FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
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 17 ": 1280 x 1024 @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 1280 x 1024 pixels (17").
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 1280 x
1024@60Hz (17").
5. Shut down your computer, disconnect your old monitor and reconnect your Philips LCD monitor.
6. Turn on your monitor and then turn on your PC.
Q: What does 'refresh rate' mean in connection with an LCD monitor?
A: The refresh rate is of much less relevance for LCD monitors. LCD monitors display a stable, flicker-
free image at 60Hz. There is no visible difference between 85Hz and 60Hz.
Q: What are the .inf and .icm files on the CD-ROM? How do I install the drivers (.inf and .
icm)?
A: These are the driver files for your monitor. Follow the instructions in your user manual to install the
drivers. Your computer may ask you for monitor drivers (.inf and .icm files) or a driver disk when you first
install your monitor. Follow the instructions to insert the ( companion CD-ROM) included in this package.
Monitor drivers (.inf and .icm files) will be installed automatically.
Q: How do I adjust the resolution?
file:///D|/cdmanual/philips/08/170V9/lcd/manual/ENGLISH/170V9/safety/saf_faq.htm（第1／6页）2/23/20083:27:41PM
FAQs(FrequentlyAskedQuestions)
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 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?
file:///D|/cdmanual/philips/08/170V9/lcd/manual/ENGLISH/170V9/safety/saf_faq.htm（第2／6页）2/23/20083:27:41PM
FAQs(FrequentlyAskedQuestions)
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 five
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.)
*A measurement of the color of light radiated by an object while it is being heated. This measurement is expressed in terms of
absolute scale, (degrees Kelvin). Lower Kevin temperatures such as 2004K are red; higher temperatures such as 9300K are
blue. Neutral temperature is white, at 6504K.

FAQs(FrequentlyAskedQuestions)
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.

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, 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.

FAQs(FrequentlyAskedQuestions)
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 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?
file:///D|/cdmanual/philips/08/170V9/lcd/manual/ENGLISH/170V9/safety/saf_faq.htm（第5／6页）2/23/20083:27:41PM
FAQs(FrequentlyAskedQuestions)
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.
Ergonomics, Ecology and Safety Standards
Q: What is the CE mark?
A: The CE (Conformité Européenne) mark is required to be displayed on all regulated products offered
for sale on the European market. This 'CE' mark means that a product complies with the relevant
European Directive. A European Directive is a European 'Law' that relates to health, safety, environment
and consumer protection, much the same as the U.S. National Electrical Code and UL Standards.
Q: Does the LCD monitor conform to general safety standards?
A: Yes. Philips LCD monitors conform to the guidelines of MPR-II and TCO 99/03 standards for the
control of radiation, electromagnetic waves, energy reduction, electrical safety in the work environment
and recyclability. The specification page provides detailed data on safety standards.

RegulatoryInformation
3. Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off
and an appropriate 3-pin plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5A. If a
plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not
be greater than 5A.
Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock
hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
BLUE - "NEUTRAL" ("N")
BROWN - "LIVE" ("L")
GREEN & YELLOW - "GROUND" ("G")
1. The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be connected to the terminal in
the plug which is marked with the letter "G" or by the Ground symbol
or coloured GREEN or GREEN AND YELLOW.
2. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter "N" or coloured BLACK.
3. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which marked
with the letter "L" or coloured RED.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is
clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the three wires.

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 17" 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:///D|/cdmanual/philips/08/170V9/lcd/manual/ENGLISH/170V9/product/pixel.htm（第1／3页）2/23/20083:28:14PM
PhilipsPixelDefectPolicy
Two adjacent lit sub pixels:
- Red + Blue = Purple
- Red + Green = Yellow
Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one
white pixel)
One lit red, green or blue sub 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
Proximity of Pixel Defects
Two or three adjacent dark sub pixels
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.

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. 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 Analog/ Digital converter is 8 bit, then the
8
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)
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.
Pixel
PICture Element; the smallest element on a computerized CRT or LCD image, and hence a display.
Polarizer

Glossary
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.

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.
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.
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.
