Frequently Asked Questions

Go to 'My Computer' and select 'Control Panel' followed by "Monitor Control". Select "All default selection" and choose your Philips monitor model from the default driver list. Plug and Play will automatically enable the EPA tick box for you. In DOS or Windows 3.1, you must first make sure your PC supports power saving.

7. What is refresh rate?

"Refresh rate" describes the number of times an entire screen is vertically scanned each second. In other words: If a monitor's refresh rate is 85 Hz, its screen is refreshed - or vertically scanned - 85 times per second. A higher refresh rate means better image stability and less flicker. A high refresh rate helps users who work long hours in front of a monitor avoid eye fatigue and stress. To change the refresh rate, go into "Start/Settings / Control Pannel / Display / Properties / Setting/Advance/Adaptor" Windows settings of the computer, the monitor will automatically adjust itself to the video card.

8. Why does the picture on the screen appear to flicker?

A low refresh rate or electrical interference typically causes flickering in the picture. Possible solutions include the following:

Verify that the proper drivers are installed for your video card

Make sure that all electrical devices (such as mobile phones) are at least 1m from the monitor

Place the monitor in another physical location away from electrical interference

Adjust the refresh rate to 75hz or higher.

9.How do I adjust my monitor's resolution?

Available resolutions are determined by the capabilities of your video card and graphic driver. Under Windows '95, you may select the desired available resolution through the 'Display properties/Settings' menu.
