FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
TFT LCD has two glass panels and the space between them is filled with l\
iquid 
crystal. When each cell is connected with electrodes and impressed with \
voltage, the 
molecular structure of the liquid crystal is altered and controls the am\
ount of inlet 
lighting to display images. A TFT LCD has several advantages over a CRT,\
 since it 
can be very thin and no flickering occurs because it does not use the sc\
anning 
method.
 
Q: Why is vertical frequency of 60Hz optimal for an LCD monitor?
A: Unlike a CDT monitor, the TFT LCD panel has a fixed resolution. For exa\
mple, an 
XGA monitor has 1024x3 (R, G, B) x 768 pixels and a higher resolution \
may not be 
available without additional software processing. The panel is designed \
to optimize 
the display for a 65MHz dot clock, one of the standards for XGA displays\
. Since the 
vertical/horizontal frequency for this dot clock is 60Hz/48kHz, the opti\
mum frequency 
for this monitor is 60Hz.
 
Q: What kind of wide-angle technology is available? How does it work?
A: The TFT LCD panel is an element that controls/displays the inlet of a b\
acklight 
using the dual-refraction of a liquid crystal. Using the property that t\
he projection of 
inlet light refracts toward the major axis of the liquid element, it con\
trols the direction 
of inlet light and displays it. Since the refraction ratio of inlet ligh\
t on liquid crystal 
varies with the inlet angle of the light, the viewing angle of a TFT is \
much narrower 
than that of a CDT. Usually, the viewing angle refers to the point where\
 the contrast 
ratio is 10. Many ways to widen the viewing angle are currently being de\
veloped and 
the most common approach is to use a wide viewing angle film, which wide\
ns the 
viewing angle by varying the refraction ratio. IPS (In Plane Switching)\
 or MVA (Multi 
Vertical Aligned) is also used to give a wider viewing angle. 
Q: Why is there no flicker on an LCD Monitor?
A: Technically speaking, LCDs do flicker, but the cause of the phenomenon \
is 
different from that of a CRT monitor -- and it has no impact of the ease\
 of viewing. 
Flickering in an LCD monitor relates to usually undetectable luminance c\
aused by the 
difference between positive and negative voltage. On the other hand, CRT\
 flickering 
that can irritate the human eye occurs when the on/off action of the flu\
orescent object 
becomes visible. Since the reaction speed of liquid crystal in an LCD pa\
nel is much 
slower, this troublesome form of flickering is not present in an LCD dis\
play.
 
Q: Why is an LCD monitor virtually low of Electro Magnetic Interference?
A: Unlike a CRT, an LCD monitor does not have key parts that generate Elec\
tro

Magnetic Interference, especially magnetic fields. Also, since an LCD di\
splay utilizes 
relatively low power, its power supply is extremely quiet.

Q:
 What is the CE mark?
A: The CE (Conformité Européenne) mark is required to be displayed\
 on all regulated 
products offered for sale on the European market. This CE mark means t\
hat a 
product complies with the relevant European Directive. A European Direct\
ive is a 
European Law that relates to health, safety, environment and consumer \
protection, 
much the same as the U.S. National Electrical Code and UL Standards.
 
Q: Does the LCD monitor conform to general safety standards?
A: Yes. Philips LCD monitors conform to the guidelines of MPR-II and TCO 9\
9/03 
standards for the control of radiation, electromagnetic waves, energy re\
duction, 
electrical safety in the work environment and recyclability. The specifi\
cation page 
provides detailed data on safety standards.

Troubleshooting
This page deals with problems that can be corrected by a user. If the pr\
oblem still persists after you have tried these 
solutions, contact Philips customer service representative. 
Common Problems 
Having this problem Check these items
No Picture
(Power LED not lit) 
l     Make sure the power cord is plugged into the power outlet 
and into the back of the monitor. 
l     First, ensure that the power button on the front of the monitor 
is in the OFF position, then press it to the ON position.
 
No Picture
(Power LED is amber or yellow) 
l     Make sure the computer is turned on. 
l     Make sure the signal cable is properly connected to your 
computer. 
l     Check to see if the monitor cable has bent pins. 
l     The Energy Saving feature may be activated 
Screen says
l     Make sure the monitor cable is properly connected to your 
computer. (Also refer to the Quick Set-Up Guide). 
l     Check to see if the monitor cable has bent pins. 
l     Make sure the computer is turned on. 
AUTO button not working properly
l     The Auto Function is designed for use on standard Macintosh 
or IBM-compatible PCs running Microsoft Windows. 
l     It may not work properly if using nonstandard PC or video 
card.
 
Imaging Problems
Display position is incorrect
l     Press the Auto button. 
l     Adjust the image position using the Horizontal Position and/or 
Vertical Position in OSD Main Controls.
 
Image vibrates on the screen
l     Check that the signal cable is properly connected to the 
graphics board or PC.

Troubleshooting
Vertical flicker appears
l     Press the Auto button. 
l     Eliminate the vertical bars using the Phase/Clock of More 
Settings in OSD Main Controls.
 
Horizontal flicker appears
l     Press the Auto button. 
l     Eliminate the vertical bars using the Phase/Clock of More 
Settings in OSD Main Controls.
The screen is too bright or too dark
l     Adjust the contrast and brightness on OSD Main Controls. 
(The backlight of the LCD monitor has a fixed life span. When 
the screen becomes dark or begins to flicker,
 please contact 
your dealer).
An after-image appears
l     If an image remains on the screen for an extended period of 
time, it may be imprinted in the screen and leave an after-
image. This usually disappears after a few hours
An after-image remains after the power 
has been turned off.
l     This is characteristic of liquid crystal and is not caused by a 
malfunction or deterioration of the liquid crystal. The after-
image will disappear after a peroid of time.
Green, red, blue, dark, and white dots 
remainsl     The remaining dots are normal characteristic of the liquid 
crystal used in today’s technology.
 
For further assistance, refer to the Consumer Information Centers list and contact your local Philips distributor.
