sRGB
sRGB is a standard for ensuring correct exchange of colors between different 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 that way, the colors are calibrated and you
can rely on the correctness of the colors shown on your screen.
Important with the use of sRGB is that the brightness and contrast of your monitor is fixed to a
predefined setting as well as the color gamut. Therefore it is important to select the sRGB setting in the
monitor's OSD.
To do so, open the OSD by pressing the OK button on the front of your monitor. Use the down button to
go to Color temperature and press OK again. Then move the down button to go to sRGB and press OK
again.
Exit this OSD.
After this, please don't change the brightness or contrast setting of your monitor. If you change either of
these, the monitor will exit the sRGB mode and go to a color temperature setting of 6500K.
For more information on sRGB, please visit: www.srgb.com

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.
Frequently Asked Questions
file:///D|/EDFU/LF3/lf3manual/english/FAQ.HTM (1 of 12) [2002/9/2 ?? 04:24:06]

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, and TCO99?
In the general hierarchy of standards, 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.
Emissions:
MPRII: Set low emission rules for visual displays.
TCO92: Imposed more stringent standards than MPRII.
TCO95: Further toughened TCO92 rules.
TCO99: Delineated even more severe standards and test procedures than TCO95.
Safety:
MPRII: No requirement.
TCO92/95/99: All set requirements.
Energy Saving:
MPRII: No requirement.
TCO92: Standby mode < 30W, Off mode < 8W
Frequently Asked Questions
file:///D|/EDFU/LF3/lf3manual/english/FAQ.HTM (2 of 12) [2002/9/2 ?? 04:24:06]

TCO95: Standby mode < 30W, Off mode < 8W
TCO99: Standby mode < 15W, Off mode < 5W
Visual Ergonomics:
MPRII: No requirement.
TCO92: No requirement.
TCO95: Set ergonomic rules including minimum contrast level, flicker and jitter.
TCO99: Tightened TCO95 rules.
Ecology:
MPRII: No requirement.
TCO92: No requirement.
TCO95: Set general ecological standards including recycling preparation, environmental policy
and environmental certification.
TCO99: Further tightened TCO95 norms.
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?
Frequently Asked Questions
file:///D|/EDFU/LF3/lf3manual/english/FAQ.HTM (3 of 12) [2002/9/2 ?? 04:24:06]

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¡ª
● 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
performance in windows used for other applications.
17. How does LightFrame"work?
Frequently Asked Questions
file:///D|/EDFU/LF3/lf3manual/english/FAQ.HTM (4 of 12) [2002/9/2 ?? 04:24:06]

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?
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.
