General FAQs

Q: When I install my monitor how do I do if the screen shows "Cannot display this video mode"?

A: Recommended video mode for Philips 150P: 1024x768@60Hz.

Unplug all cables, then connect your PC to the monitor that you used previously and which displayed

correctly.

●

In the Windows Start Menu, select Settings/Control Panel. In the Control Panel Window, select the

Display icon. Inside the Display Control Panel, select the "Settings" tab. Under the setting tab, in box

labeled "desktop area", move the slidebar to 1024x768 pixels .

●

Open "Advanced Properties" and set the Refresh Rate to 60Hz, then click OK.● Restart your computer and repeat step 2 and 3 to verify that your PC is set at 1024x768, 60Hz.● Shut down your computer, disconnect your old monitor and reconnect your Philips LCD monitor.● Turn on your monitor and then turn on your PC●

Q: What does "refresh rate" mean to me in an LCD monitor?

A: For LCD monitors, the refresh rate is much less relevant. LCD monitors display a stable,

flicker-free image at 60Hz. There is no visible differences between 85Hz and 60Hz.

Q: What are the .inf and .icm files on the setup disk & CD-ROM? How do I install the drivers (.inf and

.icm)?

A: These are the driver files for your monitor. Follow the instructions in your user manual to install

the drivers. You computer may ask you for monitor drivers (.inf and .icm files) or a driver disk when

you first install your monitor. Follow the instructions to insert the driver disk (either floppy or

CD-ROM) included in this package. Monitor drivers (.inf and .icm files) will be installed

automatically.

Q: How do I adjust resolution?

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

file:///E|/manual/english/150P/safety/saf_faq.htm (1 of 9) [12/13/1999 8:00:09 PM]

A: Your video card/graphic driver and monitor together determine the available resolutions. You

can select desired resolution under Window 95/98 with the "Display properties/Settings" control

panel

Q: What if I get lost when making monitor adjustments?

A: Simply press the OSD button, then select "Reset" to recall all original settings.

Q: What is the Auto function?

A: The AUTO adjustment key restores optimal screen position, phase and clock settings with the

press of a single button – without navigation through OSD menus and control keys.

Q: My Monitor has no power (Power LED does not light) ? What should I do?

A: Make sure the DC Jack in the pedestal is connected to the Monitor.

Q: Will the 150P accept an Interlaced signal?

A: No If an Interlace signal is used, the screen displays both odd and even horizontal scanning lines

at the same time, distorting the picture.

Q: Does Refresh Rate mean to LCD?

A: Unlike CRT display technology in which the speed the electron beam is swept from the top to the

bottom of the screen determines flicker, an active matrix display uses an active element (TFT) to

control each individual pixel and thus refresh rate is not really applicable to LCD technology.

Q: Will the LCD screen resist scratches?

A: A protective coating is applied onto the surface of the LCD, which is durable up to a certain

extent of hardness (approximately up to the hardness of a 2H pencil). In general, it is recommended

not to expose the panel surface to any excessive shocks or scratches. An optional protective cover

with greater scratch resistance is also available.

Screen Adjustments

Q: What is CustoMax® and what models are compatible?

A: CustoMax® is proprietary Philips software that allows users to adjust monitor via software

instead of control keys under Windows base. With the Philips Brilliance 150P, CustoMax® operates

via a USB connection to PC. All Philips 150P models are CustoMax® compatible, but your computer

must support USB in order to use CustoMax®.

Q: What is the FPadjust program on the setup disk and CD-ROM?

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

file:///E|/manual/english/150P/safety/saf_faq.htm (3 of 9) [12/13/1999 8:00:09 PM]

A: The FPadjust program generates alignment patterns that help you adjust monitor settings such

as Contrast, Brightness, Horizontal Position, Vertical Position Phase, and Clock for optimal

performance.

Q: When I install my monitor, how do I get the best performance for the monitor?

For best performance, make sure your display settings are set at 1280x1024@60Hz. Note: You can

check the current display settings by pressing the OSD OK button once. The current display mode is

shown at the bottom on the menu window.

To install the Flat Panel Adjust (FPadjust) program located on the monitor setup disk or CD-ROM,

open the setup disk or CD-ROM and double-click the FPadjust.exe icon. This will install FP Adjust

automatically and place a shortcut on your desktop.

Run FPadjust by double clicking the shortcut. Follow the instructions step by step to optimize image

performance with your system's video controller.

Q: How do LCDs compare to CRTs in terms of radiation?

A: Because LCDs do not use an electron gun, they do not generate the same amount of radiation at

the screen surface.

Q: What is the screen size enlarge function?

A: User want the best possible display quality regardless of the size of the image. However LCD

panel characteristics require some tradeoffs. For example, the 150P highest resolution is 1024x768.

In other words, there are 1024x768x or786,432 pixels on this 15-inch LCD screen. When the monitor

needs to display at a lower resolution, say 640x480, the image on the screen is smaller because it

requires fewer pixels. The 150P can expand a low-resolution screen to any desired size including a

full screen. In the expansion mode, users have a choice between size and display accuracy.

Q: How can I adjust the screen?

A: The screen brightness may be adjusted using the Brightness control in the OSD. Scaling an

image in this manner results in slight brightness "fuzziness" or distortion.

Compatibility with other Peripherals

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

file:///E|/manual/english/150P/safety/saf_faq.htm (4 of 9) [12/13/1999 8:00:09 PM]

Q: Can I connect my 150P LCD monitor to any PC, workstation or Mac?

A: Yes, all Philips LCD monitors are fully compatible with standard PC, Mac and workstation. You

may need a cable adapter to connect the monitor to your Mac system. Please contact your

dealer/reseller for details.

Q: Are Philips LCD monitors Plug-and-Play?

A: Yes, the monitors are Plug-and-Play compatible with Windows® 95, 98 and the PC98/99

platforms.

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

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 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!

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 or printer.

Q: Do LCDs support color matching?

A: Not at this time.

LCD Panel Technology

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

file:///E|/manual/english/150P/safety/saf_faq.htm (5 of 9) [12/13/1999 8:00:09 PM]

Q: What is 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 notebook 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-display displays because

they work on the principle of blocking light rather than emitting it.

Q: How are LCDs made?

A: LCDs are created from two glass plates separated from each other at a distance of a few

microns. Plates are filled with liquid crystal, then seals together. The top plate is colored with a RGB

pattern to make the color filter. Then polarizers are glued to both plates. This combination is

sometimes called "glass" or "cell." The LCD cell is assembled into a "module" by adding the

backlight, driver electronics and frame.

Q: What is the structure of TFT LCD ?

A: The LCD TFT components include:

Polarizing filter : Regulates in and out

● Glass substrate : With electrodes● Transparent electrodes : These electrodes with high transparency ratios are used to operate the LCD

materials.

●

Alignment layer : Films used to align liquid crystal elements in fixed direction● Liquid crystal● Spacer : Keeps a consistent gap between two glass plates● Color filter : Displays all colors with RGB filter● Backlighting : Sends light to the screen.●

In the active matrix LCD, a switching transistor (TFT) and a diode are attached to each of the color elements

to turn each element on/off. X and Y electrodes are attached to the same circuit board as the TFT is

arranged. Switching signal is impressed on X electrode and video signal is Y electrode.

Q: What is polarization ?

A: Polarization is basically directing light to shine in one direction. Light is electromagnetic wave.

Electric and magnetic fields oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the propagation of the light

beam. The direction of these fields is called "polarization direction." Normal or non-polarized light

has fields in several directions; polarized light has a field in only one direction.
