FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
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 
ration is 10. Many ways to widen the viewing angle are currently being d\
eveloped 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.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Ergonomics, Ecology and Safety Standards
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.
 
Q:
 After I change new PC, I found this information on screen, how can I do\
?
 
A:
 Because you activate Theft Deterrence function in SmartControl II. Plea\
se contact 
IT manager or Philips Service Center.

television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment o\
ff and on, the user 
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the f\
ollowing measures:
 
l     Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. l     Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. l     Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to\
 which the receiver is connected. l     Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible\
 for compliance 
could void the users authority to operate the equipment. 
Use only RF shielded cable that was supplied with the monitor when conne\
cting this monitor to a computer 
device.
