
Backlight

Glossary  
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.  
file:///E|/manualSPEC/813/spec/cd/16/Q70G16C18131A 160EL1/CD/lcd/manual/ENGLISH/160EL1/glossary/glossary.htm29)2010-1-1111:54:13  
 
Glossary  
Contrast ratio  
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.

Glossary  
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.  
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  
8
Analog/ Digital converter is 8 bit, then the monitor can display at most 2 = 256 levels. For a color  
monitor, R.G.B. each color hads 256 levels. Thus, total color can display is 256x256x256= 16.7  
million.  
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.  
IPS (In Plane Switching)  
file:///E|/manualSPEC/813/spec/cd/16/Q70G16C18131A 160EL1/CD/lcd/manual/ENGLISH/160EL1/glossary/glossary.htm49)2010-1-1111:54:14  
     
Glossary  
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.  
Nit  
A unit of luminance equal to 1 cd/m2 or 0.292 ftL.

Glossary  
Pixel  
PICture Element; the smallest element on a computerized CRT or LCD image, and hence a display.  
Polarizer  
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.  
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
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. Move the down  
button to go to Color and press OK again. Use the right button to go to sRGB. Then move the down  
button and press OK again to exit the OSD.  
After this, please do not change the brightness or contrast setting of your monitor. If you change  
either of these, the monitor will exit the sRGB mode and go to a color temperature setting of 6500K.

Glossary  
USB plug: An upstream and a downstream USB plug is provide for user's convenience.  
TFT(thin film transistor)  
Usually made from amorphous silicon (a-Si) and used as a switch to a charge storage device  
located below each sub-pixel on an active matrix LCD.  
U
USB or Universal Serial Bus  
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.  
USB eliminates "case anxiety" -- the fear of removing the computer case to install add-on  
peripherals. USB also eliminates adjustment of complicated IRQ settings when installing  
new 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 arrive on the market every day. With USB, up to 127 devices can run  
simultaneously on a computer.  
USB permits "hot plug-in." There's no need to shut down, plug in, reboot and run set-up to  
install peripherals. And no need to go through the reverse process to unplug a device.  
In short, USB transforms today's "Plug-and-Pray" into true Plug-and-Play!  
Hub  
A Universal Serial Bus device that provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus.  
Hubs are a key element in the plug-and-play architecture of USB. The Figure shows a typical hub.  
Hubs serve to simplify USB connectivity from the user's perspective providing low cost and  
complexity.  
Hubs are wiring concentrators and enable the multiple attachment characteristics of USB.  
Attachment points are referred to as ports. Each hub converts a single attachment point into  
multiple attachment points. The architecture supports concatenation of multiple hubs.  
file:///E|/manualSPEC/813/spec/cd/16/Q70G16C18131A 160EL1/CD/lcd/manual/ENGLISH/160EL1/glossary/glossary.htm79)2010-1-1111:54:14  
   
Glossary  
The upstream port of a hub connects the hub towards the host. Each of the other downstream ports  
of a hub allows connection to another hub or function. Hubs can detect, attach and detach at each  
downstream port and enable the distribution of power to downstream devices. Each downstream  
port can be individually enabled and configured at either full or low speed. The hub isolates low  
speed ports from full speed signaling.  
A hub consists of two portions: the Hub Controller and Hub Repeater. The repeater is a protocol-  
controlled switch between the upstream port and downstream ports. It also has hardware support  
for reset and suspend/resume signaling. The controller provides the interface registers to allow  
communication to/from the host. Hub specific status and control commands permit the host to  
configure a hub and to monitor and control its ports.  
Device  
A logical or physical entity that performs a function. The actual entity described depends on the  
context of the reference. At the lowest level, device may refer to a single hardware component, as  
in a memory device. At a higher level, it may refer to a collection of hardware components that  
perform a particular function, such as a Universal Serial Bus interface device. At an even higher  
level, device may refer to the function performed by an entity attached to the Universal Serial Bus;  
for example, a data/FAX modem device. Devices may be physical, electrical, addressable, and  
logical.  
Downstream  
The direction of data flow from the host or away from the host. A downstream port is the port on a  
hub electrically farthest from the host that generates downstream data traffic from the hub.  
Downstream ports receive upstream data traffic.  
file:///E|/manualSPEC/813/spec/cd/16/Q70G16C18131A 160EL1/CD/lcd/manual/ENGLISH/160EL1/glossary/glossary.htm89)2010-1-1111:54:14  
Glossary  
Upstream  
The direction of data flow towards the host. An upstream port is the port on a device electrically  
closest to the host that generates upstream data traffic from the hub. Upstream ports receive  
downstream data traffic.  
V
Vertical refresh rate  
Expressed in Hz, it is the number of frames (complete pictures) written to the screen every second.
