Q:How do I adjust the resolution?

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q:What are the .inf and .icm files on the 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. Your 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.

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® 95/98 with the 'Display properties/ Settings' control panel.

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?

With a VGA input, users can easily connect the 170B5 to a range of devices, from traditional desktops to newer laptops. Its energy-efficient design also contributes to its appeal, featuring eco-friendly certifications that minimize power consumption and reduce environmental impact.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Philips 170B5 is its built-in speakers, which provide surprisingly good sound quality for casual multimedia use. This eliminates the need for external speakers in many situations, saving additional desk space.

Overall, the Philips 170B5 is a reliable and performance-oriented choice for users seeking a well-rounded monitor. With its combination of advanced display technology, ergonomic features, flexible connectivity, and efficient design, it represents an excellent option for a wide range of applications, from business tasks to everyday computing needs.
