Safety precautions and maintenance
WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than those
specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock,
electrical hazards and/or mechanical hazards.
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:
●
●
Unplug the monitor if you are not going to use it for an extensive period of time.
Unplug the monitor if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. The screen may be wiped
with a dry cloth when the power is off. However, never use alcohol, solvents or ammonia-based
liquids.
●
Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when you have followed
the instructions in this manual.
●
●
●
The casing cover should be opened only by qualified service personnel.
Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat source.
Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s
electronics.
●
●
●
●
Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.
Keep the monitor dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to rain or excessive moisture.
When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.
If turning off the monitor by detaching the power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds
before attaching the power cable or DC power cord for normal operation.
To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not expose the monitor to rain or
excessive moisture.
IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your application. If a still image in
high contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave an 'after-image'
or 'ghost image' on front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by the
shortcomings inherent in LCD technology. In most cases, the after-image will disappear
gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off. Be aware, that the after-
image symptom cannot be repaired and is not covered under warranty.
●
●
Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when the operating instructions
given in this manual have been followed.
Installation Locations
●
Avoid exposure to heat and extreme cold.

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 driver disk (either floppy or CD-
ROM) included in this package. Monitor drivers (.inf and .icm files) will be installed automatically.
Q: How do I adjust the resolution?
A: Your video card/graphic driver and monitor together determine the available resolutions. You
can select the desired resolution under Windows® 95/98 with the 'Display properties/Settings'
control panel.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: What if I get lost when I am making monitor adjustments?
A: Simply press the OSD 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 at the
press of a single button – without the need to navigate through OSD 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 to the Monitor.
Q: Will the LCD monitor accept an Interlace signal?
A: No. If an Interlace signal is used, the screen displays both odd and even horizontal scanning
lines at the same time, thus distorting the picture.
Q: What does the Refresh Rate mean for LCD?
A: Unlike CRT display technology, in which the speed of the electron beam is swept from the top to
the bottom of the screen determines flicker, an active matrix display uses an active element (TFT) to
control each individual pixel and the refresh rate is therefore not really applicable to LCD
technology.
Q: Will the LCD screen be resistant to scratches?
A: A protective coating is applied to the surface of the LCD, which is durable to a certain extent
(approximately up to the hardness of a 2H pencil). In general, it is recommended that the panel
surface is not subject to any excessive shocks or scratches. An optional protective cover with
greater scratch resistance is also available.
Q: How should I clean the LCD surface?
A: For normal cleaning, use a clean, soft cloth. For extensive cleaning, please use isopropyl

Touch panels are being developed for future applications. Check with your Philips sales
representative for more information.
Screen Adjustments
Q: How do LCDs compare to CRTs in terms of radiation?
A: Because LCDs do not use an electron gun, they do not generate the same amount of radiation at
the screen surface.
Compatibility with other Peripherals
Q: Can I connect my LCD monitor to any PC, workstation or Mac?
A: Yes. All Philips LCD monitors are fully compatible with standard PCs, Macs and workstations.
You may need a cable adapter to connect the monitor to your Mac system. Please contact your
dealer/retailer for more information.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
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: How are LCDs made?
A: LCDs are created from two glass plates separated from each other at a distance of a few
microns. The plates are filled with liquid crystal and then sealed together. The top plate is colored
with an RGB pattern to make the color filter. Polarizers are then glued to both plates. This
combination is sometimes called 'glass' or 'cell.' The LCD cell is assembled into a 'module' by
adding the backlight, driver electronics and frame.
Q: What is polarization ?
A: Polarization is basically directing light to shine in one direction. Light is electromagnetic waves.
Electric and magnetic fields oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the propagation of the light
beam. The direction of these fields is called the 'polarization direction'. Normal or non-polarized light
has fields in several directions; polarized light has a field in only one direction.
Q: What differentiates passive matrix LCDs from active matrix LCDs?
A: An LCD is made with either a passive matrix or an active matrix display grid. An active matrix has
a transistor located at each pixel intersection, requiring less current to control the luminance of a
pixel. For this reason, the current in an active matrix display can be switched on and off more
frequently, improving the screen refresh time (your mouse pointer will appear to move more
smoothly across the screen, for example). The passive matrix LCD has a grid of conductors with
pixels located at each intersection in the grid.
Q: How does a TFT LCD Panel work?
A: On each column and row of the TFT LCD panel, a data source drive and a gate drive are attached,
respectively. The TFT drain of each cell is connected to the electrode. The molecular arrangement of
liquid crystal elements differ according to whether it is impressed with voltage or not. It varies the
direction of polarized light and the amount of light by letting it through different arrays of liquid

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
crystal elements. When two polarized filters are arranged vertically on a polarized light pole, the
light that passes through the upper polarized panel is turned 90 degrees along with the spiral
structure of the liquid crystal molecules and goes through the polarized filter at the bottom. When
impressed with voltage, liquid crystal molecules are arranged vertically from the original spiral
structure and the direction of the light is not turned through 90 degrees. In this case, light that
comes through the top polarized panel may not go through the polarized panel at the bottom.
Q: What are the advantages of TFT LCD compared with CRT?
A: In a CRT monitor, a gun shoots electrons and general light by colliding polarized electrons on
fluorescent glass. Therefore, CRT monitors basically operate with an analog RGB signal. A TFT LCD
monitor is a device that displays an input image by operating a liquid crystal panel. The TFT has a
fundamentally different structure than a CRT: Each cell has an active matrix structure and
independent active elements. A TFT LCD has two glass panels and the space between them is filled
with liquid crystal. When each cell is connected with electrodes and impressed with voltage, the
molecular structure of the liquid crystal is altered and controls the amount of inlet lighting to display
images. A TFT LCD has several advantages over a CRT, since it can be very thin and no flickering
occurs because it does not use the scanning method.
Q: Why is vertical frequency of 60Hz optimal for an LCD monitor?
A: Unlike a CDT monitor, the TFT LCD panel has a fixed resolution. For example, an XGA monitor
has 1024x3 (R, G, B) x 768 pixels and a higher resolution may not be available without additional
software processing. The panel is designed to optimize the display for a 65MHz dot clock, one of the
standards for XGA displays. Since the vertical/horizontal frequency for this dot clock is 60Hz/48kHz,
the optimum frequency for this monitor is 60Hz.
Q: What kind of wide-angle technology is available? How does it work?
A: The TFT LCD panel is an element that controls/displays the inlet of a backlight using the dual-
refraction of a liquid crystal. Using the property that the projection of inlet light refracts toward the
major axis of the liquid element, it controls the direction of inlet light and displays it. Since the
refraction ratio of inlet light on liquid crystal varies with the inlet angle of the light, the viewing angle
of a TFT is much narrower than that of a CDT. Usually, the viewing angle refers to the point where
the contrast ration is 10. Many ways to widen the viewing angle are currently being developed and
the most common approach is to use a wide viewing angle film, which widens the viewing angle by
varying the refraction ratio. IPS (In Plane Switching) or MVA (Multi Vertical Aligned) is also used to
give a wider viewing angle.
Q: Why is there no flicker on an LCD Monitor?
A: Technically speaking, LCDs do flicker, but the cause of the phenomenon is different from that of
a CRT monitor -- and it has no impact of the ease of viewing. Flickering in an LCD monitor relates to
usually undetectable luminance caused by the difference between positive and negative voltage. On
the other hand, CRT flickering that can irritate the human eye occurs when the on/off action of the
fluorescent object becomes visible. Since the reaction speed of liquid crystal in an LCD panel is
much slower, this troublesome form of flickering is not present in an LCD display.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: Why is an LCD monitor virtually free of Electro Magnetic Interference?
A: Unlike a CRT, an LCD monitor does not have key parts that generate Electro Magnetic
Interference, especially magnetic fields. Also, since an LCD display utilizes relatively low power, its
power supply is extremely quiet.
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 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.

Philips Pixel Defect Policy
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 15" XGA monitor may be defective. Furthermore,
Philips sets even higher quality standards for certain types or combinations of pixel defects that are more
noticeable than others. This policy is valid worldwide.
Pixels and Sub pixels
A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three sub pixels in the primary colors of red, green and blue.
Many pixels together form an image. When all sub pixels of a pixel are lit, the three colored 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'. These are the
types of bright dot defects:

Philips Pixel Defect Policy
Two adjacent lit sub pixels:
- Red + Blue = Purple
- Red + Green = Yellow
One lit red, green or blue sub
pixel
Three adjacent lit sub pixels
(one white pixel)
- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)
Black Dot Defects Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always dark or 'off'. These are
the types of black dot defects:
One dark sub pixel
Two or three adjacent dark sub pixels
Proximity of Pixel Defects
Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the same type that are near to one another may be more
noticeable, Philips also specifies tolerances for the proximity of pixel defects.
Pixel Defect Tolerances
In order to qualify for repair or replacement due to pixel defects during the warranty period, a TFT LCD
panel in a Philips flat panel monitor must have pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding the tolerances listed in
the following tables.
