Save & Recall
From a window
There are three ways to save your changes: by pressing the Front
Panel Button, by selecting SAVE from the On Screen Display, or by
letting the On Screen Display time out. Each method saves the
changes you have made in a particular window.
Exiting from the On Screen Display removes the On Screen Display
from the monitor screen. Resetting from the On Screen Display returns
everything in all the windows to factory presets.

USB & Audio
USB
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is an innovation in connecting your IBM-compatible computer to your monitor. By using the USB, you will be able to connect
your keyboard, mouse, printer, and other peripherals to your monitor instead of having to connect them to your computer. This will give you greater
flexibility in setting up your system. Plus, you will have true plug-and-play capability. You can purchase USB hub from your local Philips dealer.
For an IBM-compatible Computer:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Connect the USB cable to the computer and to
the monitor. (Computer must have a USB port.)
(See diagram 1)
3. Refer to diagram 2 if you have Philips USB hub.
4. Connect the power cable.
5. Turn on the monitor. Then turn on the computer.
6. With the installation of the correct software, you
will be able to connect specially-made
peripherals to the monitor.
Note: You can buy Philips USB hub from Philips local dealer.
Refer to the “Setting Up your Philips monitor” foldout for a more detailed guide to setting up your monitor.

Power saving feature / Glossary
Automatic Power Savings &
Preset Resolution Modes
If you have VESA's DPMS compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption
when not in use. If input from a keyboard, mouse, or other device is detected, the monitor automatically “wakes up.” The table at left shows the
power consumption and signalling of this automatic power-saving feature. To turn this feature on and off, see page 6. The table at right shows the 9
factory preset resolution modes. The maximum number of modes is 22. This leaves room for additions.

Glossary
Here are a few definitions that may help you.
Brightness
Refers to how light or dark the overall screen is.
Color
Temperature
A term used to refer to the color balance, uniformity, and saturation settings on your monitor screen. Color (even white,
gray, and black) on your screen is achieved by blending (or balancing) three primary colors: red, green, and blue. As you
increase or decrease any one of these colors, the color temperature changes. For example, at 9300˚ K, you are using more
blue in your color temperature; therefore, your screen will be saturated with more blue and should appear uniformly “bluer”
from one side of the screen to the other. At 6500˚ K, you are using more red in your mixture. True color balance is achieved
when a gray object shows no traces of either red, green, or blue, regardless of the brightness of the image.
Contrast
Degauss
DDC
Refers to the sharpness of objects on the screen and the ability to easily distinguish one from the other.
The process by which metal parts of the screen are demagnetized in order to reduce screen distortion and color impurity.
(Display Data Channel) is a signaling standard established to help the performance of personal computers. In order to use this
function, your computer must be designed for DDC. There are several types of DDC. Most computer monitors are designed for DDC1
and DDC2 Level B (DDC1/2B).
Geometry
A set of controls that allows you to adjust the alignment of the picture on the monitor screen. The goal is to “square up”
the picture. This is done by adjusting such items as balanced pincushion, pincushion, parallelogram, rotation, and
trapezoid.
Moire
Noise
USB
A fringe pattern caused by the interference between two superimposed line patterns.
Term used to refer to interference with the monitor’s picture.
Universal Serial Bus. A way to connect your IBM-compatible computer, monitor, and peripherals for true Plug-and-Play
functions. This is an emerging technology.
