please use the monitor in a location that falls within the following temperature and
humidity ranges.
❍ Temperature: 5-35°C 41-95°F
❍ Humidity: 20-80% RH
Service:
Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally, or you are
not sure what procedure to take when the operating instructions given in this
manual have been followed.
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.
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".
A: Simply press the OK button, then select 'Reset' to recall all of the original factory
settings.
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.
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.
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.
A: Unlike CRT display technology, in which the speed of the electron beam is swept

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
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.
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.
A:Yes, you can change your color setting through OSD control as the following
procedures,
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. Original; this setting load the default panel setting in terms of color
tone. (Note: different panel maker may feature a different color
temperature*)
d. sRGB; this is a standard setting for ensuring correct exchange of
colors between different device (e.g. digital cameras, monitors, printers,
scanners, etc.)
e. User Define; the user can choose his/her preference color setting by
adjusting red, green, blue color.
*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.
A: Yes. Philips LCD monitors have this optional feature. For standard VESA mount
holes on the rear cover allows the user to mount the Philips monitor on most of the
VESA standard arms or accessories. We recommend to contact your Philips sales
representative for more information.
Screen Adjustments
A: The FPadjust program generates alignment patterns that help you adjust monitor
settings such as Contrast, Brightness, Horizontal Position, Vertical Position, Phase
and Clock for optimal performance.
Q: When I install my monitor, how do I get the best performance from the monitor?
A:
1. For best performance, make sure your display settings are set at
1024X768@60Hz for 15 ". Note: You can check the current display settings by
pressing the OSD OK button once. The current display mode is shown in OSD
first page.
2. To install the Flat Panel Adjust (FPadjust) program located on the monitor
setup CD-ROM, open the CD-ROM and double-click the FP_setup4.3.exe
icon. This will install FP Adjust automatically and place a shortcut on your
desktop.
3. Run FPadjust by double clicking the shortcut. Follow the instructions step by
step to optimize image performance with your system's video controller.
A: Because LCDs do not use an electron gun, they do not generate the same amount
of radiation at the screen surface.
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.
A: Yes, the monitors are Plug-and-Play compatible with Windows® 95, 98, 2000 and
XP.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Q&A
SmartControl is a control panel extension, which helps users to adjust monitor performances and
settings by a software interface, instead of the hardware buttons at the front bezel of the monitors.
Q2. I change the monitor on a PC to a different one and the SmartControl becomes un-usable, what
do I do?
A. Restart your PC and see if SmartControl can work. Otherwise, you will need to remove and re-
install SmartControl to ensure proper driver is installed.
Q3. The SmartControl functions well at the beginning, but it is not workable, what can I do?
A. If the following actions were executed, the monitor driver may need to be re-installed.
To find out, please right click My Computer and click on Properties->Hardware-> Device Manager.
If you see "Plug and Play Monitor" shows under Monitor, then you need to re-install. Simply remove
SmartControl and re-install it.
Q4. After installing SmartControl, when clicking on SmartControl tab, nothing shows up after a while
or a failure message shows, what happened?
A. It might be your graphic adaptor is not compatible with the SmartControl. If your graphic adaptor
is one of the above mentioned brands, try to download the most updated graphic adaptor driver
from corresponding companies’ web site. Install the driver. Remove SmartControl, and re-install it
once more.
If it is still not working, we are sorry that the graphic adaptor is not supported. Please pay attention
to Philips’ web site for any updated SmartControl driver available.
Q5. When I click on Product Information, only partial information is shown, what happened?
A. It might be your graphic card adaptor driver is not the most updated version which fully
supporting DDC/CI interface. Please try to download the most updated graphic adaptor driver from
corresponding companies’ web site. Install the driver. Remove SmartControl, and re-install it once
more.
Q6. In a monitor with the LightFrame feature, when LightFrame is enabled, sRGB adjustment in
SmartControl is not responding, why?
A. When LightFrame is enabled, the sRGB adjustment is disabled automatically. To use sRGB, you
need to disable LightFrame first.
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.
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:
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 pixel 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.
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.

Glossary
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
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).
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
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.
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.
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
Contrast ratio
The ratio of luminance between the brightest white pattern and the darkest black pattern.
D-SUB
A VGA Analog input connector. Your monitor comes with a D-Sub cable.
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.
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).
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
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 28 = 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Other:
USB plug: An upstream and a downstream USB plug is provide for user's convenience.
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.
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.
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.
Expressed in Hz, it is the number of frames (complete pictures) written to the screen every second.
