Introduction  
TM  
Philips LightFrame feature enriches the experience of pictures and video on a Philips monitor.  
TM  
LightFrame will boost the brightness and sharpness of photos and videos on the monitor screen.  
TM  
TM  
To control the LightFrame feature in your monitor, you have to install the LightFrame application  
which you will find on this CD-ROM.  
Note  
TM  
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  
TM  
by the LightFrame logo on the front of the monitor.  
TM  
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.

TM  
1) To install LightFrame , place the CD in the CD-ROM drive.  
TM  
2) Next, when the menu of items on the CD appears on your screen, click on 'Install LightFrame '.

LightFrame 3 -- Frequently Asked Questions (and answers)  
TM  
TM  
Q: Is LightFrame 2 compatible with LightFrame 3?  
TM  
TM  
A: No. If you run LightFrame 1 or 2 software with a Philips LightFrame 3 monitor, nothing will  
happen.  
TM  
TM  
Q: Can I use LightFrame 3 software on my LightFrame 1 / 2 monitor.  
TM  
TM  
A: No for a LightFrame 1 or 2 monitor you need to use LightFrame 1 or 2 software. It is however  
TM  
TM  
possible to use the LightFrame 2 software on a LightFrame 1 monitor.  
TM  
TM  
TM  
Q: What is the difference between LightFrame 1, LightFrame 2 and LightFrame 3?  
TM  
TM  
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.  
TM  
TM  
LightFrame 2 offers the automatic detection in Internet Explorer on top of the LightFrame  
1
TM  
functions. With this feature LightFrame will automatically scan a web page in Internet Explorer, find the  
largest picture and enhance it.  
file:///D|/C/english/150p4cgbs/product/product.htm (2 of 10) [3/17/2003 7:14:09 PM]  
Product Information  
TM  
TM  
LightFrame 3 offers everything that LightFrame 2 has but now with the possibility to enhance  
TM  
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.  
TM  
Furthermore LightFrame 3 comes with an easy to activate full screen function. This is especially handy  
TM  
for games and movies. Just one click on the full screen button and LightFrame enhances your total  
monitor.  
TM  
Q: Can I upgrade my current Philips monitor to LightFrame 3?  
TM  
A: No. For LightFrame 3 Philips developed special hardware which is build into the monitor. Therefore  
TM  
upgrading from LightFrame 1 or 2 to 3 is not possible. It is however possible to upgrade your  
TM  
TM  
TM  
LightFrame 1 monitor to LightFrame 2 by installing the LightFrame 2 software.  
TM  
Q: Can I install LightFrame 3 over an older version?  
TM  
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  
TM  
the new version. Please be aware that for LightFrame 3 you also need a monitor which is capable of  
TM  
running the LightFrame 3 feature.  
Q: How many windows can I enhance at the same time?  
TM  
A: In LightFrame 3 it is possible to enhance up to 7 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.  
TM  
Q: How many pictures can LightFrame enhance in Internet Explorer?  
TM  
TM  
A: In Internet Explorer LightFrame 3 can enhance up to 14 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?  
TM  
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?  
TM  
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  
TM  
active and clicking this window will switch the enhancement off. A plus sign appears when moving over a  
TM  
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.  
TM  
Q: Can I use LightFrame with Netscape?  
TM  
A: You can use LightFrame with Netscape, but its functions are limited to manually highlighting the  
TM  
entire Netscape client window. Since LightFrame is specifically designed for bright, high contrast photo  
file:///D|/C/english/150p4cgbs/product/product.htm (3 of 10) [3/17/2003 7:14:09 PM]  
Product Information  
and video display, highlighting an entire Web page -- including text -- is not recommended.  
TM  
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.  
TM  
Q: Can I activate LightFrame on my entire screen?  
TM  
TM  
A: Yes you can. And with LightFrame 3 this becomes even easier. You just press the LightFrame  
button on the bezel to activate it.  
TM  
Q: When I apply LightFrame to a text document I get blurry characters, what is wrong?  
TM  
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  
TM  
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.  
TM  
TM  
Q: How can I tell if my monitor comes with LightFrame 3?  
TM  
A: All Philips LightFrame monitors display this logo on their front bezel:  
TM  
Q: How do I use the LightFrame 3 control bar that appears at the top my screen?  
TM  
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.

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 Adjust Color 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.  
For more information on sRGB, please visit: www.srgb.com  
TM  
Note: sRGB mode is not available while 'LightFrame ' function is activated.

LCD Liquid Crystal Display  
An alphanumeric display using the unique properties of liquid crystal to form characters. The latest flat-panel  
displays comprise a matrix of hundreds or thousands of individual LCD cells that generate text and colorful  
graphics on a screen. They consume little power though they do require external lighting to make them  
legible to the user.  
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  
file:///D|/C/english/150p4cgbs/glossary/glossary.htm (2 of 4) [3/17/2003 7:14:18 PM]  
     
Glossary  
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  
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.  
file:///D|/C/english/150p4cgbs/glossary/glossary.htm (3 of 4) [3/17/2003 7:14:18 PM]  
Glossary  
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.  
V
Vertical refresh rate  
Expressed in Hz, it is the number of frames (complete pictures) written to the screen every second.

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 14"/15": 1024x768 @60Hz for Philips 17"/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 slide bar to 1024x768 pixels (14"/15") / 1280x1024 pixels  
(17"/18").  
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 1024x768@60Hz

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)  
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 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. You 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.  
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.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)  
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.  
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.  
Screen Adjustments  
Q: What is the FPadjust program on the set-up 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.

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

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.  
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.  
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  
file:///D|/C/english/150p4cgbs/safety/saf_faq.htm (5 of 8) [3/17/2003 7:14:34 PM]  
 
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)  
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 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  
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 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.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)  
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  
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  
Standards.  
Q: Does the LCD monitor conform to general safety standards?  
file:///D|/C/english/150p4cgbs/safety/saf_faq.htm (7 of 8) [3/17/2003 7:14:34 PM]  
 
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Congratulations!  
You have just purchased a TCO'95 or TCO'99 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 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  
file:///D|/C/english/150p4cgbs/safety/regs/regulat.htm (1 of 14) [3/17/2003 7:14:36 PM]

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 labelling 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  
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.

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.  
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.

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.

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 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 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:  
file:///D|/C/english/150p4cgbs/product/pixel.htm (1 of 3) [3/17/2003 7:14:45 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)  
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.
