SAFETY AND TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION  
2.1  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND MAINTENANCE  
WARNING: Use of controls adjustments or procedures other than those specified in this  
documentation may result in exposure to shock electrical hazards and/or mechanical  
hazards.  
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:  
Unplug the monitor if you are not going to use it for an extensive period of time.  
Unplug the monitor if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. The screen many 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.  
Only qualified service personnel should open the casing cover.  
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.  
If turning off the monitor by detaching power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds  
before attach 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.  
When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.  
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 the front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is  
caused by the shortcomings inherent in the LCD technology. In most cases the after-image  
will disappear gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off. Be  
aware that the after-image symptom cannot be repaired and is not covered under warranty.  
Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when the operating  
instructions given in this manual have been followed.

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 is 1366x768 @60Hz.  
Perform the following procedure to adjust the correct resolution:  
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 labeled 'desktop area', move the slide bar to 1366x768 pixels.  
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  
1366x768@60Hz.  
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 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.

User Manual BDL4211x  
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 the Control Panel of Windows® 95/98, Me, 2000 or XP,  
and with the 'Display properties/Settings'.  
Q: What if the Auto formatting function and 1366*768 resolution cannot be matched with the  
video source?  
A: Not all graphics cards in PC's will support the ideal panel resolution of 1366*768 for this  
product. If the resolution cannot be chosen on your desktop, the resulting video mode yields a  
warning message on the display or the image is only partly visible there are three options to  
improve the situation:  
Install Powerstrip SW (freeware SW that can be obtained from the internet  
resolution (follow the instruction in the README file).  
or  
1. change the frame rate of the video mode to 60Hz (This is usually done in the Windows  
control panel, see your Windows Help)  
2. change the desktop resolution to 1024*768. This mode should be shown without problems  
and is supported by all computers.  
Q: What if I get lost while I am making monitor adjustments?  
A: Simply press the MENU button, then select 'Factory Reset/All Settings' to recall all of the  
original factory settings.  
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. Also, be sure the AC power switch at  
the rear of the monitor is at 'ON' position.  
Q: Will the product accept an Interlace signal (only applies when connecting a PC)?  
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.

User Manual BDL4211x  
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  
(up to 3H in this Philips 42" LCD monitor). 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. Check with your Philips sales representative for more information.  
2.3.1  
SCREEN ADJUSTMENTS  
Q: When I install my monitor, how do I get the best performance from the monitor?  
A: For best performance, make sure your display settings are set at 1366x768@60Hz.  
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.  
Q: How do LCDs compare with CRTs in terms of radiation?  
A: Unlike CRT, the LCDs do not use an electron gun, so they do not generate the same amount of  
radiation at the screen surface.

2.3.2  
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 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 color-coding. PAL is used in the majority of European  
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 (color) 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.  
2.3.3 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.

User Manual BDL4211x  
Q: How are LCDs made?  
A: LCDs are created from two glass plates separated from each other at a distance of a few  
microns. The plates are filled with liquid crystal and then sealed together. The top plate is colored  
with an RGB pattern to make the color filter. Polarizers are then glued to both plates. This  
combination is sometimes called 'glass' or 'cell.' The LCD cell is assembled into a 'module' by  
adding the backlight, driver electronics and frame.  
Q: What is polarization?  
A: Polarization is basically directing light to shine in one direction. Light is electromagnetic waves.  
Electric and magnetic fields oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the propagation of the light  
beam. The direction of these fields is called the 'polarization direction'. Normal or non-polarized  
light has fields in several directions; polarized light has a field in only one direction.  
Q: What differentiates passive matrix LCDs from active matrix LCDs?  
A: An LCD is made with either a passive matrix or an active matrix display grid. An active matrix  
has a transistor located at each pixel intersection, requiring less current to control the luminance  
of a pixel. For this reason, the current in an active matrix display can be switched on and off more  
frequently, improving the screen refresh time (your mouse pointer will appear to move more  
smoothly across the screen, for example). The passive matrix LCD has a grid of conductors with  
pixels located at each intersection in the grid.  
Q: How does a TFT LCD Panel work?  
A: On each column and row of the TFT LCD panel a data source drive and a gate drive 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?  
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 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.

User Manual BDL4211x  
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.  
2.3.4  
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 product conform to general safety standards?  
A: Yes. Philips LCD monitors conform to the guidelines of MPR-II standards for the control of  
radiation, electromagnetic waves, energy reduction, electrical safety in the work environment and  
recyclability. The specification page provides detailed data on safety standards.  
NOTE: More information is provided in the Regulatory Information section.

2.4.2 SELF-TEST FEATURE CHECK (STFC)  
Your the LCD monitor when used as a computer display through DVI and/or VGA connection  
provides a self-test feature that allows you to check whether your the LCD monitor is functioning  
properly. If your LCD monitor and computer are properly connected but the LCD monitor screen  
remains dark, run the LCD monitor self-test by performing the following steps:  
1. Switch off both your computer and the LCD monitor.  
2. Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer. To ensure proper Self-Test operation,  
remove both Digital (white connector) and the Analog (blue connector) cables from the back  
of computer.  
3. Switch on the LCD monitor.  
The floating 'Philips - self-test Feature Check' dialog box should appear on-screen (against a  
black background) if the LCD Monitor cannot sense a video signal and is working correctly.  
While in self-test mode, the power LED remains green and the self-test pattern will scroll  
through the screen continually.  
This box also appears during normal system operation if the video cable becomes  
disconnected or damaged.  
4. Switch off your the LCD monitor and reconnect the video cable; then switch on both your  
computer and the LCD monitor. If your LCD monitor screen remains blank after you  
performed the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer system; your  
LCD monitor is functioning properly.

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, at PC mode, open the OSD by pressing the MENU button of your monitor. Use the  
down button to go to COLOR SETTINGS and press MENU again. Then move the down button  
to go to NORMAL COLOR and press MENU again.
