mode'?
A: Recommended video mode for Philips 15": 1024x768 @60Hz / Philips 18" 1280x1024@60Hz.
1. Unplug all cables, then connect your PC to the monitor you used previously, which displayed
correctly.
2. In the Windows Start Menu, select Settings/Control Panel. In the Control Panel Window, select the
Display icon. Inside the Display Control Panel, select the 'Settings' tab. Under the settings tab, in a
box labelled 'desktop area', move the slidebar to 1024x768 pixels (15") / 1280x1024 pixels (18").
3. Open 'Advanced Properties' and set the Refresh Rate to 60Hz, then click OK.
4. Restart your computer and repeat steps 2 and 3 to verify that your PC is set at 1024x768@60Hz
(15") / 1280x1024@60Hz (18").
5. Shut down your computer, disconnect your old monitor and reconnect your Philips LCD monitor.
6. Turn on your monitor and then turn on your PC
Q: What does 'refresh rate' mean in connection with an LCD monitor?
A: The refresh rate is of much less relevance for LCD monitors. LCD monitors display a stable,
flicker-free image at 60Hz. There is no visible difference between 75Hz and 60Hz.
Q: What are the .inf and .icm files on the set-up disk & 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. The 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: Why does the driver not work well at 75Hz when the vertical range for this product is defined
from 56 to 75Hz ?
A: This monitor is capable of working at 1024 x 768 @75 Hz mode in terms of Horizontal Frequency

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
30~61kHz and Vertical refresh rate 56~75Hz. However, users of monitors (of all brands, including
Philips) may encounter certain limitations when viewing Microsoft Windows on a monitor operating
at 75Hz with Horizontal Frequency 30~61kHz. To serve specific needs on 75Hz, Philips provides a
special driver which can work for this. This special information file is now available at website
www.p4c.philips.com, and also can be found inside the CD-ROM with the following directory path
../pc/drivers/special for your quick installation.
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 Me & 2000/XP with the 'Display
properties/Settings' control panel.
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 power cord is connected to the Monitor.
Q: Will the product 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 at which 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.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
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 subjected 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
alcohol. Do not use other solvents such as ethyl alcohol, ethanol, acetone, hexane, etc.
Q: Can the Philips LCD Monitor be mounted on the wall or used as a touch panel?
A: Yes, Philips LCD monitors have this optional feature. The standard VESA mount holes on the
back cover allow the user to mount the Philips monitor on any VESA standard ARM or accessories.
Touch panels are being developed for future applications. Check with your Philips sales
representative for more information.
Q:When I use a Philips 180MT in a dimly-lit room, I notice areas in the screen which are slightly
brighter. This is mainly visible in dark scenes or when the screen is completely black. What is
wrong?
A: Philips developed this 18" monitor TV to give very bright images. This is great for TV and movie
viewing. As a result of this, these brighter areas may be visible when the ambient light is very low.
Your TV monitor is functioning correctly and has no defect. We recommend that you increase the
ambient light slightly so as to make the effect less visible.
Screen Adjustments
Q: What is the FPadjust program on the setup disk and CD-ROM?
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.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
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",
1280x1024@60Hz for 18". Note: You can check the current display settings by pressing the OSD OK
button once.
The current display mode is shown in the product information in the OSD main controls.
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_setup03.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 optimise image
performance with your system's video controller.
Q: How do LCDs compare with 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.
Q: Are Philips LCD monitors Plug-and-Play?
A: Yes, the monitors are Plug-and-Play compatible with Windows® 95, 98, 2000,XP and the PC98/99
platforms.
Q: What is a TV System?
A: Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries. There are different
standards: BG, DK, I and L L'. The SYSTEM setting is used to select these different standards. This
is not to be confused with PAL or SECAM colour coding. Pal is used in the majority of European
file:///D|/TV/english/180mt/safety/saf_faq.htm (4 of 8) [4/2/2003 10:42:12 AM]
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
countries, Secam in France, the CIS and the majority of African countries
The United States and Japan use a different system called NTSC.
Q: What is SCART?
A: The SCART is a 20-pin rectangular connector fitted to the vast majority of PAL market TV
receivers. It provides composite video inputs and outputs, stereo audio in and out, and RGB input. It
is also known as Euro connector and PERI-tel.
Q: What are S-VIDEO Signals?
A: These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from the S-VIDEO and Hi-8 recording standards. The
luminance signals Y (black and white) and chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded separately
on the tape. This provides a better picture quality than is achieved with standard video (VHS and 8
mm) where the Y/C signals are combined to provide only one video signal.
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-display 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 coloured
with an RGB pattern to make the colour 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.
file:///D|/TV/english/180mt/safety/saf_faq.htm (5 of 8) [4/2/2003 10:42:12 AM]
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
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 and attached,
respectively. The TFT drain of each cell is connected to the electrode. The molecular arrangement of
liquid crystal elements differs acceding 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
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
in 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 a vertical frequency of 60Hz optimal for an LCD monitor?
file:///D|/TV/english/180mt/safety/saf_faq.htm (6 of 8) [4/2/2003 10:42:12 AM]
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
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 optimise 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 ratio 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
CRT monitor -- and it has no impact of the ease of viewing. Flickering in an LCD monitor relates to
usually undetectable luminance caused by the difference between positive and negative voltage. On
the other hand, CRT flickering that can irritate the human eye occurs when the on/off action of the
fluorescent object becomes visible. Since the reaction speed of liquid crystal in an LCD panel is
much slower, this troublesome form of flickering is not present in an LCD display.
Q: Why is an LCD monitor virtually 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

TCO '95 Information
Congratulations!
You have just purchased a TCO'95 approved and labelled 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 labelled computers?
In many countries, environmental labelling 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 the
manufacturing. Since it has not been possible for the majority of electronics equipment to
be recycled in a satisfactory way, 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 conventional electricity generation
have a negative effect on the environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions,
radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy. Electronics equipment in offices

consume an enormous amount of energy since they are often left running continuously.
What does labelling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme which provides for
international and environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme
was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional
Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and
NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden). The
requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission
of electrical and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety. The
environmental demands concern 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 plan 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.
Labelled 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. On the back page of this folder, you will find a brief summary of the
environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria

Environmental Requirements
Brominated flame retardants
Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and
housings. In turn, they delay the spread of fire. Up to thirty percent of the plastic in a
computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. These are related to another
group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to similar harm,
including reproductive damage in fisheating birds and mammals, due to the
bio-accumulative * processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and
researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.
TCO'95 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not
contain organically bound chlorine and bromine.
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. TCO'95 requirement
permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.
**
Cadmium
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain
computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The
relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-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. Mercury damages the
nervous system and is toxic in high doses. TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not
contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of mercury. It also demands that no mercury is
present in any of the electrical or electronics components concerned with the display unit.
Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as
there today is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception
when a mercury free alternative is available.
CFCs (freons)
CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the
manufacturing of expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break down ozone and thereby
damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of
ultraviolet light with consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma). The
relevant TCO'95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the
manufacturing of the product or its packaging.

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

Philips Pixel Defect Policy
Philips Pixel Defect Policy
Philips' LCD Panel Pixel Defect Policy
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of the industry's most advanced
manufacturing processes and practise 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 subpixels
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 appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always lit or 'on'. These are the types of bright dot
defects:
file:///D|/TV/english/180mt/product/pixel.htm (1 of 3) [4/2/2003 10:42:22 AM]
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 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.

Understanding AutoLock
TM
The AutoLock feature receives and processes the data that contains programme
content advice sent by the broadcasters or other programme providers. When
TM
programmed by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock can respond to the content advice
and block any programme content that may be considered unsuitable (such as offensive
language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This is a great feature for censoring the type
of programmes children watch.
TM
In the AutoLock section you'll learn how to block channels and programmes that are
not rated, are unrated, or have no rating. You will also find out how to turn these
blocking features ON or OFF. Below brief explanations are given of some terms and
TM
ratings relate to the AutoLock feature.
TM
AutoLock offers a variety of Blocking Options:
BLOCKING: The BLOCKING control can be thought of as the 'master switch' for
TM.

that have no rating or are unrated. When the BLOCKING control is OFF, the blocking or
censoring of programmes is disabled. When the BLOCKING control is ON, programmes
will be blocked in accordance with the settings you have chosen.
BLOCK UNRATED: All unrated programmes will be blocked if this feature is set to ON.
UNRATED programmes are encoded with information from the MPAA (Motion Picture
Association of America) or TV broadcasters, but do not have a specific rating. In other
words, the MPAA or the TV broadcasters have chosen not to assign a rating to the
programmes.
NO RATING: All programmes with no content advisory data can be blocked if NO
RATING is set to ON.
Programmes that have No Rating are not encoded with any rating information from the
MPAA or the Parental Guidelines. Any programme could fall into this category.
You can also block individual channels or block programmes on the basis of the
ratings of the MPAA and TV broadcasters.
