Compatibility with other Peripherals
Q: Can I connect my LCD monitor to any PC, workstation or Mac?
A: Yes. All Philips LCD monitors are fully compatible with standard PCs, Macs and
workstations. You may need a cable adapter to connect the monitor to your Mac
system. Please contact your Philips sales representative for more information.
Q: Are Philips LCD monitors Plug-and-Play?
A: Yes, the monitors are Plug-and-Play compatible with Windows® 95, 98, 2000 and
XP.
Q: What is USB (Universal Serial Bus)?
A: 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. There are three main
benefits of USB. USB eliminates "case anxiety," the fear of removing the computer
case to install circuit board cards -- that often requires 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 one
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!
Please refer to glossary for more information about USB.
Q: What is a USB hub ?
A: A USB hub provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus. A hub's
upstream port connects a hub to the host, usually a PC. Multiple downstream ports in
a hub allows connection to another hub or device, such as a USB keyboard, camera

LCD Panel Technology
Q: What is a Liquid Crystal Display?
A: A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is an optical device that is commonly used to
display ASCII characters and images on digital items such as watches, calculators,
portable game consoles, etc. LCD is the technology used for displays in notebooks
and other small computers. Like light-emitting diode and gas-plasma technologies,
LCD allows displays to be much thinner than cathode ray tube (CRT) technology.
LCD consumes much less power than LED and gas-displays because it works on the
principle of blocking light rather than emitting it.
Q: What differentiates passive matrix LCDs from active matrix LCDs?
A: An LCD is made with either a passive matrix or an active matrix display grid. An
active matrix has a transistor located at each pixel intersection, requiring less current
to control the luminance of a pixel. For this reason, the current in an active matrix
display can be switched on and off more frequently, improving the screen refresh time
(your mouse pointer will appear to move more smoothly across the screen, for
example). The passive matrix LCD has a grid of conductors with pixels located at
each intersection in the grid.
Q: What are the advantages of TFT LCD compared with CRT?
A: In a CRT monitor, a gun shoots electrons and general light by colliding polarized
electrons on fluorescent glass. Therefore, CRT monitors basically operate with an
analog RGB signal. A TFT LCD monitor is a device that displays an input image by
operating a liquid crystal panel. The TFT has a fundamentally different structure than
a CRT: Each cell has an active matrix structure and independent active elements. A
TFT LCD has two glass panels and the space between them is filled with liquid
crystal. When each cell is connected with electrodes and impressed with voltage, the
molecular structure of the liquid crystal is altered and controls the amount of inlet
lighting to display images. A TFT LCD has several advantages over a CRT, since it
can be very thin and no flickering occurs because it does not use the scanning

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
method.
Q: Why is vertical frequency of 60Hz optimal for an LCD monitor?
A: Unlike a CDT monitor, the TFT LCD panel has a fixed resolution. For example, an
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 optimum 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 backlight
using the dual-refraction of a liquid crystal. Using the property that the projection of
inlet light refracts toward the major axis of the liquid element, it controls the direction
of inlet light and displays it. Since the refraction ratio of inlet light 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 developed and
the most common approach is to use a wide viewing angle film, which widens 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 caused 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 fluorescent object
becomes visible. Since the reaction speed of liquid crystal in an LCD panel is much
slower, this troublesome form of flickering is not present in an LCD display.
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 Electro
Magnetic Interference, especially magnetic fields. Also, since an LCD display utilizes
relatively low power, its power supply is extremely quiet.
