Introduction  
Philips LightFrame™ feature enriches the experience of pictures and video on a Philips CRT (picture tube)  
monitor. LightFrame™ will boost the brightness and sharpness of photos and videos on the monitor screen.  
To control the LightFrame™ feature in your monitor, you have to install the LightFrame™ application which  
you will find on this CD-ROM.  
Note  
Philips LightFrame™ will only work with monitors that have been built to use this software. Earlier Philips  
monitors or other manufacturers monitors will not work with this special software. It is recommended that  
you install this software only on a Philips monitor designed to use it. These monitors can be identified by the  
LightFrame™ logo on the front of the monitor.  
This software is not designed for use with LCD flat screen monitors.  
LightFrame™ will work with true Windows-based programs and DOS-based programs that operate in a  
Windows environment. It will not work with DOS-based programs operating only in a DOS environment.  
Language Selection  
While English is the default language of LightFrame™, the User Interface can be set up to operate in Dutch,

LightFrame™ 3 -- Frequently Asked Questions (and answers)  
LightFrame™  
Q: Is LightFrame™ 2 compatible with LightFrame™ 3?  
A: No. If you run LightFrame™; 1 or 2 software with a Philips LightFrame™ 3 monitor, nothing will happen.  
Q:Can I use LightFrame™ 3 software on my LightFrame™ 1 / 2 monitor.  
A:No for a LightFrame™ 1 or 2 monitor you need to use LightFrame™ 1 or 2 software. It is however  
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17/edoc/english/107P/PRODUCT/PRODUCT.HTM (2 of 9) [6/25/2003 10:03:56 AM]  
107P Product Information  
possible to use the LightFrame™ 2 software on a LightFrame™ 1 monitor.  
Q:What is the difference between LightFrame™ 1, LightFrame™ 2 and LightFrame™ 3?  
A:LightFrame™ 1 was the very first generation of the LightFrame™ feature introduced by Philips. In that  
version the user needs to manually turn on/off the feature and select the window or area to apply it to.  
LightFrame™ 2 offers the automatic detection in Internet Explorer on top of the LightFrame™ 1 functions.  
With this feature LightFrame™ will automatically scan a web page in Internet Explorer, find the largest  
picture and enhance it.  
LightFrame™ 3 offers everything that LightFrame™ 2 has but now with the possibility to enhance multiple  
pictures at the same time. So in a web page LightFrame™ will find all the pictures and enhance them  
simultaneously or in a photo viewing application you can enhance multiple photos at once. Furthermore  
LightFrame™ 3 comes with an easy to activate full screen function. This is especially handy for games and  
movies. Just one click on the full screen button and LightFrame™ enhances your total monitor.  
Q:Can I upgrade my current Philips monitor to LightFrame™ 3?  
A:No. For LightFrame™ 3 Philips developed special hardware which is build into the monitor. Therefore  
upgrading from LightFrame™ 1 or 2 to 3 is not possible. It is however possible to upgrade your  
LightFrame™ 1 monitor to LightFrame™ 2 by installing the LightFrame™ 2 software.  
Q:Can I install LightFrame™ 3 over an older version?  
A:When you install LightFrame™ 3 the setup wizard will scan your system to check if you have an older  
version installed. If so, the setup wizard will remove that version before continuing with the installation of the  
new version. Please be aware that for LightFrame™ 3 you also need a monitor which is capable of running  
the LightFrame™ 3 feature.  
Q:How can I tell which version LightFrame™ my monitor can support?  
A:To check which version of LightFrame™ is supported by your monitor check the LightFrame logo which  
you will find on the top, right-hand corner of the monitor. If this logo has a small 3 in it, your monitor is ready  
for LightFrame™ 3. Otherwise you should use the LightFrame™ 1 or 2 software.  
Q: How many windows can I enhance at the same time?  
A:In LightFrame™ 3 it is possible to enhance up to 8 windows at the same time. It is however important to  
understand that when other windows, toolbars or menus overlap the enhanced windows, the maximum  
number of enhanced windows can be less.  
Q:How many pictures can LightFrame™ enhance in Internet Explorer?  
A:In Internet Explorer LightFrame™ 3 can enhance up to 16 pictures at the same time. LightFrame™ 3  
filters the pictures it finds based on the minimum size of the picture therefore it may happen that some  
pictures are not enhanced when you open a web page.  
Q:Can I enhance two or more area s at the same time?  
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17/edoc/english/107P/PRODUCT/PRODUCT.HTM (3 of 9) [6/25/2003 10:03:56 AM]  
107P Product Information  
A:Yes. With LightFrame™ 3 you have the possibility to select several windows with pictures and videos and  
enhance them at the same time.  
Q:Some times my mouse changes to a light bulb with a plus sign and sometimes with a minus sign.  
What is the difference?  
A:The mouse pointer in the shape of a light bulb indicates that LightFrame™ is ready to accept a selection  
from you for which window should be enhanced.  
If there is a minus sign it means that you are moving over a window where LightFrame™ is already active  
and clicking this window will switch the enhancement off. A plus sign appears when moving over a window  
which is not enhanced and clicking that one will enable LightFrame™ on that window.  
Q:What is wrong when my mouse changes into a light bulb with a red cross?  
A:Nothing. It just means that your mouse moves outside the application where you already have one or  
more windows enhanced. You can only select windows with in the same application. The cross indicates  
that you move into an area where you cannot make a selection.  
Q:Can I use LightFrame™ with Netscape?  
A: You can use LightFrame™ with Netscape, but its functions are limited to manually highlighting the entire  
Netscape client window. Since LightFrame™ is specifically designed for bright, high contrast photo and  
video display, highlighting an entire Web page -- including text -- is not recommended.  
For best results, we recommend you use LightFrame™ with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or  
higher. You can downloaded Internet Explorer free of charge from the Microsoft website  
(www.microsoft.com). A copy of Internet Explorer 5.5 is also included on the CD-ROM shipped with your  
monitor.  
Q:Can I activate LightFrame™ on my entire screen?  
A:Yes you can. And with LightFrame™ 3 this becomes even easier. There are three ways to do this: 1) click  
the full screen button in the LightFrame control bar with your mouse. 2) Press the "windows" hotkey on your  
keyboard and press "L". 3) Via the OSD menu, scroll to Extra controls, press "OK", then LightFrame On.  
Q:When I apply LightFrame™ to a text document I get blurry characters, what is wrong?  
A:Nothing is wrong. The effect which you see is due to the sharpness enhancement that LightFrame™ is  
doing on your monitor. This sharpness improves a photo or video significantly however on black text on a  
light background the effect is less favorable. Please keep in mind that LightFrame™ is developed to  
enhance your photos and videos and not really for text or synthetic pictures.  
You can decrease this effect by lowering the sharpness setting in the LightFrame™ 3 control panel.  
Q: How can I tell if my monitor comes with LightFrame™ 3?  
A: All Philips LightFrame™ 3 monitors display this logo on their front bezel:

107P Product Information  
Q: How do I use the LightFrame™ 3 control bar that appears at the top my screen?  
A: The control bar is another upgrade that helps you run all LightFrame™ 3 s neat, new features. The  
illustration below describes the tasks each button performs.  
Accustomed to working with the original LightFrame™ tray icon? No problem: It s still there and can be  
used to turn LightFrame™ on or off and check LightFrame™ status.

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. Use the down button to  
go to Color temperature and press OK again. Then move the down button to go to sRGB and press OK  
again.  
Exit this OSD.  
After this, please don't 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.

Frequently Asked Questions  
Frequently Asked Questions  
1.  
What does the "Designed for Windows" logo signify?  
The "Designed for Windows" logo means your Philips monitor fulfills the requirements and  
recommendations of the PC9x (97, 98, or 99) System Design Guide and passes stringent  
WHQL tests.  
2.  
What is USB?  
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. Its three main benefits are:  
USB eliminates "Case angst," the fear of removing the computer case to install circuit board cards - that  
often require 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 a 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!  
3.  
What is a USB hub?  
Think of USB hub as a extension of USB ports. Normally, the PC provides only one or two USB  
ports. To connect additional USB devices, you need a USB hub.  
4.  
What is Philips Monitors USB hub solution?  
Increasingly, monitors include USB hub functionality. But not all users need or want a USB hub.  
To give users freedom of choice, Philips provides an optional USB hub (type number  
PCUH411). The USB hub consists of two parts that are normally connected: one is functional,  
the other aesthetic. The aesthetic element is a removable cover. With the cover removed, the  
USB hub can be attached to the base or pedestal of monitor. The attached USB hub can be  
rotated to any position around the monitor's base. With this innovative Philips solution, your  
USB hub is always within reach for convenient connection and disconnection of USB  
peripherals.  
6.  
What models are Mac compatible?  
All listed Philips monitors are Mac compatible. BUT, you may need an adapter to connect the

What is TCO?  
TCO is a Swedish abbreviation for the Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees.  
8.  
What is MPR?  
MPR is a Swedish abbreviation for the Swedish National Board of Measurement and Testing.  
9.  
What are the differences between MPRII, TCO92, TCO95, TCO99 and TCO'03?  
In the general hierarchy of standards, TCO'03/TCO99 is the highest level of certification. Next  
is TCO95, which is "better" than TCO92, which, in turn, is better than MPRII. Below, we  
compare the standards in each category.  
-TCO 92 Phase out: June 30, 2000  
-TCO 95 Will be end December 31, 2003  
Emissions:  
MPRII: Set low emission rules for visual displays.  
TCO92: Imposed more stringent standards than MPRII.  
TCO95: Further toughened TCO92 rules.  
TCO99: Delineated even more severe standards and test procedures than TCO95.  
TCO'03: Same as TCO99 standard + Testing uncertainty.  
Safety:  
MPRII: No requirement.  
TCO92/95/99/03: All set requirements.  
Energy Saving:  
MPRII: No requirement.  
TCO92: Standby mode < 30W, Off mode < 8W  
TCO95: Standby mode < 30W, Off mode < 8W  
TCO99: Standby mode < 15W, Off mode < 5W  
TCO'03:Standby mode < 15W, Off mode < 5W

10. How do I enable the energy saving function?  
Go to 'My Computer' and select 'Control Panel' followed by 'Monitor Control.' Select "All default  
selection' and choose your Philips monitor model from the default driver list. Plug and Play will  
automatically enable the EPA tick box for you. In DOS or Windows 3.1, you must first make  
sure your PC supports power saving.  
11. What is refresh rate?  
"Refresh rate" describes the number of times an entire screen is vertically scanned each  
second. In other words: If a monitor's refresh rate is 85 Hz, its screen is refreshed - or vertically  
scanned - 85 times per second. A higher the refresh rate means better image stability and less  
flicker. A high refresh rate helps users who work long hours in front of a monitor avoid eye  
fatigue and stress. To change the refresh rate, go into "Start/Settings / Control Pannel / Display  
/ Properties / Setting/Advance/Adaptor" Windows settings of the computer, the monitor will  
automatically adjust itself to the video card.  
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (3 of 12) [6/25/2003 10:03:57 AM]  
Frequently Asked Questions  
12. Why does the picture on the screen appear to flicker?  
A low refresh rate or electrical interference typically causes flickering in the picture. Possible  
solutions include the following:  
Verify that the proper drivers are installed for your video card  
Make sure that all electrical devices (such as mobile phones) are at least 1m from the  
monitor  
Place the monitor in another physical location away from electrical interference  
Adjust the refresh rate to 75hz or higher.  
13. How do I adjust my monitor's resolution?  
Available resolutions are determined by the capabilities of your video card and graphic driver.  
Under Windows '95, you may select the desired available resolution through the 'Display  
properties/Settings' menu.  
14. How can I adjust the size, position and rotation of my screen?  
Depending on the model you own, you can use your CustoMax Software, On Screen Display  
(OSD) or control knobs located on the monitor.  
15. What if I get lost when making monitor adjustments?  
Simply press OK button then select "Reset to factory settings" to restore all settings.  
16. What is LightFrame ?  
LightFrame is a Philips technology breakthrough which offers a unique and revolutionary  
TM  
solution for boosting a monitor 's brightness and sharpness. With LightFrame , the user  
experiences TV quality performance for video or photos without deterioration to the monitor 's  
performance in windows used for other applications.  
17. How does LightFrame work?  
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (4 of 12) [6/25/2003 10:03:57 AM]  
Frequently Asked Questions  
LightFrame consists of a software application and an Integrated Circuit (IC) embedded in the  
monitor. Together, they boost brightness and sharpness in a user defined window or screen  
TM  
area. Unique LightFrame technology dramatically improves photo and video display quality.  
18. Why is LightFrame important to me?  
With LightFrame , selected Philips monitors deliver TV quality video and photo display while  
maintaining monitor performance for text-based applications. The result is that movies and  
other video are brighter and livelier; photos are more vibrant and lifelike.  
19. Will anyone else have this?  
LightFrame was invented, developed and patented by Philips. It is a unique feature that you  
will find exclusively in Philips monitors.  
20. Will LightFrame shorten the life of a monitor?  
No. Extensive testing has confirmed LightFrame does not adversely affect monitor life.  
Today's state-of-the-art Philips monitors employ improved phosphors and are designed for high  
light output. LightFrame normally highlights photos and videos. Though the peak brightness  
of the highlighted area is strongly increased, the average brightness - a determining factor for  
cathode deterioration - is not normally increased. In any case, a special Automatic Beam  
Limiter (ABL) circuit keeps a monitor 's maximum average brightness within acceptable levels.  
21. I get a message warning that my monitor 'may not support LightFrame '. I am  
certain my monitor does. What is wrong?  
Only a Philips driver can determine if your monitor is equipped with LightFrame ; a generic  
Windows driver cannot. Install the special Philips driver that came with your monitor. If the  
warning continues to flash after your Philips driver is installed, ignore the message.  
TM  
LightFrame will function properly.

Frequently Asked Questions  
22. What will happen when my system is no longer connected to a LightFrame™  
enabled monitor - for example, when I take my notebook on the road?  
Philips exclusive LightFrame feature requires the combined operation of hardware that  
resides in your monitor and software installed on your system. It only works when a monitor  
with built-in hardware receives commands from system software. Without both the  
TM  
LightFrame hardware equipped monitor and system software, the LightFrame does not  
function.  
23. What is "XtraSpace Design" (XSD)?  
XSD stands for XtraSpace Design, a Philips breakthrough that reduces a CRT display device's  
footprint. Philips XSD monitors combine the world's smallest front-to-back footprint with  
excellent front of screen performance.  
24. How did Philips achieve XtraSpace Design?  
Philips achieved this breakthrough in reduced footprint CRT display devices through short  
depth tubes and a focused design process that squeezed every excess millimeter out of XSD  
monitor desk space requirements.  
25. What is Philips monitors' solution for audio?  
Not all users need multimedia capabilities. To give users freedom of choice, Philips provides an  
optional Multimedia Base (type number: 6G3B10). The Multimedia Base replaces the easily  
removable standard pedestal of the monitor.  
26. Which models can be incorporated with the Multimedia Base?  
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (6 of 12) [6/25/2003 10:03:57 AM]  
Frequently Asked Questions  
The following models can be incorporated with the Multimedia Base: 109B5, 109E5,109F5,  
107B5, 107E5,107F5, 107S5, 107T5.  
27. What are Philips Multimedia Base's specifications?  
See detailed Multimedia Base specifications on the product information page.  
28. Why is a Multimedia Base better than separate speakers?  
The major advantage of the Multimedia Base is its minimal space requirements. In fact, it  
hardly uses any extra space at all: monitor depth and width are unchanged. Only the monitor's  
height is increased by only 3 centimeters.  
29. Where can I buy a multimedia base to incorporate with my Philips monitor?  
Please contact your dealer/reseller for details.  
30. What does Auto Calibrate do?  
It makes your monitor perform better and last longer. As a monitor becomes older, brightness  
gradually deteriorates and its colors change. This well-known process effects all monitors.  
Eventually after a number of years, the monitor's brightness deteriorates to below 50% of its  
original value. At this stage, the usable life of a monitor is considered ended. Auto Calibrate  
regularly readjusts color temperature and luminance to their original values.  
31. How does Philips Auto Calibrate feature benefit me?  
With Auto Calibrate, it takes a monitor's luminance 33 percent longer to deteriorate to the 50  
percent level that marks the end of a display device's useful life. Thanks to Auto Calibrate, a  
monitor with a normal life of 10,000 hours, for example, would last for 13,300 hours, a full one  
third longer.  
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (7 of 12) [6/25/2003 10:03:57 AM]  
Frequently Asked Questions  
32. How does Auto Calibrate work?  
During the calibration process, different predefined black and white images are displayed on  
thescreen. The beam currents of the red, green and blue cannon are accurately measured and  
compared to the original values stored in the monitor. By readjusting gain values of the  
individual cannons, deviation is reduced to zero. Default values are stored during production. If  
the user sets a new color temperature, this new value is saved as the new default value.  
33. When should calibration be performed?  
The calibration process takes less than six seconds. During this period, different specific  
images are displayed. After the process is finalized, the original image is redisplayed. Constant  
re-calibration is not required. Calibration should be performed after the monitor is warmed up.  
Auto Calibration takes place when a monitor receives a signal indicating an imminent switch to  
its sleep mode/stand-by mode.  
34. Which models of Philips monitors are equipped with Auto Calibrate feature?  
Auto Calibrate is currently available in the new 201P, 201B and 109P.

37. Why does my monitor display "Out of Range"?  
The video card installed in your computer may be too high for the monitor 's specifications.  
Please contact your computer manufacturer for details on how to lower resolution for your  
operating system.  
38. What is Moire? Why does my monitor have this wavy phenomenon?  
Moire is a natural effect or phenomenon of CRT that has the appearance of a wavy pattern,  
which is repetitive and superimposed on the screen as ripple images. These are a few  
suggestions to help reduce or minimize the effects:  
Some monitors have a Moire cancellation feature, activate it to the on position or adjust  
the Moire cancellation function via the OSD on the monitor.  
Change resolution to the recommended standard for the specific monitor size.  
Change Window viewing pattern/scheme to a pattern where the Moire is less visible.  
Change horizontal and vertical size to optimize the reduction of the Moire effect.  
39. What is CustoMax?  
CustoMax is proprietary Philips software that allows user to control parameter (e.g. Size, Color,  
Geometry) in place of the buttons on the front of the monitor. To install and run the CustoMax  
software, you must have a USB compatible system and have a USB connection at the rear of  
your monitor.  
40. My monitor appears to be missing one or more colors. How do I correct this?  
If the OSD menu is also missing a color, please contact service for details  
Set color temperature to 9300 color coordination  
Check the video cable for any bent pins  
Video card could be defective (try the monitor with another computer).  
41. When I degauss my monitor, it makes a loud noise. Is this normal?  
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17/edoc/english/FAQ.HTM (9 of 12) [6/25/2003 10:03:57 AM]  
Frequently Asked Questions  
Yes, when degaussing your monitor via the OSD, it is normal for the monitor to make a  
relatively loud noise. Please be aware that many models will not degauss more than once  
within any given time period (up to 10 minutes). This is due to the unit having a temperature  
sensitive resistor. While the unit is degaussing, the resistor increases in value with heat and  
once it reaches a certain temperature, the resistance will rise and prevent voltage from  
reaching the degaussing coil. This is what stops the degausser, and this device's resistance  
will decrease as it cools back off, enabling the degauss function to operate again. This is an  
intentional design and is an industry standard, not just for Philips monitors. Please be aware  
that not all models in the Philips range has this manual degauss function. Some models are  
built with an auto degauss feature which automatically degausses the monitor when it is  
switched on.  
42. How do I adjust the picture on the screen?  
Please perform the following to correct the picture image:  
Reset your monitor via the OSD menu  
Adjust the Horz (width) and/or Vert size (height) in the OSD  
Change monitor timing to work at the recommended resolution  
43. The edge of the picture on the screen appears to be distorted. How can I correct  
this?  
Please perform the following to correct the picture image:  
A magnetic or electrical interference typically causes poor geometry in the picture. Place  
the monitor in a different physical location  
Reset the monitor to the factory preset via the OSD menu  
Access the Geometry Menu in the OSD of the Monitor and perform the necessary  
adjustments  
Change the monitor timing to the recommended resolution  
44. The picture appears too dim. How can I correct this?

Change the color temperature settings to 9300 color coordination via the OSD menu  
Set the Contrast to maximum level (100) and Brightness to middle level (50)  
Video card could be defective (try the monitor with another computer)  
45. I have noticed two thin horizontal lines on the screen of my Philips monitor. Is this  
normal?  
This phenomenon can occur with Philips 107P, 109P and 201P monitors and is normal. Your  
monitor is using an Aperture Grille, which consists of fine vertical wires to align the electron  
beams with the phosphors on the screen. To prevent these vertical wires from vibrating and to  
keep them properly aligned with the picture tube, two horizontal damper wires are required.  
These are located on one-third and on two-third from the top of the screen. The result is that  
you will see two very thin horizontal lines over your screen since the two wires are casting a  
slight shadow on the screen surface. You will find these wires (line) in any monitor from Philips  
and other brands using the Aperture Grille technology.  
46. How can I increase the color display of my monitor?  
The amount of video memory your video card holds determines the amount of colors that can  
be displayed on your computer screen. To get the most out of your video card, you will need to  
either install the latest drivers onto your computer or upgrade the video cards memory. Please  
check with your computer or video card manufacturer for further details.  
47. Why is there no picture on my monitor?  
Check the wall socket for power. Verify that there is power by connecting another  
product.  
Ensure the power cable is correctly attached to both the wall socket and the monitor.  
Check that the power button is switched on.  
Unplug the monitor for approx. 1 minute and plug it in again. Switch the monitor back on.  
48. Why is there no picture on my monitor even though the power LED is yellow/amber  
or flashing green?

CE Mark  
CE mark is displayed on products per EMC and LV ( low Voltage Device ) directives in compliance with  
European Community safety, EMI and EMS requirements and is compulsory on products for sale in the  
European Community.  
Color temperature  
A way of describing the color of a radiating source in terms of the temperature (in degrees Kelvin) of a black  
body radiating with the same dominant frequency as the source.  
Most Philips monitors offer the possibility of setting the color temperature to any desired value.  
Contrast  
The ratio between the brightness of the brightest and darkest parts of a picture. The darkest part of a picture  
is set by the brightness of the unexcited phosphor, which is governed by the degree with which ambient light  
is reflected. Contrast is therefore reduced in conditions of high ambient light levels. Black Matrix tubes  
reflect less ambient light so exhibit higher contrast than other tubes.  
Convergence error  
Bean misalignment causing one or more of the three beams passing through the wrong aperture in the  
shadow mask and striking a phosphor dot in the wrong triad.  
Convergence error is expressed in mm often at three well-defined points on the screen, designated A, B  
and C (see figure ). Also known as misconvergence.

Convergence-error correction  
A method of correcting for convergence error to insure that all three beams land simultaneously in the same  
triad. This is usually accomplished by means of special convergence-error correction coils in the deflection  
yoke.  
CRT  
Cathode-ray tube - the general term for all tubes in which one or more electron beams emitted by a cathode  
are periodically scanned across a phosphor screen by means of deflection circuitry. A special form of the  
cathode-ray tube is the TV and monitor picture tube.

Degaussing  
The procedure of demagnetizing the shadow mask and associated metal parts of a picture tube at switch-on  
to minimize picture distortion. This is usually accomplished by means of a special degaussing coil through  
which a decaying alternating current is passed to generate an alternating magnetic field that gradually  
decays to demagnetize the tube. Some monitors offer a manual degaussing facility that can be activated at  
any time.  
Digital control  
Microprocessor-based digital control of picture parameters and video modes for complete control of picture  
settings and modes and instant recall of all settings at the push of a button. This is a very advanced feature  
that allows the user to switch to any required mode at any instant without having to spend time readjusting  
the picture. It is currently available in most Philips monitors.  
Dot pitch  
The shortest distance between two phosphor dots of the same color on the screen. The smaller the dot  
pitch, the better the resolution of the monitor.

Dot rate  
Frequency in MHz of the dot clock. It is a measure of the speed with which data is transferred between the  
video card and subsequent processing circuitry.  
Also known as video dot rate.  
E
Electromagnetic radiation standards  
International standards set to limit electromagnetic emissions from monitors. There are currently two  
important standards both derived from regulations originally laid down by Swedish authorities.  
MPR-II  
The standard originally proposed by the Swedish National Board of Measurement and Testing. It set  
maximum levels of electromagnetic radiation emitted by monitors, and has now been adopted as a world  
standard. MPR-II defines maximum permitted electrostatic, magnetic and electric field levels measured at a  
distance of 50 cm from the center of the monitor (see table).  
TCO  
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17/edoc/english/GLOSSARY/GLOSSARY.HTM (5 of 18) [6/25/2003 10:03:58 AM]  
 
Glossary  
In 1991, the Swedish Tjänstemannens Central Organization (TCO, Swedish confederation of Professional  
Employees ) set a standard even more severe than MPR-II, especially for alternating electric fields (AEF).  
The TCO standard is more severe since not only are the permitted field levels reduced compared with  
MPR-II, but the measuring distance is also reduced (see table).  
Electromagnetic radiation standards  
EMI (Electrical Magnetic Interference)  
The electrical and/or magnetic radiation coming from the working electrical or electronic equipment.  
EMS (Electrical Magnetic Sustainment)  
The ability of electrical or electronic equipment to function properly in the environment with electrical and/or  
magnetic interference.  
F
Flicker  
Very rapid variations in picture intensity caused by the finite time required for the electron beam to scan a  
picture onto the screen. Two kinds of flicker occur: line flicker caused by the electron beam scanning-in  
each line of the picture; and frame flicker (or field flicker if the picture is interlaced) caused by the frame  
repetition rate of 50 frames/second. Frame flicker is noticeable with GUI and DTP software (which have a  
light background), and can be very disturbing, especially for those who work regularly with displays -  
contributing to eye strain, headaches, visual blurring, stress, etc. The problem can, however, be eliminated  
by increasing the refresh rate (number of frames/second) of the monitor to a value above around 70 Hz.  
Sensitivity to flicker appears to diminish with increasing age.  
H
Hertz  
The unit of frequency named after the physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894). 1 hertz (Hz) is equal to 1  
cycle/second.

Glossary  
Also called line frequency and expressed in kHz, it is the number of video lines written on the screen every  
second (from left to right). The higher the horizontal scanning frequency, the better the resolution (i.e., the  
higher the resolution and/or the higher the refresh rate).

INF File  
INF file (Information File)  
Information (INF) files store information in a specific format. The set-up functions retrieve information from  
the INF file to use when performing installation operations. Examples of the type of information stored in an  
INF file include INI and registry changes, file names, and locations of the source files on source media.  
Interlaced/non-interlaced  
Interlaced.  
The method of writing a picture on the screen by initially writing all even lines and subsequently writing all  
odd lines of the picture. Result: The complete picture is composed of two interlaced half pictures (or fields).  
With interlacing, a vertical (or field) frequency of 50 Hz means a picture (or frame) frequency of 25 Hz.  
Non-interlaced.  
The method of writing a picture on the screen by successive video lines of the picture so that a full frame is  
written onto the screen in one vertical sweep of the beams. With a non-interlaced display, a vertical  
frequency of 50 Hz means a picture (or frame) frequency of 50 Hz. At any given resolution, non-interlaced  
modes are preferable to interlaced modes; however, generation of non-interlaced modes is more expensive.

Moiré effect  
A fringe pattern arising from the interference between two superimposed line patterns.  
In a monitor it comes from the interference between the shadow mask pattern and the video information  
(video moiré), and between the shadow mask pattern and the horizontal line pattern (scan moiré). It shows  
itself as wavy patterns on the screen and becomes more noticeable as monitor resolution increases. Since  
the video signal varies continuously, little can be done about video moiré. Scan moiré depends on the  
horizontal scanning frequency and can be alleviated by appropriate choice of frequency. Autoscan  
(MultiSync) monitors, which operate over a range of scanning frequencies, may sometimes exhibit moiré in  
certain video modes.

Phosphor  
Generic name for the class of substances that exhibit luminescence. To produce a picture on screen,  
phosphors are deposited on the inner surface of the picture-tube screen and excited into luminescence by  
the electron beam. Typical examples of phosphors are P22 medium short-persistence phosphor and EBU  
high-color-saturation phosphor.  
Pin-cushion Distortion  
See Geometric distortion.  
Pixel  
Abbreviation for picture element, the smallest element of the picture that can be displayed on the screen.  
The smaller the pixel size, the better the resolution of the monitor. Pixel size is determined by the size of the  
electron spot on the screen and not necessarily by the phosphor dot pitch (the size of the triad). Thus, a  
monitor with a large electron spot covering several triads can exhibit poor resolution even though its dot  
pitch is small.

Glossary  
Anti-Static coatings  
Due to bombardment by beam electrons, monitor screens become electrically charged when in use.  
Electrically charged screens surfaces can attract dust particles. An Anti-Static coating is a conductive  
coating deposited on the screen (or on a glass panel immediately in front of the screen) that conducts away  
the charge and prevents screen dust build-up.  
AGAS (Anti-Glare, Anti-Static) coating  
AGAS is a silica coating applied to the surface of the screen by a spinning and spraying process. It operates  
by diffusing reflected light to blur images of light sources on the screen. To provide anti-static properties, the  
coating is impregnated with small conductive particles.  
ARAS (Anti-Reflection, Anti-Static) coating  
ARAS is one of the most effective anti-reflection/anti-static screen treatments currently available. It is  
composed of a multi-layer structure of transparent dielectric material that suppresses specular reflections by  
broadband interference effects at the screen surface. Anti-static properties are provided by a single  
conductive layer within the multi-layer structure.  
With ARAS, the intensity of reflected light is reduced from around 4.5% of the incident light (the reflectivity of  
uncoated screens) to less than 0.5%. ARAS also has a major advantage over other screen treatments: It  
doesn't diffuse or scatter reflected light, so picture contrast and sharpness remain completely unimpaired.  
It's also easy to clean and tough enough to withstand commercially available cleaning agents.

The ARAS coating reflects only about 0.5% of the incident light.  
AGRAS (Anti-Glare anti-Reflection Anti-Static) coating.  
A combined anti-reflection, anti-glare, anti-static coating.  
Self-test function

SOG (Synchronization On Green)  
A properly functioning color monitor requires five kinds of signals: horizontal sync pulse, vertical sync pulse,  
red color signal, green color signal and blue color signal. Signals from a PC are transmitted to a monitor  
using one of three methods:  
1. Separate sync: Horizontal and Vertical sync signals transmitted separately  
2. Composite sync: Horizontal and vertical sync pulses mixed into a single signal train.  
3. SOG: Horizontal and vertical sync pulses mixed, then combined with the green color signal.

Trapezoid distortion  
See Geometrical distortion.  
TTL signal  
A TTL (Transistor-transistor-logic) signal is a digital signal level for controlling the screen colors. With TTL  
driving, the red, green and blue signals can only be switched on or off or provided with an intensity signal. A  
TTL-driven monitor can thus display a maximum of 64 colors. Video standards such as MDA, CGA and  
EGA are based on TTL level.  
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 angst" -- the fear of removing the computer case to install add-on peripherals.  
And 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 and provide robustness at 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

Glossary  
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.  
UPS (Universal Power Supply)  
The monitor with UPS feature can work in different countries with various mains voltage.

V
Vertical dot pitch  
See Dot pitch.  
Vertical scanning frequency  
Expressed in Hz, this is the number of fields written to the screen every second in interlaced mode. In  
non-interlaced mode vertical scanning frequency is the number of frames (complete pictures) written to the  
screen every second (also known as refresh rate).  
Vertical sync pulses  
A train of square shaped waveforms that define the start of a new frame.  
VESA  
Video Electronic Standards Association, a consortium of manufacturers formed to establish and maintain  
industry-wide standards for video cards and monitors. VESA was instrumental in the introduction of the  
Super VGA and Extended VGA video graphics standards (see Video graphics adapters) with a refresh rate  
of 70 Hz, minimizing flicker and helping to reduce operator eyes fatigue and stress.  
Video dot rate  
See Dot rate.  
Video graphics adapters  
A card equipped with a character or graphic generator and video memory, which maps to the screen. A  
microprocessor scans video memory and translates bit information from the computer into displayable video  
signals for the monitor. These cards comply with various standards that determine the nature and quality of  
the display.  
VGA (Video Graphics Array), introduced in 1987, was the first analog card. It offered still higher resolution  
than EGA: 640 X 480 pixels for graphics and 720 x 400 pixels for text, and a color palette of 256 colors.  
VGA could also emulate EGA and CGA.  
Super VGA, devised by VESA in 1989, offers a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels.  
Extended VGA, introduced by VESA in 1991, offers a top resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (non-interlaced)  
and a refresh rate slightly higher than IBM's XGA 8514A.  
High-end, graphics adapters, introduced over the last three years for professional workstations, offer top

resolutions from 1280 x 1024 to 1600 x 1280, horizontal line frequencies up to 90 kHz and bandwidths up to  
200 MHz.  
VIS (Viewable Image Size)  
The real screen dimensions that users can see measured diagonally. The VIS of a monitor is always less  
than the so called screen size of a monitor. For example, the VIS of a 17-inch monitor is only about 16  
inches. It depends on the useful screen size of CRT and the opening of a monitor's front cabinet.

TCO '95/99 Information (For TCO Model Only)  
Congratulations!  
You have just purchased a TCO' 95 or TCO' 99approved and labeled product! Your choice has provided  
you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the  
burden on the environment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics  
products.  
Why do we have environmentally labeled computers?  
In many countries, environmental labeling has become an established method for encouraging the  
adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other  
electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the  
products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of  
electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.  
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important  
from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of  
electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing  
emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running  
continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.  
What does labeling involve?  
This product meets the requirements for the TCO' 95/TCO' 99 scheme which provides for international and  
environmental labeling of personal computers. The labeling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the  
file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17/edoc/english/107P/SAFETY/regs/regulat.htm (1 of 13) [6/25/2003 10:09:45 AM]  
     
Regulatory Information  
TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The  
Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy  
Administration).  
Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of  
electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.  
The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and  
chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must  
be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be  
adhered to in each country where the company implements its operational policy.  
The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of  
inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to  
reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.  
Labeled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of  
electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.  
Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete  
environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

Environmental Requirements  
Flame retardants  
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is  
to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist  
of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame  
retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants  
containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including  
reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame  
retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in fetus development  
may occur.  
The relevant TCO' 95/TCO' 99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams  
must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed  
in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.

Regulatory Information  
Cadmium**  
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-generating layers of certain computer  
displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO' 95/ TCO'99  
requirement states that batteries, the color-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or  
electronics components must not contain any cadmium.  
Mercury**  
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in  
high doses. The relevant TCO' 95/TCO' 99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It  
also demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with  
the labeled unit.  
CFCs (freons)  
The relevant TCO' 95/TCO' 99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the  
manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit  
boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing  
increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with increased risks e.g. skin cancer (malignant melanoma)  
as a consequence.  
Lead**  
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous  
system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO' 95/TCO' 99 requirement permits the  
inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.  
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.  
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE  
EARTHED.  
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  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in  
accordance with the following code:  
BLUE - "NEUTRAL" ("N")  
BROWN - "LIVE" ("L")  
GREEN & YELLOW - "EARTH" ("E")  
1. The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be  
connected to the terminal in the plug which is  
marked with the letter "E" or by the Earth 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.
