A:Recommended video mode for Philips 150P/150B/140S: 1024x768 @60Hz for Philips 181AS 1280x1024@60Hz.

Unplug all cables, then connect your PC to the monitor that you used previously and which displayed correctly.

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 setting tab, in box labeled " desktop area ", move the slidebar to 1024x768 pixels .

Open " Advanced Properties " and set the Refresh Rate to 60Hz, then click OK.

.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.
