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.

Automatic Power Saving
If you have VESA's DPMS compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor can
automatically reduce its power consumption when not in use. And if an input from a keyboard, mouse or
other input device is detected, the monitor will automatically "wake up". The following table shows the
power consumption and signaling of this automatic power saving features:

5. 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.
6. 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.

7. 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:
zVerify that the proper drivers are installed for your video card
zMake sure that all electrical devices (such as mobile phones) are at least
1m from the monitor
zPlace the monitor in another physical location away from electrical
interference
zAdjust the refresh rate to 75hz or higher.
8. How do I adjust my monitor's resolution?
A
vailable 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.
9. 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.
10. What if I get lost when making monitor adjustments?
Simply press OK button then select "Reset to factory settings" to restore all
settings.
11. 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 15 seconds until picture displays
"OSD MAIN MENU UNLOCKED"
12. M
y
screen shows NO SYNC INPUT , how can I
g
et rid of this?

Check the following for possible solutions:
zBent pins on the video cable
zMake sure the computer is turned on
zEnsure the VGA Cable is properly connected
zVideo card may be not a VESA standard (try the monitor with another
computer)
13. 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.
14. 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:
zSome monitors have a Moire cancellation feature, activate it to the on
position or adjust the Moire cancellation function via the OSD on the
monitor.
zChange resolution to the recommended standard for the specific monitor
size.
zChange Window viewing pattern/scheme to a pattern where the Moire is
less visible.
zChange horizontal and vertical size to optimize the reduction of the Moire
effect.
15. My monitor appears to be missing one or more colors. How do I correct
this?
zIf the OSD menu is also missing a color, please contact service for details
zSet color temperature to 9300 color coordination
zCheck the video cable for any bent pins
zVideo card could be defective (try the monitor with another computer).
16. When I degauss my monitor, it makes a loud noise. Is this normal?
Yes, when degaussing your monitor via the OSD, it is normal for the monitor to
make a relatively loud noise. Please be aware that many models will not degauss

more than once within any given time period (up to 30 minutes). This is due to
the unit having a temperature sensitive resistor. While the unit is degaussing, the
resistor increases in value with heat and once it reaches a certain temperature,
the resistance will rise and prevent voltage from reaching the degaussing coil.
This is what stops the degausser, and this device's resistance will decrease as it
cools back off, enabling the degauss function to operate again. This is an
intentional design and is an industry standard, not just for Philips monitors. Please
be aware that not all models in the Philips range has this manual degauss
function. Some models are built with an auto degauss feature which automatically
degausses the monitor when it is switched on.
17. How do I adjust the picture on the screen?
Please perform the following to correct the picture image:
zReset your monitor via the OSD menu
zAdjust the Horz (width) and/or Vert size (height) in the OSD
zChange monitor timing to work at the recommended resolution
18. The edge of the picture on the screen appears to be distorted. How can
I correct this?
Please perform the following to correct the picture image:
zA magnetic or electrical interference typically causes poor geometry in the
picture. Place the monitor in a different physical location
zReset the monitor to the factory preset via the OSD menu
zAccess the Geometry Menu in the OSD of the Monitor and perform the
necessary adjustments
zChange the monitor timing to the recommended resolution
19. The picture appears too dim. How can I correct this?
A

zReset the monitor via the OSD menu
zChange the color temperature settings to 9300 color coordination via the
OSD menu
zSet the Contrast to maximum level (100) and Brightness to middle level (50)
Video card could be defective (try the monitor with another computer)
20. How can I increase the color display of my monitor?
The amount of video memory your video card holds determines the amount of colors that can be
displayed on your computer screen. To get the most out of your video card, you will need to either
install the latest drivers onto your computer or upgrade the video cards memory. Please check
with your computer or video card manufacturer for further details.
21. Why is there no picture on my monitor?
