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:
●
To protect your display from possible damage, do not put excessive pressure on the LCD
panel. When moving your monitor, grasp the frame to lift; do not lift the monitor by
placing your hand or fingers on the LCD panel.
●
●
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
afterimage will disappear gradually over a period of time after the power has been
switched off. Be aware, that the afterimage symptom cannot be repaired and is not
covered under warranty.
●
●
●
Warning for lifting monitor - Do not use the area underneath the logo cover to grip or lift
the monitor. Placing weight on the logo cover can cause it to break away from the body
and cause the monitor to fall. When lifting the monitor, place one hand under the
monitor's frame.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
General FAQs
Q: When I install my monitor what should I do if the screen shows 'Cannot display this video
mode'?
A: Recommended video mode for Philips 19": 1280x1024 @60Hz.
1. Unplug all cables, then connect your PC to the monitor that you used
previously.
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 setting tab, in box labeled 'desktop area', move the
slidebar to 1280x1024 pixels (19").
3. Open 'Advanced Properties' and set the Refresh Rate to 60Hz, then click OK.
4. Restart your computer and repeat step 2 and 3 to verify that your PC is set at
1280x1024@60Hz (19").
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 85Hz and
60Hz.
Q: What are the .inf and .icm files on the CD-ROM? How do I install the drivers (.inf and .
icm)?
A: These are the driver files for your monitor. Follow the instructions in your user
manual to install the drivers. Your computer may ask you for monitor drivers (.inf and .
icm files) or a driver disk when you first install your monitor. Follow the instructions to
insert the ( companion CD-ROM) included in this package. Monitor drivers (.inf and .
icm files) will be installed automatically.
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® Control Panel

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
with the "Display properties".
Q: What if I get lost when I am making monitor adjustments?
A: Simply press the OK 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 by pressing of a single button – without the need to navigate through OSD
(On Screen Display) menus and control keys.
Note: Auto function is available in selected models from D-sub input.
Q: My Monitor has no power (Power LED does not light up). What should I do?
A: Make sure the AC power cord is connected between the monitor and AC outlet,
and click a key on keyboard/mouse to wake up the PC.
Q: Will the LCD monitor accept an interlaced signal under PC models?
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.

3. Run FPadjust by double clicking the shortcut. Follow the instructions step by
step to optimize image performance with your system's video controller.
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.

contains two types of analog and digital EDID. Digital EDID will set as the default and
analog EDID will automatically change refer to analog signal. This is likely that your
PC read EDID type before making decision to send analog or digital from DVI-I port.
However, this compatibility limitation is rarely found on PC, workstation, or Mac.
Q: What is USB (Universal Serial Bus)?
A: 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. There are three main
benefits of USB. USB eliminates "case anxiety," the fear of removing the computer
case to install circuit board cards -- that often requires 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 one
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!
Please refer to glossary for more information about USB.
Q: What is a USB hub ?
A: A USB hub provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus. A hub's
upstream port connects a hub to the host, usually a PC. Multiple downstream ports in
a hub allows connection to another hub or device, such as a USB keyboard, camera
or printer.
Q: What can I do if my USB peripherals don't work with the USB hub of my monitor?
A: If you experience the problem, just detach and re-attach the USB hub cable
between PC and your monitor, then refresh your PC device manager (Start > Setting
> Control panel > System > Hardware > Device manager > Refresh) or reboot your
PC and the problem can be solved by above procedures.
LCD Panel Technology
Q: What is a Liquid Crystal Display?
file:///D|/My%20Documents/dfu/190X7/english/190x7/safety/saf_faq.htm (5 of 8)2006-12-06 2:44:02 PM
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
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: 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: 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
file:///D|/My%20Documents/dfu/190X7/english/190x7/safety/saf_faq.htm (6 of 8)2006-12-06 2:44:02 PM
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
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.
Q: Why is an LCD monitor virtually low 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 and TCO 99/03
standards for the control of radiation, electromagnetic waves, energy reduction,
electrical safety in the work environment and recyclability. The specification page
provides detailed data on safety standards.

Information for UK only
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.

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")

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'. That
is, a bright dot is a sub-pixel that stands out on the screen when the monitor displays a dark pattern.
There are the types of bright dot defects:
file:///D|/My%20Documents/dfu/190X7/english/190x7/product/pixel.htm (1 of 3)2006-12-06 2:44:20 PM
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)
A red or blue bright dot must be more than 50 percent brighter than neighboring dots
while a green bright dot is 30 percent brighter than neighboring dots.
Black Dot Defects Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always dark or 'off'. That
is, a dark dot is a sub-pixel that stands out on the screen when the monitor displays a light pattern.
These are the types of black dot defects:
One dark sub pixel
Two or three adjacent dark sub pixels
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.

Description of the On Screen Display
What is the On-Screen Display?
On-Screen Display (OSD) is a feature in all Philips LCD monitors. It allows an end user to adjust
screen performance or select functions of the monitors directly through an on-screen instruction
window. A user friendly on screen display interface is shown as below :
Basic and simple instruction on the control keys.
In the OSD shown above users can press
buttons on the right side of the monitor to move
the cursor,
to confirm the choice or change, and to adjust/select the change.
The OSD Tree
Below is an overall view of the structure of the On-Screen Display. You can use this as a reference
when you want to work your way around the different adjustments later on.

On-Screen Display
Note: 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 side of your monitor. Move the down
button to go to Color and press OK again. Use the right button to go to sRGB. Then move the down
button and press OK again to exit the OSD.
After this, please do not change the brightness or contrast setting of your monitor. If you change
either of these, the monitor will exit the sRGB mode and go to a color temperature setting of 6500K.

A
Active matrix
This is a kind of liquid crystal display structure in which switching transistors are attached to each
pixel to control the on/off voltage. It produces a brighter and sharper display with a broader viewing
angle than a passive matrix display. Also refer to TFT (thin film transistor).
Amorphous silicon (a-Si)
A semiconductor material that is used to make the thin film transistors (TFTs) layer of an active
matrix LCD.
Aspect ratio
The width-to-height ratio of the active area of a display. In general, most monitors have an aspect
ratio of 4:3 or 5:4. Wide monitors or TVs have an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 16:10.
Brightness
The dimension of color that is referred to an achromatic scale, ranging from black to white, also
called lightness or luminous reflectance. Because of confusion with saturation, the use of this term
should be discouraged.

C
CCFL(cold cathode fluorescent light)
These are the fluorescent light tubes providing the light for the LCD module. These tubes are
generally very thin, approximately 2 mm in diameter.
Chromaticity
That part of color specification, which does not involve illuminance. Chromaticity is two-dimensional
and specified by pairs of numbers such as dominant wavelength and purity.
CIE (Commission International de I'Eclairage)
The International Commission on Illumination, the primary international organization concerned with
color and color measurement.
Color temperature
A measurement of the color of light radiated by an object while it is being heated. This
measurement is express in terms of absolute scale, (degrees Kelvin). Lower Kelvin temperatures
such as 2400° K are red; higher temperatures such as 9300° K are blue. Neutral temperature is
white, at 6504° K. Philips monitors generally offers 9300° K, 6500° K, and user define.
Contrast
The luminance variation between light and dark areas in an image.
Contrast ratio
The ratio of luminance between the brightest white pattern and the darkest black pattern.

D
Dual Input
Dual input provides connectors to accommodate input of both analog VGA and digital DVI signals.
D-SUB
A VGA Analog input connector. Your monitor comes with a D-Sub cable.
Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) specification provides a high-speed digital connection for visual
data types that is display technology independent. The interface is primarily focused at providing a
connection between a computer and its display device. The DVI specification meets the needs of all
segments of the PC industry (workstation, desktop, laptop, etc.) and will enable these different
segments to unite around one monitor interface specification.
The DVI interface enables:
1. Reduce signal loss and video noise in signal due to less signal conversion.
2. Independent from display technology, and can be used on LCD, Plasma, LCOS, etc.
3. Plug and play through hot plug detection, EDID and DDC2B.
4. Digital and Analog support in a single connector (DVI-I only).
E
Embedded Power Supply
An embedded power supply is a power adaptor built into the body of a display device that replaces
a bulky external power adaptor.
Energy Star Computers Program
An energy conservation program launched by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
promotes the manufacture and marketing of energy-efficient office automation equipment.
Companies joining this program, must be willing to commit themselves to manufacture one or more

products capable of going into a low -power state (< 30 W) either after a period of inactivity, or after
a predetermined time selected by the user.
Gamma
Screen luminance as a function of video voltage approximately follows a mathematical power
function of the input video signal, the exponent of which is called gamma.
Grayscale
An achromatic scale ranging from black through a series of successively lighter grays to white.
Such a series may be made up of steps, which appear to be equally distant from one another. If the
8
Analog/ Digital converter is 8 bit, then the monitor can display at most 2 = 256 levels. For a color
monitor, R.G.B. each color hads 256 levels. Thus, total color can display is 256x256x256= 16.7
million.
Hue
The main attribute of a color that distinguishes it from other colors. For example, a color may have a
green, yellow, or purple hue. Color defined as having hue are know as chromatic colors. White,
black, and grays possess no hue.

IPS (In Plane Switching)
A technique of improving the viewing angle of an LCD where the liquid crystal molecules are
switched in the plane of the LCD layer rather than vertical to it.
L
LCD (liquid crystal display)
A display composed of liquid crystal suspended between two transparent sheets. The display is
composed thousands of pixels which can be turned on or off with electrical stimulation. Thus,
colorful images/texts can be generated.
Liquid crystal
The compound found in liquid crystal displays. Liquid crystal reacts predictably when electrically
stimulated. This makes it the ideal compound to turn LCD pixels "on" or "off." Liquid crystal is
sometimes abbreviated as LC.
Luminance
A measure of the brightness or luminous intensity of light, usually expressed in units of Candelas
per square meter (cd/m2) or foot Lamberts. 1 fL=3.426 cd/m2.
Nit
A unit of luminance equal to 1 cd/m2 or 0.292 ftL.

Pixel
PICture Element; the smallest element on a computerized CRT or LCD image, and hence a display.
Polarizer
A light filter which only allows light waves of a certain rotation through. Polarized material with
perpendicular filtering is used in LCDs to enclose the liquid crystal. The liquid crystal is then used
as the medium which twists the light waves 90° in order to allow the light to pass through or not.
Refresh rate
The number of times per second the screen is refreshed or redrawn. This number is usually stated
in Hz (Hertz) or cycles per second. A rate of 60 Hz is equal to 60 tomes per second.
Response Time
Response time is the period required for a liquid crystal cell to go from active (black) to inactive
(white) and back to active (black) again. It is measured in milliseconds. Faster is better: Lower
response time means faster transitions and, therefore, results in fewer visible image artifacts in the
display of fast-moving images.
S
SmartControl
PC software for fine tuning display performance and settings. Philips offers users two choices for
display setting adjustment. Either navigate the multilevel On Screen Display menu through buttons
on the display itself or use the Philips SmartControl software to easily adjust the various display
settings in a familiar way.

SmartTouch controls
SmartTouch controls are intelligent, ultra-responsive, touch sensitive icons that replace protruding
buttons. Responding to your lightest touch, SmartTouch controls, for example, power up your
monitor or brighten and sharpen your display with LightFrame™. When activated, SmartTouch
icons glow to indicate that your commands have been implemented.
Stand-alone audio function
Built-in advanced firmware that delivers audio output from external audio devices including a
portable tape, CD or MP3 player even when there is no video input.
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 side of your monitor. Move the down
button to go to Color and press OK again. Use the right button to go to sRGB. Then move the down
button and press OK again to exit the OSD.
After this, please do not change the brightness or contrast setting of your monitor. If you change
either of these, the monitor will exit the sRGB mode and go to a color temperature setting of 6500K.
Other:
