Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "Designed for Windows" logo signify?
The "Designed for Windows" logo means your Philips monitor fulfills the requirements and
recommendations of the PC9x (97, 98, or 99) System Design Guide and passes stringent
WHQL tests.
2. What is USB?
Think of USB as a smart plug for PC peripherals. USB automatically determines resources (like driver software
and bus bandwidth) required by peripherals. USB makes necessary resources available without user
intervention. Its three main benefits are:
USB eliminates "Case angst," the fear of removing the computer case to install circuit board cards - that
often require adjustment of complicated IRQ settings -- for add-on peripherals.
●
USB does away with "port gridlock." Without USB, PCs are normally limited to one printer, two Com port
devices (usually a mouse and modem), one Enhanced Parallel Port add-on (scanner or video camera,
for example) and a joystick. More and more peripherals for multimedia computers come on the market
every day. With USB, up to 127 devices can run simultaneously on a computer.
●
USB permits "hot plug-in." No need to shut down, plug in, reboot and run set up to install peripherals. No
need to go through the reverse process to unplug a device. Bottom line: USB transforms today's
"Plug-and-Pray" into true Plug-and-Play!
●
3. What is a USB hub?
Think of USB hub as a extension of USB ports. Normally, the PC provides only one or two USB
ports. To connect additional USB devices, you need a USB hub.
4. What is Philips Monitors USB hub solution?
Increasingly, monitors include USB hub functionality. But not all users need or want a USB hub.
To give users freedom of choice, Philips provides an optional USB hub (type number
PCUH411). The USB hub consists of two parts that are normally connected: one is functional,
the other aesthetic. The aesthetic element is a removable cover. With the cover removed, the
USB hub can be attached to the base or pedestal of monitor. The attached USB hub can be
rotated to any position around the monitor's base. With this innovative Philips solution, your
USB hub is always within reach for convenient connection and disconnection of USB
peripherals.
5. Where can I buy a USB hub for my Philips monitor?
Philips provides an optional USB hub (type number: PCUH411) which can be attached to the

base or pedestal of Philips monitors. Contact your dealer/reseller for details.
6. What models are Mac compatible?
All listed Philips monitors are Mac compatible. BUT, you may need an adapter to connect the
monitor to your Mac system. Please contact your dealer/reseller for details.
7. What is TCO?
TCO is a Swedish abbreviation for the Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees.
8. What is MPR?
MPR is a Swedish abbreviation for the Swedish National Board of Measurement and Testing.
9. What are the differences between MPRII, TCO92, TCO95, TCO99 and TCO'03?
In the general hierarchy of standards, TCO'03/TCO99 is the highest level of certification. Next
is TCO95, which is "better" than TCO92, which, in turn, is better than MPRII. Below, we
compare the standards in each category.
-TCO 92 Phase out: June 30, 2000
-TCO 95 Will be end December 31, 2003
Emissions:
MPRII: Set low emission rules for visual displays.
TCO92: Imposed more stringent standards than MPRII.

10. How do I enable the energy saving function?
Go to 'My Computer' and select 'Control Panel' followed by 'Monitor Control.' Select "All default
selection' and choose your Philips monitor model from the default driver list. Plug and Play will
automatically enable the EPA tick box for you. In DOS or Windows 3.1, you must first make
sure your PC supports power saving.
11. What is refresh rate?
"Refresh rate" describes the number of times an entire screen is vertically scanned each
second. In other words: If a monitor's refresh rate is 85 Hz, its screen is refreshed - or vertically
scanned - 85 times per second. A higher the refresh rate means better image stability and less
flicker. A high refresh rate helps users who work long hours in front of a monitor avoid eye
fatigue and stress. To change the refresh rate, go into "Start/Settings / Control Pannel / Display

/ Properties / Setting/Advance/Adaptor" Windows settings of the computer, the monitor will
automatically adjust itself to the video card.
12. Why does the picture on the screen appear to flicker?
A low refresh rate or electrical interference typically causes flickering in the picture. Possible
solutions include the following:
Verify that the proper drivers are installed for your video card
● Make sure that all electrical devices (such as mobile phones) are at least 1m from the
monitor
●
Place the monitor in another physical location away from electrical interference● Adjust the refresh rate to 75hz or higher.●
13. How do I adjust my monitor's resolution?
Available resolutions are determined by the capabilities of your video card and graphic driver.
Under Windows '95, you may select the desired available resolution through the 'Display
properties/Settings' menu.
14. How can I adjust the size, position and rotation of my screen?
Depending on the model you own, you can use your CustoMax Software, On Screen Display
(OSD) or control knobs located on the monitor.
15. What if I get lost when making monitor adjustments?
Simply press OK button then select "Reset to factory settings" to restore all settings.
16. What is LightFrame™?
LightFrame™is a Philips technology breakthrough which offers a unique and revolutionary
solution for boosting a monitor 's brightness and sharpness. With LightFrameTM, the user
experiences TV quality performance for video or photos without deterioration to the monitor 's
Frequently Asked Questions
file:///D|/EDFU/LF3/lf3manual/english/FAQ.HTM (4 of 12) [2003/3/27 ?? 10:39:51]

performance in windows used for other applications.
17. How does LightFrame™work?
LightFrame™consists of a software application and an Integrated Circuit (IC) embedded in the
monitor. Together, they boost brightness and sharpness in a user defined window or screen
area. Unique LightFrameTM technology dramatically improves photo and video display quality.
18. Why is LightFrame™important to me?
With LightFrame™, selected Philips monitors deliver TV quality video and photo display while
maintaining monitor performance for text-based applications. The result is that movies and
other video are brighter and livelier; photos are more vibrant and lifelike.
19. Will anyone else have this?
LightFrame™was invented, developed and patented by Philips. It is a unique feature that you
will find exclusively in Philips monitors.
20. Will LightFrame™shorten the life of a monitor?
No. Extensive testing has confirmed LightFrame™does not adversely affect monitor life.
Today's state-of-the-art Philips monitors employ improved phosphors and are designed for high
light output. LightFrame™normally highlights photos and videos. Though the peak brightness
of the highlighted area is strongly increased, the average brightness - a determining factor for
cathode deterioration - is not normally increased. In any case, a special Automatic Beam
Limiter (ABL) circuit keeps a monitor 's maximum average brightness within acceptable levels.
21. I get a message warning that my monitor 'may not support LightFrame™'. I am
certain my monitor does. What is wrong?
Frequently Asked Questions
file:///D|/EDFU/LF3/lf3manual/english/FAQ.HTM (5 of 12) [2003/3/27 ?? 10:39:51]

Only a Philips driver can determine if your monitor is equipped with LightFrame™; a generic
Windows driver cannot. Install the special Philips driver that came with your monitor. If the
warning continues to flash after your Philips driver is installed, ignore the message.
LightFrameTM will function properly.
22. What will happen when my system is no longer connected to a LightFrame™
enabled monitor - for example, when I take my notebook on the road?
Philips exclusive LightFrame™feature requires the combined operation of hardware that
resides in your monitor and software installed on your system. It only works when a monitor
with built-in hardware receives commands from system software. Without both the
LightFrameTM hardware equipped monitor and system software, the LightFrame™does not
function.
23. What is "XtraSpace Design" (XSD)?
XSD stands for XtraSpace Design, a Philips breakthrough that reduces a CRT display device's
footprint. Philips XSD monitors combine the world's smallest front-to-back footprint with
excellent front of screen performance.
24. How did Philips achieve XtraSpace Design?
Philips achieved this breakthrough in reduced footprint CRT display devices through short
depth tubes and a focused design process that squeezed every excess millimeter out of XSD
monitor desk space requirements.
25. What is Philips monitors' solution for audio?
Not all users need multimedia capabilities. To give users freedom of choice, Philips provides an
optional Multimedia Base (type number: 6G3B10). The Multimedia Base replaces the easily
Frequently Asked Questions
file:///D|/EDFU/LF3/lf3manual/english/FAQ.HTM (6 of 12) [2003/3/27 ?? 10:39:51]

removable standard pedestal of the monitor.
26. Which models can be incorporated with the Multimedia Base?
The following models can be incorporated with the Multimedia Base: 109B5, 109S5,107B5,
107E5,107F5, 107S5, 107T5.
27. What are Philips Multimedia Base's specifications?
See detailed Multimedia Base specifications on the product information page.
28. Why is a Multimedia Base better than separate speakers?
The major advantage of the Multimedia Base is its minimal space requirements. In fact, it
hardly uses any extra space at all: monitor depth and width are unchanged. Only the monitor's
height is increased by only 3 centimeters.
29. Where can I buy a multimedia base to incorporate with my Philips monitor?
Please contact your dealer/reseller for details.
30. What does Auto Calibrate do?
It makes your monitor perform better and last longer. As a monitor becomes older, brightness
gradually deteriorates and its colors change. This well-known process effects all monitors.
Eventually after a number of years, the monitor's brightness deteriorates to below 50% of its
original value. At this stage, the usable life of a monitor is considered ended. Auto Calibrate
regularly readjusts color temperature and luminance to their original values.
31. How does Philips Auto Calibrate feature benefit me?
Frequently Asked Questions
file:///D|/EDFU/LF3/lf3manual/english/FAQ.HTM (7 of 12) [2003/3/27 ?? 10:39:51]

With Auto Calibrate, it takes a monitor's luminance 33 percent longer to deteriorate to the 50
percent level that marks the end of a display device's useful life. Thanks to Auto Calibrate, a
monitor with a normal life of 10,000 hours, for example, would last for 13,300 hours, a full one
third longer.
32. How does Auto Calibrate work?
During the calibration process, different predefined black and white images are displayed on
thescreen. The beam currents of the red, green and blue cannon are accurately measured and
compared to the original values stored in the monitor. By readjusting gain values of the
individual cannons, deviation is reduced to zero. Default values are stored during production. If
the user sets a new color temperature, this new value is saved as the new default value.
33. When should calibration be performed?
The calibration process takes less than six seconds. During this period, different specific
images are displayed. After the process is finalized, the original image is redisplayed. Constant
re-calibration is not required. Calibration should be performed after the monitor is warmed up.
Auto Calibration takes place when a monitor receives a signal indicating an imminent switch to
its sleep mode/stand-by mode.
34. Which models of Philips monitors are equipped with Auto Calibrate feature?
Auto Calibrate is currently available in the new 201P, 201B and 109P.
35. The Main Menu displays OSD MAIN MENU LOCKED . Pressing the front control
panels hasno effect. How can I unlock this function?
Press and hold the OSD menu key for about 10 seconds until picture displays "OSD MAIN
MENU UNLOCKED"
36. My screen shows NO SYNC INPUT , how can I get rid of this?
Frequently Asked Questions
file:///D|/EDFU/LF3/lf3manual/english/FAQ.HTM (8 of 12) [2003/3/27 ?? 10:39:51]

Check the following for possible solutions:
Bent pins on the video cable
● Make sure the computer is turned on● Ensure the VGA Cable is properly connected● Ensure the BNC/D-Sub connector on the rear of the monitor is in the correct position,
newer models have this option in the On Screen Display under Input Signal Selection.
●
Video card may be not a VESA standard (try the monitor with another computer)●
37. Why does my monitor display "Out of Range"?
The video card installed in your computer may be too high for the monitor 's specifications.
Please contact your computer manufacturer for details on how to lower resolution for your
operating system.
38. What is Moire? Why does my monitor have this wavy phenomenon?
Moire is a natural effect or phenomenon of CRT that has the appearance of a wavy pattern,
which is repetitive and superimposed on the screen as ripple images. These are a few
suggestions to help reduce or minimize the effects:
Some monitors have a Moire cancellation feature, activate it to the on position or adjust
the Moire cancellation function via the OSD on the monitor.
●
Change resolution to the recommended standard for the specific monitor size. ● Change Window viewing pattern/scheme to a pattern where the Moire is less visible.● Change horizontal and vertical size to optimize the reduction of the Moire effect.●
39. What is CustoMax?
CustoMax is proprietary Philips software that allows user to control parameter (e.g. Size, Color,
Geometry) in place of the buttons on the front of the monitor. To install and run the CustoMax
software, you must have a USB compatible system and have a USB connection at the rear of
your monitor.
40. My monitor appears to be missing one or more colors. How do I correct this?
If the OSD menu is also missing a color, please contact service for details
● Set color temperature to 9300 color coordination● Check the video cable for any bent pins● Video card could be defective (try the monitor with another computer).●
