Information
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 monitors
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.

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.
SmartControl
It's a convenient alternative for adjusting monitor performances and settings through a software
interface.
SmartControl displays a properties control panel to adjust the brightness, contrast, color
temperature, position and other settings. SmartControl also displays hardware information including
the model, serial number, run hours from the interface.
The SmartControl is deployed and installed in computers using Philips monitors. So the monitors
and PC can interact with the Administrator's inquiries.

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.

5.
6.
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 (17"/19").
Open 'Advanced Properties' and set the Refresh Rate to 60Hz, then click OK.
Restart your computer and repeat step 2 and 3 to verify that your PC is set at
1280x1024@60Hz (17"/19").
Shut down your computer, disconnect your old monitor and reconnect your Philips LCD
monitor.
Turn on your monitor and then turn on your PC.
Q: What should I do when screen shows: THIS IS 85HZ OVERDRIVE, CHANGE COMPUTER
DISPLAY INPUT TO 1280 x 1024 @60HZ?
A: It means the signal input from your PC is 85Hz -- outside the range that the monitor can
display. New Generation LCD intelligent monitor capabilities temporarily override the
overscan, providing you with 10 minutes to reset timing to recommended settings.
Here's how:
Go to your Windows Start menu. Select Settings, then Control Panel. Select Display. Move to
Settings and click on the Advanced button. Under Adaptor, change the refresh rate to 56~75.
You have 10 minutes to complete the operation; if you do not complete within 10 minutes,
power off and re-power on monitor to enter changes.
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.

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 with the "Display
properties".
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.
Q: What does the Refresh Rate mean for LCD?
(2 of 9)2005-06-27 1:27:27 PM
Downloaded
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. 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.

users, there is no need to install specific LightFrameTM software on your PC. Level Two is
more sophisticated and requires installation of special LightFrameTM software. Through
LightFrameTM DR software, you can activate the feature for specific content and even select
up six different application modes: Internet, Photo, Video, TV, Gaming and sRGB.
Q: Can I upgrade my current Philips monitor to LightFrameTM DR?

A: LightFrameTM DR is a combination of special Philips hardware built into the monitor and
software. LightFrameTM DR software only works on monitors with LightFrameTM DR
hardware. While you can't upgrade from LightFrameTM 1 or 2 or 3 to DR, you can upgrade
your LightFrameTM 1 monitor to LightFrameTM 2 by installing LightFrameTM 2 software.
Q: Can I install LightFrameTM DR over a previous version?

A: When you install LightFrameTM DR the setup wizard will scan your system to check if you
have a previous version installed. If you do, the setup wizard will remove that version before
continuing with the installation of the new version. Remember: LightFrameTM DR software
only works with a monitor that has LightFrameTM DR hardware.
Q: How many windows can I simultaneously enhance with LightFrameTM DR?

A: LightFrameTM DR can enhance up to 8 windows at the same time. It is, however,
important to understand that when other windows, toolbars or menus overlap the enhanced

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
(6 of 9)2005-06-27 1:27:27 PM
Downloaded
than LED and gas-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
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 are
attached, respectively. The TFT drain of each cell is connected to the electrode. The
molecular arrangement of liquid crystal elements differ 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 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 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 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.

Q: What is the CE mark?
A: The CE (Conformit Europenne) 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.

LightFrameTM
doesn't work
If an image remains on the screen for an

extended period of time, it may be
imprinted in the screen and leave an afterimage. This usually disappears after a few
hours
This is characteristic of liquid crystal and is

not caused by a malfunction or
deterioration of the liquid crystal. The afterimage will disappear after a peroid of time.
The remaining dots are normal

characteristic of the liquid crystal used in
todays technology.

Activate the LightFrameTM software again.

outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate 3pin 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

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.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain
that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of
the lead - not simply over the three wires.

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/X6_model/english/170x6/product/pixel.htm
(1 of 3)2005-06-27 1:27:36 PM
Downloaded
One lit red, green or blue

sub pixel
Two adjacent lit sub pixels:

- Red + Blue = Purple
Three adjacent lit sub pixels
- Red + Green = Yellow
- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue) (one white pixel)
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.
