Description of the On Screen Display
What is the On-Screen Display?
On-Screen Display (OSD) is a feature in all Philips LCD monitors. It allows an end user to adjust
screen performance or select functions of the monitors directly through an on-screen instruction
window. A user friendly on screen display interface is shown as below :
Basic and simple instruction on the control keys.
In the OSD shown above users can press buttons at the front bezel of the monitor to move
the cursor, to confirm the choice or change, and to adjust/select the change.

The OSD Tree
Below is an overall view of the structure of the On-Screen Display. You can use this as a reference
when you want to work your way around the different adjustments later on.

On-Screen Display
Note: 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.

On-Screen Display
To do so, open the OSD by pressing the OK button on the front of your monitor. Move the down
button to go to Color and press OK again. Use the right button to go to sRGB. Then move the down
button and press OK again to exit the OSD.
After this, please do not 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.

A
Active matrix
This is a kind of liquid crystal display structure in which switching transistors are attached to each
pixel to control the on/off voltage. It produces a brighter and sharper display with a broader viewing
angle than a passive matrix display. Also refer to TFT (thin film transistor).
Amorphous silicon (a-Si)
A semiconductor material that is used to make the thin film transistors (TFTs) layer of an active
matrix LCD.
Aspect ratio
The width-to-height ratio of the active area of a display. In general, most monitors have an aspect
ratio of 4:3. Wide monitors or TVs have an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 16:10.
B
Backlight
The light source for a transmissive LCD. There are two techniques used in nowaday LCD designs.
Most TFT LCD panels use CCFLs (cold cathode fluorescent light) and a diffuser panel directly
behind the liquid crystal layer. New technology using Light Emitting Drodes (LED) are still under
development.
Brightness
The dimension of color that is referred to an achromatic scale, ranging from black to white, also
called lightness or luminous reflectance. Because of confusion with saturation, the use of this term
should be discouraged.

Glossary
C
CCFL(cold cathode fluorescent light)
These are the fluorescent light tubes providing the light for the LCD module. These tubes are
generally very thin, approximately 2 mm in diameter.
Chromaticity
That part of color specification, which does not involve illuminance. Chromaticity is two-dimensional
and specified by pairs of numbers such as dominant wavelength and purity.
CIE (Commission International de I'Eclairage)
The International Commission on Illumination, the primary international organization concerned with
color and color measurement.
Color temperature
A measurement of the color of light radiated by an object while it is being heated. This
measurement is express in terms of absolute scale, (degrees Kelvin). Lower Kelvin temperatures
such as 2400° K are red; higher temperatures such as 9300° K are blue. Neutral temperature is
white, at 6504° K. Philips monitors generally offers 9300° K, 6500° K, and user define.
Contrast
The luminance variation between light and dark areas in an image.
Contrast ratio
The ratio of luminance between the brightest white pattern and the darkest black pattern.

Glossary
D
D-SUB
A VGA Analog input connector. Your monitor comes with a D-Sub cable.
Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) specification provides a high-speed digital connection for visual
data types that is display technology independent. The interface is primarily focused at providing a
connection between a computer and its display device. The DVI specification meets the needs of all
segments of the PC industry (workstation, desktop, laptop, etc.) and will enable these different
segments to unite around one monitor interface specification.
The DVI interface enables:
1. Reduce signal loss and video noise in signal due to less signal conversion.
2. Independent from display technology, and can be used on LCD, Plasma, LCOS, etc.
3. Plug and play through hot plug detection, EDID and DDC2B.
4. Digital and Analog support in a single connector (DVI-I only).

E
Energy Star Computers Program
An energy conservation program launched by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
promotes the manufacture and marketing of energy-efficient office automation equipment.
Companies joining this program, must be willing to commit themselves to manufacture one or more
products capable of going into a low -power state (< 30 W) either after a period of inactivity, or after
a predetermined time selected by the user.
