  • Page 38: Faqs (Frequently Asked Questions)

    When I install my monitor what should I do if the screen shows 'Cannot display this video with Other mode'? Peripherals • LCD Panel Recommended video mode for Philips 17": 1280x1024 @60Hz. Technology • Ergonomics, Unplug all cables, then connect your PC to the monitor that you used Ecology and previously.
  • Page 39 FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) 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. What are the .inf and .icm files on the CD-ROM? How do I install the drivers (.inf and . icm)? These are the driver files for your monitor.
  • Page 40 Do not use other solvents such as ethyl alcohol, ethanol, acetone, hexane, etc. Can the Philips LCD Monitor be mounted on the wall or used as a touch panel? Yes. Philips LCD monitors have this optional feature. The standard VESA mount holes on the back cover allows the user to mount the Philips monitor on any VESA standard ARM or accessories.
  • Page 41 Compatibility with other Peripherals Can I connect my LCD monitor to any PC, workstation or Mac? 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.
  • Page 42 FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) 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.
  • Page 43 FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) What is polarization ? 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'.
  • Page 44 FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) method. Why is vertical frequency of 60Hz optimal for an LCD monitor? 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.
  • Page 45 U.S. National Electrical Code and UL Standards. Does the LCD monitor conform to general safety standards? 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.
