Q: My Monitor has no power (Power LED does not light up). What
should I do?
should I do?
A: Make sure the AC power cord is connected between the monitor and

Q: Will the LCD monitor accept an interlaced signal under PC
models?
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.

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.

*A measurement of the color of light radiated by an object while it is being
heated. This measurement is expressed in terms of absolute scale,
(degrees Kelvin). Lower Kevin temperatures such as 2004K are red;
higher temperatures such as 9300K are blue. Neutral temperature is
white, at 6504K.

Q: Can the Philips LCD Monitor be mounted on the wall?
A: Yes. Philips LCD monitors have this optional feature. For standard
VESA mount holes on the rear cover allows the user to mount the Philips
monitor on most of the VESA standard arms or accessories. We
recommend to contact your Philips sales representative for more
information.

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!
