FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q:Does Refresh Rate mean to LCD?

A:Unlike CRT display technology in which the speed 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 thus refresh rate is not really applicable to LCD technology.

Q:Will the LCD screen resistant scratches?

A:A protective coating is applied onto the surface of the LCD, which is durable up to a certain

extent of hardness (approximately up to the hardness of a 2H pencil). In general, it is recommended not to expose the panel surface to any excessive shocks or scratches. An optional protective cover with greater scratch resistance is also available.

Q:How should I clean the LCD surface?

A:For normal cleaning, use the clean, soft and fine. For extensive cleaning, please use Isopropyl alcohol. Do not use other solvents such as ethyl alcohol, ethanol, acetone, hexane, etc.

Q:Can the Philips LCD Monitor be hung on the wall or used as touch panel?

A:Yes, Philips Brilliance LCD monitors have this optional feature. The standard VESA mount holes

on back cover that allows user to mount the Philips monitor on any VESA standard ARM or accessories. Touch panels are being developed for future applications. Check with your Philips sales representative for more information.
