FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

30~61kHz and Vertical refresh rate 56~75Hz. However, users of monitors (of all brands, including Philips) may encounter certain limitations when viewing Microsoft Windows on a monitor operating at 75Hz with Horizontal Frequency 30~61kHz. To serve specific needs on 75Hz, Philips provides a special driver which can work for this. This special information file is now available at website www.p4c.philips.com, and also can be found inside the CD-ROM with the following directory path

../pc/drivers/special for your quick installation.

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 Me & 2000/XP 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 power cord is connected to the Monitor.

Q:Will the product 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?

A:Unlike CRT display technology, in which the speed at which 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.
