G
Gamma
Screen luminance as a function of video voltage approximately follows a \
mathematical power 
function of the input video signal, the exponent of which is called gamm\
a.


Grayscale
An achromatic scale ranging from black through a series of successively \
lighter grays to white. 
Such a series may be made up of steps, which appear to be equally distan\
t from one another. If the 
Analog/ Digital converter is 8 bit, then the monitor can display at most\
 2
8 = 256 levels. For a color 
monitor, R.G.B. each color hads 256 levels. Thus, total color can displa\
y is 256x256x256= 16.7 
million.




H

Hue
The main attribute of a color that distinguishes it from other colors. F\
or example, a color may have a 
green, yellow, or purple hue. Color defined as having hue are know as ch\
romatic colors. White, 
black, and grays possess no hue.

A technique of improving the viewing angle of an LCD where the liquid cr\
ystal molecules are 
switched in the plane of the LCD layer rather than vertical to it.
 
L
LCD (liquid crystal display)
A display composed of liquid crystal suspended between two transparent s\
heets. The display is 
composed thousands of pixels which can be turned on or off with electric\
al stimulation. Thus, 
colorful images/texts can be generated.


 
Liquid crystal
The compound found in liquid crystal displays. Liquid crystal reacts pre\
dictably when electrically 
stimulated. This makes it the ideal compound to turn LCD pixels on or \
off. Liquid crystal is 
sometimes abbreviated as LC.


Luminance
A measure of the brightness or luminous intensity of light, usually expr\
essed in units of Candelas 
per square meter (cd/m2) or foot Lamberts. 1 fL=3.426 cd/m2.

N
Nit
A unit of luminance equal to 1 cd/m2 or 0.292 ftL.

Pixel
PICture Element; the smallest element on a computerized CRT or LCD image\
, and hence a display.


Polarizer
A light filter which only allows light waves of a certain rotation throu\
gh. Polarized material with 
perpendicular filtering is used in LCDs to enclose the liquid crystal. T\
he liquid crystal is then used 
as the medium which twists the light waves 90° in order to allow the \
light to pass through or not.
R
Refresh rate
The number of times per second the screen is refreshed or redrawn. This \
number is usually stated 
in Hz (Hertz) or cycles per second. A rate of 60 Hz is equal to 60 tom\
es per second.
 
S 
 
SmartContrast 
Unique technology that dynamically analyzes displayed content and automa\
tically optimizes a LCD 
monitors contrast ratio for maximum visual clarity and viewing enjoymen\
t, stepping up backlighting 
for clearer, crisper and brighter images or dimming backlighting for cle\
ar display of images on dark 
backgrounds. For monitors with SmartContrast, contrast ratio achieves 30\
00:1, the highest 
available today in a desktop LCD monitor. 
 
SmartControl II 
SmartControl II is monitor-based software with an easy-to-use on-screen \
graphic interface that 
guides you through fine-tuning resolution, color calibration and other d\
isplay settings including 
brightness, contrast, clock & phase, position, RGB, white point and - on\
 models with onboard 
speakers - volume adjustments.

. 
 
SmartManage Lite 
SmartManage Lite is a system for monitoring, managing and checking statu\
s of display devices 
designed to meet the specific needs of growing small and medium-size bus\
inesses that minimizes 
costs and maximizes IT staff efficiency by remotely controlling key disp\
lay settings, providing status 
reports, compiling usage data, overseeing energy consumption and deterri\
ng thefts
.
sRGB 
 
sRGB is a standard for ensuring correct exchange of colors between diffe\
rent devices (e.g. digital 
cameras, monitors, printers, scanners, etc.)
Using a standard unified color space, sRGB will help represent pictures \
taken by an sRGB 
compatible device correctly on your sRGB enabled Philips monitors. In th\
at way, the colors are 
calibrated and you can rely on the correctness of the colors shown on yo\
ur screen.
Important with the use of sRGB is that the brightness and contrast of yo\
ur monitor is fixed to a 
predefined setting as well as the color gamut. Therefore it is important\
 to select the sRGB setting in 
the monitors OSD.
To do so, open the OSD by pressing the OK button on the front of your mo\
nitor. Move the down 
button to go to Color and press OK again. Use the right button to go to \
sRGB. Then move the down 
button and press OK again to exit the OSD.
After this, please do not change the brightness or contrast setting of y\
our monitor. If you change 
either of these, the monitor will exit the sRGB mode and go to a color t\
emperature setting of 6500K.

nvenience.

U



USB or Universal Serial Bus
A smart plug for PC peripherals. USB automatically determines resources (like driver 
software and bus bandwidth) required by peripherals. USB makes necessar\
y resources 
available without user intervention.
µ




USB eliminates case anxiety -- the fear of removing the computer case \
to install add-
on peripherals. USB also eliminates adjustment of complicated IRQ settin\
gs when 
installing new peripherals. 
µ




USB does away with port gridlock. Without USB, PCs are normally limite\
d to one 
printer, two Com port devices (usually a mouse and modem), one Enhance\
d Parallel 
Port add-on (scanner or video camera, for example) and a joystick. Mor\
e and more 
peripherals for multimedia computers arrive on the market every day. Wit\
h USB, up to 
127 devices can run simultaneously on a computer. 
µ




USB permits hot plug-in. Theres no need to shut down, plug in, reboot\
 and run set-
up to install peripherals. And no need to go through the reverse process\
 to unplug a 
device. 
In short, USB transforms todays Plug-and-Pray into true Plug-and-Play\
! 
Hub

A Universal Serial Bus device that provides additional connections to th\
e Universal Serial 
Bus. 
Hubs are a key element in the plug-and-play architecture of USB. The Fig\
ure shows a typical 
hub. Hubs serve to simplify USB connectivity from the users perspective\
 providing low cost 
and complexity.
Hubs are wiring concentrators and enable the multiple attachment charact\
eristics of USB. 
Attachment points are referred to as ports. Each hub converts a single a\
ttachment point into 
multiple attachment points. The architecture supports concatenation of m\
ultiple hubs. 
The upstream port of a hub connects the hub towards the host. Each of th\
e other 
downstream ports of a hub allows connection to another hub or function. \
Hubs can detect, 
attach and detach at each downstream port and enable the distribution of\
 power to 
downstream devices. Each downstream port can be individually enabled and\
 configured at 
either full or low speed. The hub isolates low speed ports from full spe\
ed signaling. 
A hub consists of two portions: the Hub Controller and Hub Repeater. The\
 repeater is a 
protocol-controlled switch between the upstream port and downstream port\
s. It also has 
hardware support for reset and suspend/resume signaling. The controller \
provides the 
interface registers to allow communication to/from the host. Hub specifi\
c status and control 
commands permit the host to configure a hub and to monitor and control i\
ts ports. 
Device 
A logical or physical entity that performs a function. The actual entity\
 described depends on 
the context of the reference. At the lowest level, device may refer to a\
 single hardware 
component, as in a memory device. At a higher level, it may refer to a c\
ollection of hardware 
components that perform a particular function, such as a Universal Seria\
l Bus interface 
device. At an even higher level, device may refer to the function perfor\
med by an entity 
attached to the Universal Serial Bus; for example, a data/FAX modem devi\
ce. Devices may 
be physical, electrical, addressable, and logical.

Downstream 
The direction of data flow from the host or away from the host. A downst\
ream port is the 
port on a hub electrically farthest from the host that generates downstr\
eam data traffic from 
the hub. Downstream ports receive upstream data traffic. 
Upstream 
The direction of data flow towards the host. An upstream port is the por\
t on a device 
electrically closest to the host that generates upstream data traffic fr\
om the hub. Upstream 
ports receive downstream data traffic.
