LightFrame??? for Windows

Introduction

Philips LightFrame??? feature enriches the experience of pictures and video on a Philips CRT (picture tube) monitor. LightFrame??? will boost the brightness and sharpness of photos and videos on the monitor screen.

To control the LightFrame??? feature in your monitor, you have to install the LightFrame??? application which you will find on this CD-ROM.

Note

Philips LightFrame??? will only work with monitors that have been built to use this software. Earlier Philips monitors or other manufacturers??? monitors will not work with this special software. It is recommended that you install this software only on a Philips monitor designed to use it. These monitors can be identified by the LightFrame??? logo on the front of the monitor.

This software is not designed for use with LCD flat screen monitors.

LightFrame??? will work with true Windows-based programs and DOS-based programs that operate in a Windows environment. It will not work with DOS-based programs operating only in a DOS environment.

LightFrame??? 2 -- Frequently Asked Questions (and answers)

LightFrame???

Q.What is LightFrame????

A.LightFrame??? is an exclusive Philips hardware/software technology for the brightest, highest

contrast-ever on-demand display of photos and video on a monitor. It enhances the display quality of photos and videos in a selected window without impacting upon display of text-based applications.

file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/107X/product/product.htm (2 of 12) [10/3/2001 4:11:40 PM]

107X Product Information

Q.What is LightFrame??? 2?

A.LightFrame2 is a second-generation software package that ??? working in conjunction with factory installed

LightFrame??? hardware ??? adds great new features to LightFrame???.

Q: How can I tell if my monitor comes with LightFrame??? 2?

A: All Philips LightFrame??? 2 monitors display this logo on their front bezel:

Q: How does LightFrame??? work?

A: 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

LightFrame??? technology dramatically improves photo and video display quality.

Q: Is the size of the LightFrame??? screen limited?

A: No. You can select a single window or, using the drag mode, select the entire display area.The only

limitation is the visible screen area of your monitor. The minimum size of a LightFrame??? dragged area is 20 by 20 pixels.

Q: Will LightFrame??? shorten the life of a monitor? Is phosphor burn-in a potential problem?

A: No. Extensive testing has confirmed that LightFrame??? does not adversely effect 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 video. 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.

Upgrading to LightFrame??? 2

Q: How do I upgrade from LightFrame??? to LightFrame??? 2?

A: It???s easy: Download LightFrame??? 2 software for any monitor equipped with LightFrame from the Philips web site (www.pcstuff.philips.com). Remember the directory into which you saved the upgrade. When you

click on the downloaded program icon, LightFrame??? 2 scans your system, removes old versions and upgrades automatically to LightFrame??? 2. But remember: Your monitor must have the LightFrame??? feature to upgrade to LightFrame??? 2.

file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/107X/product/product.htm (3 of 12) [10/3/2001 4:11:40 PM]

107X Product Information

Q: Can I install LightFrame??? 2 over an older version? Must previous versions be uninstalled?

A: The LightFrame??? 2 installation program scans your system, removes old versions and upgrades

automatically to LightFrame??? 2. Here???s how: If you downloaded the upgrade from the Philips Web site, remember the directory into which you saved the upgrade. When you click on the Setup icon, LightFrame???

2 scans your system, removes old versions and upgrades automatically to LightFrame??? 2. To upgrade from a CD-ROM disk, click on the Setup icon located in the \PC\LightFrame??? folder, select Install LightFrame??? 2 and follow on screen prompts.

Q: What will happen when my system is no longer connected to a LightFrame???-enabled monitor ??? for example, when I take my notebook on the road?

A: Philips exclusive LightFrame??? feature requires the combined operation of hardware that resides in your

monitor and software installed on your system. It only works when a monitor with built-in hardware receives commands from system software. Without both the LightFrame??? hardware-equipped monitor and system software, LightFrame??? does not function.

Q: What???s new in LightFrame??? 2?

A: LightFrame??? 2 is full of neat new features: Here are just a few:

-Automatic detection of photos and videos on Web pages.

-Full screen highlighting through a Windows keyboard shortcut.

-Improved compatibility with multimedia applications.

To experience these and other new features, start using LightFrame??? 2 today!

LightFrame???2 applications and operating systems

Q: Can I use LightFrame???2 in DOS mode?

A: Yes, but in DOS, LightFrame??? 2 highlights the entire screen and must be manually switched on from the

OSD menu. Here???s how: Open your monitor???s OSD controls. Go to LIGHTFRAME in the EXTRA CONTROLS menu. Press the left/right button to switch LightFrame??? on or off.

Q: Can I use LightFrame??? 2 with my favorite game?

A: Absolutely. LightFrame??? can be used with any Windows game. When a DOS game runs in a DOS

window, LightFrame??? must be manually switched on from the OSD menu. Here???s how: Open your

monitor???s OSD controls. Go to LIGHTFRAME in the EXTRA CONTROLS menu. Press the left/right button to switch LightFrame??? on or off.

Q: Does LightFrame??? 2 work on Mac computers?

A: Yes. Using drives that come with your monitor, LightFrame??? operates under MacOS8 or MacOS9. Due to hardware limitations, LightFrame??? is activated manually on Mac computers and functions are limited.

Q: Can I use LightFrame??? on a computer running Unix, Linux or other operating system?

A: Presently no application software exists for Unix or Linux. Unix is predominately used for high-end

professional applications. Because their users seldom view photos or video, our high-end large screen products do not support LightFrame???.

Q: Does LightFrame??? consume excessive system resources?

file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/107X/product/product.htm (4 of 12) [10/3/2001 4:11:40 PM]

107X Product Information

A: Because the monitor handles LightFrame??? processing, the feature consumes no system resources when

a portion of the screen is highlighted. Installed on a PC, the small LightFrame??? application program is active in the Windows system tray, but remains idle until a window is selected for highlighting. As soon as the monitor receives the initiate command from this software, the application again becomes idle, consuming few if any system resources. On rare occasions when a memory-hungry application pushes system resources to their limit, LightFrame??? can be easily exited to free up additional resources.

Q: Can I highlight two or more areas in the screen at the same time?

A: No. Monitor hardware processes only a single rectangular area.

Q: I get a message warning that my monitor 'may not support LightFrame???.??? I am certain my monitor does. What is wrong?

A: 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 appear after your Philips driver is installed, ignore the message. LightFrame??? will function properly. You can avoid seeing the message by checking ???Don???t show this message again???.

Q: Is LightFrame??? software or hardware-based?

A: LightFrame??? consists of two important components: a chip in the monitor and software to control this chip. Therefore, LightFrame??? is a seamless interactive combination of both software and hardware.

LightFrame??? 2 and the Internet

Q: Can I use LightFrame??? to browse the Internet?

A: Yes. Integration with Internet Explorer is one of LightFrame??????s neatest new features. Now when you

open a Web page, LightFrame??? 2 scans LightFrame??? scans the document for a photo or video and highlights suitable material. Note: When more than one photo is displayed on a Web page, LightFrame??? highlights the largest. If multiple photos are the same size, LightFrame??? highlights top leftmost one. You can select a different photo manually. Here???s how: Click the LightFrame??? On/Off button. Then hold down

the left mouse button and drag a frame around the photo. When you release the mouse button, the selected area is highlighted by LightFrame???.

Q: Can I use LightFrame??? with Netscape?

A: You can use LightFrame??? with Netscape, but its functions are limited to manually highlighting the entire

Netscape client window. Since LightFrame??? is specifically designed for bright, high contrast photo and video display, highlighting an entire Web page -- including text -- is not recommended.

For best results, we recommend you use LightFrame??? with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher.

You can downloaded Internet Explorer free of charge from the Microsoft website (www.microsoft.com). A copy of Internet Explorer 5.5 is also included on the CD-ROM shipped with your monitor.

Q: Will the highlighted area remain highlighted when I open a cached Web page stored locally on my computer?

A: Yes. When a Web page is loaded in Internet Explorer, LightFrame??? scans the document for a photo or

video and highlights suitable material. If LightFrame??? finds a photo or video in an online Web page, it will highlight the same object when the page is opened from a local cache.

Q: On some Web pages, LightFrame??? activates automatically; on others, it doesn???t. Why?

A: Computers are smart, but you???re smarter! When a Web page loads, LightFrame??? automatically seeks out photos or videos. Although the human eye has no problem picking out photos or videos on a ???busy???

107X Product Information

Web page, some special backgrounds and borders ???confuse??? LightFrame???. Here???s why: To comply with the science of cathode ray tube design, LightFrame??? is ???trained??? to locate and highlight rectangular screen areas. Sometimes a border or background prevents LightFrame??? from determining where a photo, for example, ends and its border begins. To prevent distorted display when this happens, LightFrame??? will ignore that photo.

The workaround? Highlight the photo manually. Here???s how: Click the LightFrame??? On/Off button. Then hold down the left mouse button and drag a frame around the photo. When you release the mouse button, LightFrame??? the selected area is displayed in the LightFrame??? window.

Q: On some Web pages, LightFrame??? highlights an area that doesn???t contain a photo. What should I do?

A: Just as LightFrame??? may occasionally miss a photo, it sometimes is ???fooled??? into highlighting a

non-photo screen area. In both cases, it???s about borders and backgrounds that prevent LightFrame??? for determining what is and what isn???t a photo.

The workaround? Click the LightFrame??? Off button to deactivate LightFrame??? in the highlighted area.

Then highlight a photo you???d like to display by again clicking the LightFrame??? On/Off button and holding down the left mouse button to drag a frame around the photo. When you release your mouse button, LightFrame??? activates around the selected area.

Using LightFrame???

Q: Can I activate LightFrame??? on my entire screen?

A: Yes. Here???s how: To activate LightFrame??? in its full screen mode from your keyboard, simultaneously press the Windows and letter L keys. (Location of the Windows key varies with keyboards and languages.

On most keyboards, it???s to the right of the Control key.) To customize the keyboard shortcut for activating LightFrame??? in the full screen mode, go to the LightFrame??? applet in the Windows Control Panel.

An alternative: You can also activate LightFrame??? in its full screen mode from your monitor???s OSD. Here

???s how: Open your monitor???s OSD controls. Go to LIGHTFRAME in the EXTRA CONTROLS menu. Press the left/right button to switch LightFrame??? on or off.

Q: Why must I install the application to use LightFrame????

A: Selectivity is the key to LightFrame??????s effectiveness. Increased brightness and sharpness enhances

photos and video display, but deteriorates text and detailed lines. Using LightFrame??? in a full screen mode all the time would degrade display of regular Windows applications. Using LightFrame??? selectively delivers outstanding photo and video display as well as top quality display text for Windows applications. The software provides interface between the chip in the monitor and the user.

Q: Can I use LightFrame??? at various resolutions?

A: Yes. LightFrame??? will operate at any resolution supported by the monitor. When changing monitor

resolution, a highlighted area is dimmed and the icon switches back to idle. After the new resolution becomes active, LightFrame??? software has to be exited and restarted to load the new resolution .

Q: Can I use LightFrame" with a non-LightFrame??? equipped monitor?

A: No. Philips exclusive LightFrame??? feature requires the combined operation of hardware that resides in

your monitor and software installed on your system. It only works when a monitor with built-in hardware receives commands from system software. Without the LightFrame??? hardware-equipped monitor, LightFrame??? does not function.

Q: How can I remove the LightFrame??? software from my system?

file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/107X/product/product.htm (6 of 12) [10/3/2001 4:11:40 PM]

107X Product Information

A: Software can be easily uninstalled with the Windows ???Add/remove software function??? in Control Panel or

through the Uninstall feature in the Philips LightFrame program group. From the Control Panel ???Add/remove software??? screen, select Philips LightFrame???. Then select ???Add/remove???. Alternatively, open the Start menu and select Philips LightFrame from Programs. Select Uninstall and follow the steps of the uninstall feature.

Q: How can I quickly check to see if my Philips monitor has LightFrame??? or LightFrame???2?

A: Every monitor equipped with LightFrame??? has a logo on the front. The logo looks like this:

If your monitor came with LightFrame???2, than you will find a 2 with the logo. If your monitor doesn???t have a

LightFrame???2 logo, you can still use the LightFrame???2 software.

Q: Is LightFrame??? software as well as hardware driven? If it is software driven, what happens when a monitors is switched? How will the system react when a monitor with LightFrame??? is substituted for monitor without LightFrame????

A: The LightFrame??? feature is a combination of both hardware and software and will not function without

both components in place. During installation, the software will check if the monitor is LightFrame??? enabled. Afterwards the computer cannot detect whether the monitor has been exchanged with one without LightFrame???. Without a LightFrame??? monitor, LightFrame??? will not function; however, the system will otherwise operate normally.

Q: Does LightFrame??? effect moving images or just still images?

A: LightFrame??? can be used on both still pictures and movies.

A: The principle behind LightFrame??? makes use of a luminance reserve that is normally present in a CRT monitor. Because the brightness reserve degrades display of text and other ???native??? computer documents, it is normally not used. As a rule, LCD monitors do not feature brightness reserve. In LCDs, brightness is normally set at the maximum level.

Q: What models support LightFrame????

A: Following models support LightFrame???: 105B2x, 107S2x, 107T2x, 107B2x, 107B3x, 107P2x, 107X2x, 109S2x and 109B2x

Q: What computer configuration is required to run the feature?

A: LightFrame??????s main component is embedded in the monitor and as such is not dependant on your

system configuration.The LightFrame??? software that controls the hardware in the monitor is available for

Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Millenium Edition (Windows Me), Windows 2000 Professional, Windows

XP?? , MacOS8 and MacOS9.

All the applications use little to no system resources and therefore don't put higher demands to your system configuration than the operating system does.

Q: Does the feature effect my colored printout quality?

A: No. LightFrame??? is a feature that only effects the on-screen display. The enhancement is "enclosed"

within the monitor and has no influence whatsoever on the quality of printouts.

Q: How can I change settings for LightFrame????

A: It???s easy: Open the Windows control panel by clicking Settings | Control Panel from your Start panel. In

Control Panel, double click on the LightFrame??? icon. You???ll see a list of the settings that can be

Q: In the OSD menu, what does "LightFrame On/Off" mean?

A: You can switch LightFrame??? on or off from the OSD menu of any LightFrame??? 2 monitor. This is a

handy feature when you use DOS applications or other operating systems not supported by the

LightFrame??? software.

Here???s how: Open your monitor???s OSD controls. Go to LIGHTFRAME in the EXTRA CONTROLS menu. Press the left/right button to switch LightFrame??? on or off.

Q: How do I use the LightFrame??? 2 control bar that appears at the top my screen?

A: The control bar is another upgrade that helps you run all LightFrame??? 2???s neat, new features. The

illustration below describes the tasks each button performs.

Accustomed to working with the original LightFrame??? tray icon? No problem: It???s still there and can be used to turn LightFrame??? on or off and check LightFrame??? status.

Q: Can I move the LightFrame??? 2 control bar?

A: The screen location of the LightFrame??? control bar is fixed. If the control bar blocks your view of an

application, you can exit LightFrame???. Here???s how: Click once on the LightFrame??? logo and select Exit from the pop-up menu.

When you reboot your system, LightFrame??? will restart automatically. You can also reload LightFrame??? from the Start menu by clicking LightFrame 2 in the ???Philips LightFrame™menu under Programs.

Q: When is LightFrame??? automatically switched off?

A: To avoid less than optimum display even when LightFrame??? is manually activated from the OSD screen, it will automatically switch off when:

-A mode change occurs: for example, when the monitor changes resolution or refresh rate.

-The monitor enters sleep mode.

-The monitor is powered off and on again.

Q: Can LightFrame???2 highlight simultaneously highlight multiple screen areas?

A: No. LightFrame??? 2 operates in a single rectangular screen area.

C

CE Mark

CE mark is displayed on products per EMC and LV ( low Voltage Device ) directives in compliance with

European Community safety, EMI and EMS requirements and is compulsory on products for sale in the

European Community.

Color temperature

A way of describing the color of a radiating source in terms of the temperature (in degrees Kelvin) of a black body radiating with the same dominant frequency as the source.

Most Philips monitors offer the possibility of setting the color temperature to any desired value.

Contrast

The ratio between the brightness of the brightest and darkest parts of a picture. The darkest part of a picture is set by the brightness of the unexcited phosphor, which is governed by the degree with which ambient light is reflected. Contrast is therefore reduced in conditions of high ambient light levels. Black Matrix tubes reflect less ambient light so exhibit higher contrast than other tubes.

Convergence error

Bean misalignment causing one or more of the three beams passing through the wrong aperture in the shadow mask and striking a phosphor dot in the wrong triad.

Convergence error is expressed in mm often at three well-defined points on the screen, designated A, B and C (see figure ). Also known as misconvergence.

file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/GLOSSARY/Glossary.htm (2 of 18) [10/3/2001 4:11:43 PM]

Glossary

Points where convergence error is specified.

Convergence-error correction

A method of correcting for convergence error to insure that all three beams land simultaneously in the same triad. This is usually accomplished by means of special convergence-error correction coils in the deflection yoke.

CRT

Cathode-ray tube - the general term for all tubes in which one or more electron beams emitted by a cathode are periodically scanned across a phosphor screen by means of deflection circuitry. A special form of the cathode-ray tube is the TV and monitor picture tube.

CustoMax

Philips proprietary monitor control software that allows users to control parameters (e.g., Size, Color,

Geometry) using software running in Windows. CustoMax is compatible with existing VGA cards. See CrystalClear FAQ and USB Bay FAQ.

DDC (Display Data Channel)

file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/GLOSSARY/Glossary.htm (3 of 18) [10/3/2001 4:11:43 PM]

Glossary

DDC is a communication channel for displays and computers. The DDC feature allows the monitor controller to be automatically configured to make optimal use of the display without manual user interaction. DDC is implemented as part of the new Plug & Play approach introduced into the PC market to increase user friendliness.

The three levels developed for Plug & play are: (1) DDC1, monitor send data to the PC; (2) DDC2B, PC can request information from monitor; and (3) DDC2Bi which is a two-way communication - monitor can be addressed and PC or graphics board can give commands to monitor.

DDC 1/2B

See DDC.

DDC 2Bi

See DDC.

Degaussing

The procedure of demagnetizing the shadow mask and associated metal parts of a picture tube at switch-on to minimize picture distortion. This is usually accomplished by means of a special degaussing coil through which a decaying alternating current is passed to generate an alternating magnetic field that gradually decays to demagnetize the tube. Some monitors offer a manual degaussing facility that can be activated at any time.

Digital control

Microprocessor-based digital control of picture parameters and video modes for complete control of picture settings and modes and instant recall of all settings at the push of a button. This is a very advanced feature that allows the user to switch to any required mode at any instant without having to spend time readjusting the picture. It is currently available in most Philips monitors.

Dot pitch

The shortest distance between two phosphor dots of the same color on the screen. The smaller the dot pitch, the better the resolution of the monitor.

Dot rate

Frequency in MHz of the dot clock. It is a measure of the speed with which data is transferred between the video card and subsequent processing circuitry.

Also known as video dot rate.

E

Electromagnetic radiation standards

International standards set to limit electromagnetic emissions from monitors. There are currently two important standards both derived from regulations originally laid down by Swedish authorities.

MPR-II

The standard originally proposed by the Swedish National Board of Measurement and Testing. It set maximum levels of electromagnetic radiation emitted by monitors, and has now been adopted as a world standard. MPR-II defines maximum permitted electrostatic, magnetic and electric field levels measured at a distance of 50 cm from the center of the monitor (see table).

TCO

file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/GLOSSARY/Glossary.htm (5 of 18) [10/3/2001 4:11:43 PM]

Glossary

In 1991, the Swedish Tj??nstemannens Central Organization (TCO, Swedish confederation of Professional

Employees ) set a standard even more severe than MPR-II, especially for alternating electric fields (AEF).

The TCO standard is more severe since not only are the permitted field levels reduced compared with

MPR-II, but the measuring distance is also reduced (see table).

Electromagnetic radiation standards

EMI (Electrical Magnetic Interference)

The electrical and/or magnetic radiation coming from the working electrical or electronic equipment.

EMS (Electrical Magnetic Sustainment)

The ability of electrical or electronic equipment to function properly in the environment with electrical and/or magnetic interference.

F

Flicker

Very rapid variations in picture intensity caused by the finite time required for the electron beam to scan a picture onto the screen. Two kinds of flicker occur: line flicker caused by the electron beam scanning-in each line of the picture; and frame flicker (or field flicker if the picture is interlaced) caused by the frame repetition rate of 50 frames/second. Frame flicker is noticeable with GUI and DTP software (which have a light background), and can be very disturbing, especially for those who work regularly with displays - contributing to eye strain, headaches, visual blurring, stress, etc. The problem can, however, be eliminated by increasing the refresh rate (number of frames/second) of the monitor to a value above around 70 Hz. Sensitivity to flicker appears to diminish with increasing age.

H

Hertz

The unit of frequency named after the physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894). 1 hertz (Hz) is equal to 1 cycle/second.

Horizontal dot pitch

Horizontal scanning frequency

file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/GLOSSARY/Glossary.htm (6 of 18) [10/3/2001 4:11:43 PM]

Glossary

Also called line frequency and expressed in kHz, it is the number of video lines written on the screen every second (from left to right). The higher the horizontal scanning frequency, the better the resolution (i.e., the higher the resolution and/or the higher the refresh rate).

I

INF File

INF file (Information File)

Information (INF) files store information in a specific format. The set-up functions retrieve information from the INF file to use when performing installation operations. Examples of the type of information stored in an

INF file include INI and registry changes, file names, and locations of the source files on source media.

Interlaced/non-interlaced

Interlaced.

The method of writing a picture on the screen by initially writing all even lines and subsequently writing all odd lines of the picture. Result: The complete picture is composed of two interlaced half pictures (or fields). With interlacing, a vertical (or field) frequency of 50 Hz means a picture (or frame) frequency of 25 Hz.

Non-interlaced.

The method of writing a picture on the screen by successive video lines of the picture so that a full frame is written onto the screen in one vertical sweep of the beams. With a non-interlaced display, a vertical frequency of 50 Hz means a picture (or frame) frequency of 50 Hz. At any given resolution, non-interlaced modes are preferable to interlaced modes; however, generation of non-interlaced modes is more expensive.

Low-emission monitor

A monitor that complies with international standards on radiation.

See Electromagnetic radiation standards.

Low-frequency electric and magnetic fields

Alternating fields generated by the deflection yoke. These are subject to increasing attention, notably by governing authorities, the trade and the press. Although there is no scientific evidence that monitor emissions are harmful, much effort has gone into reducing emissions on the principle of better safe than sorry. Currently, there are two areas of interest: very-low frequency (VLF) electric and magnetic fields extending from 2 kHz to 400 kHz, and extreme low frequency (ELF) fields extending from 5 Hz to 2 kHz.

M

Moir?? effect

A fringe pattern arising from the interference between two superimposed line patterns.

In a monitor it comes from the interference between the shadow mask pattern and the video information

(video moir??), and between the shadow mask pattern and the horizontal line pattern (scan moir??). It shows itself as wavy patterns on the screen and becomes more noticeable as monitor resolution increases. Since the video signal varies continuously, little can be done about video moir??. Scan moir?? depends on the horizontal scanning frequency and can be alleviated by appropriate choice of frequency. Autoscan (MultiSync) monitors, which operate over a range of scanning frequencies, may sometimes exhibit moir?? in certain video modes.

P

Parallelogram Distortion

See Geometric distortion.

Phosphor

Generic name for the class of substances that exhibit luminescence. To produce a picture on screen, phosphors are deposited on the inner surface of the picture-tube screen and excited into luminescence by the electron beam. Typical examples of phosphors are P22 medium short-persistence phosphor and EBU high-color-saturation phosphor.

Pin-cushion Distortion

See Geometric distortion.

Pixel

Abbreviation for picture element, the smallest element of the picture that can be displayed on the screen. The smaller the pixel size, the better the resolution of the monitor. Pixel size is determined by the size of the electron spot on the screen and not necessarily by the phosphor dot pitch (the size of the triad). Thus, a monitor with a large electron spot covering several triads can exhibit poor resolution even though its dot pitch is small.

Pixel frequency

The number of pixels that can be written in a video line per second.

Screen coatings

file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/GLOSSARY/Glossary.htm (11 of 18) [10/3/2001 4:11:43 PM]

Glossary

Anti-Static coatings

Due to bombardment by beam electrons, monitor screens become electrically charged when in use. Electrically charged screens surfaces can attract dust particles. An Anti-Static coating is a conductive coating deposited on the screen (or on a glass panel immediately in front of the screen) that conducts away the charge and prevents screen dust build-up.

AGAS (Anti-Glare, Anti-Static) coating

AGAS is a silica coating applied to the surface of the screen by a spinning and spraying process. It operates by diffusing reflected light to blur images of light sources on the screen. To provide anti-static properties, the coating is impregnated with small conductive particles.

ARAS (Anti-Reflection, Anti-Static) coating

ARAS is one of the most effective anti-reflection/anti-static screen treatments currently available. It is composed of a multi-layer structure of transparent dielectric material that suppresses specular reflections by broadband interference effects at the screen surface. Anti-static properties are provided by a single conductive layer within the multi-layer structure.

With ARAS, the intensity of reflected light is reduced from around 4.5% of the incident light (the reflectivity of uncoated screens) to less than 0.5%. ARAS also has a major advantage over other screen treatments: It doesn't diffuse or scatter reflected light, so picture contrast and sharpness remain completely unimpaired. It's also easy to clean and tough enough to withstand commercially available cleaning agents.

file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/GLOSSARY/Glossary.htm (12 of 18) [10/3/2001 4:11:43 PM]

The ARAS coating reflects only about 0.5% of the incident light.

AGRAS (Anti-Glare anti-Reflection Anti-Static) coating.

SOG (Synchronization On Green)

A properly functioning color monitor requires five kinds of signals: horizontal sync pulse, vertical sync pulse, red color signal, green color signal and blue color signal. Signals from a PC are transmitted to a monitor using one of three methods:

1.Separate sync: Horizontal and Vertical sync signals transmitted separately

2.Composite sync: Horizontal and vertical sync pulses mixed into a single signal train.

3.SOG: Horizontal and vertical sync pulses mixed, then combined with the green color signal.

TTL signal

A TTL (Transistor-transistor-logic) signal is a digital signal level for controlling the screen colors. With TTL driving, the red, green and blue signals can only be switched on or off or provided with an intensity signal. A

TTL-driven monitor can thus display a maximum of 64 colors. Video standards such as MDA, CGA and EGA are based on TTL level.

U

USB or Universal Serial Bus

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.

???USB eliminates "case angst" -- the fear of removing the computer case to install add-on peripherals. And USB also eliminates adjustment of complicated IRQ settings when installing new 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 arrive on the market every day. With USB, up to 127 devices can run simultaneously on a computer.

???USB permits "hot plug-in." There's no need to shut down, plug in, reboot and run set-up to install peripherals. And no need to go through the reverse process to unplug a device.

In short, USB transforms today's "Plug-and-Pray" into true Plug-and-Play!

Hub

A Universal Serial Bus device that provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus.

Hubs are a key element in the plug-and-play architecture of USB. The Figure shows a typical hub. Hubs serve to simplify USB connectivity from the user's perspective and provide robustness at low cost and complexity.

Hubs are wiring concentrators and enable the multiple attachment characteristics of USB. Attachment points are referred to as ports. Each hub converts a single attachment point into multiple attachment points. The architecture supports concatenation of multiple hubs.

The upstream port of a hub connects the hub towards the host. Each of the other downstream ports of a hub allows connection to another hub or function. Hubs can detect, attach and detach at each downstream port and enable the distribution of power to downstream devices. Each downstream port can be individually enabled and configured at either full or low speed. The hub isolates low speed ports from full speed

signaling.

A hub consists of two portions: the Hub Controller and Hub Repeater. The repeater is a protocol-controlled switch between the upstream port and downstream ports. It also has hardware support for reset and suspend/resume signaling. The controller provides the interface registers to allow communication to/from the host. Hub specific status and control commands permit the host to configure a hub and to monitor and control its ports.

Device

A logical or physical entity that performs a function. The actual entity described depends on the context of the reference. At the lowest level, device may refer to a single hardware component, as in a memory device. At a higher level, it may refer to a collection of hardware components that perform a particular function, such as a Universal Serial Bus interface device. At an even higher level, device may refer to the function performed by an entity attached to the Universal Serial Bus; for example, a data/FAX modem device. Devices may be physical, electrical, addressable, and logical.

Downstream

The direction of data flow from the host or away from the host. A downstream port is the port on a hub electrically farthest from the host that generates downstream data traffic from the hub. Downstream ports receive upstream data traffic.

Upstream

The direction of data flow towards the host. An upstream port is the port on a device electrically closest to the host that generates upstream data traffic from the hub. Upstream ports receive downstream data traffic.

UPS (Universal Power Supply)

The monitor with UPS feature can work in different countries with various mains voltage.

Expressed in Hz, this is the number of fields written to the screen every second in interlaced mode. In non-interlaced mode vertical scanning frequency is the number of frames (complete pictures) written to the screen every second (also known as refresh rate).

Vertical sync pulses

A train of square shaped waveforms that define the start of a new frame.

VESA

Video Electronic Standards Association, a consortium of manufacturers formed to establish and maintain industry-wide standards for video cards and monitors. VESA was instrumental in the introduction of the Super VGA and Extended VGA video graphics standards (see Video graphics adapters) with a refresh rate of

70 Hz, minimizing flicker and helping to reduce operator eyes fatigue and stress.

Video dot rate

See Dot rate.

Video graphics adapters

A card equipped with a character or graphic generator and video memory, which maps to the screen. A microprocessor scans video memory and translates bit information from the computer into displayable video signals for the monitor. These cards comply with various standards that determine the nature and quality of the display.

VGA (Video Graphics Array), introduced in 1987, was the first analog card. It offered still higher resolution than EGA: 640 X 480 pixels for graphics and 720 x 400 pixels for text, and a color palette of 256 colors. VGA could also emulate EGA and CGA.

Super VGA, devised by VESA in 1989, offers a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels.

Extended VGA, introduced by VESA in 1991, offers a top resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (non-interlaced) and a refresh rate slightly higher than IBM's XGA 8514A.

High-end, graphics adapters, introduced over the last three years for professional workstations, offer top

VIS (Viewable Image Size)

The real screen dimensions that users can see measured diagonally. The VIS of a monitor is always less than the so called screen size of a monitor. For example, the VIS of a 17-inch monitor is only about 16 inches. It depends on the useful screen size of CRT and the opening of a monitor's front cabinet.

Frequently Asked Questions

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?

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??

???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?

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?

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?

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

22. What will happen when my system is no longer connected to a LightFrame??? enabled monitor - for example, when I take my notebook on the road?

Philips exclusive LightFrame??? feature requires the combined operation of hardware that resides in your monitor and software installed on your system. It only works when a monitor with built-in hardware receives

commands from system software. Without both the LightFrameTM hardware equipped monitor and system

software, the LightFrame??? does not function.

23. What is "XtraSpace Design" (XSD)?

XSD stands for XtraSpace Design, a Philips breakthrough that reduces a CRT display device's footprint. Philips XSD monitors combine the world's smallest front-to-back footprint with excellent front of screen performance.

24. How did Philips achieve XtraSpace Design?

Philips achieved this breakthrough in reduced footprint CRT display devices through short depth tubes and a focused design process that squeezed every excess millimeter out of XSD monitor desk space requirements.

25. What is Philips monitors' solution for audio?

Not all users need multimedia capabilities. To give users freedom of choice, Philips provides an optional Multimedia Base (type number: 6G3B10). The Multimedia Base replaces the easily removable standard pedestal of the monitor.

26. Which models can be incorporated with the Multimedia Base?

The following models can be incorporated with the Multimedia Base: 109B20, 107B20, 105B20, 105B21,

109S20, 107S20, 107S21, 105S20, 105S21.

27. What are Philips Multimedia Base's specifications?

See detailed Multimedia Base specifications on the product information page.

28. Why is a Multimedia Base better than separate speakers?

The major advantage of the Multimedia Base is its minimal space requirements. In fact, it hardly uses any extra space at all: monitor depth and width are unchanged. Only the monitor's height is increased by only 3 centimeters.

29. Where can I buy a multimedia base to incorporate with my Philips monitor?

Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact your dealer/reseller for details.

30. What does Auto Calibrate do?

It makes your monitor perform better and last longer. As a monitor becomes older, brightness gradually deteriorates and its colors change. This well-known process effects all monitors. Eventually after a number of years, the monitor's brightness deteriorates to below 50% of its original value. At this stage, the usable life of a monitor is considered ended. Auto Calibrate regularly readjusts color temperature and luminance to their original values.

31. How does Philips Auto Calibrate feature benefit me?

With Auto Calibrate, it takes a monitor's luminance 33 percent longer to deteriorate to the 50 percent level that marks the end of a display device's useful life. Thanks to Auto Calibrate, a monitor with a normal life of 10,000 hours, for example, would last for 13,300 hours, a full one third longer.

32. How does Auto Calibrate work?

During the calibration process, different predefined black and white images are displayed on thescreen. The beam currents of the red, green and blue cannon are accurately measured and compared to the original values stored in the monitor. By readjusting gain values of the individual cannons, deviation is reduced to zero. Default values are stored during production. If the user sets a new color temperature, this new value is saved as the new default value.

33. When should calibration be performed?

The calibration process takes less than six seconds. During this period, different specific images are displayed. After the process is finalized, the original image is redisplayed. Constant re-calibration is not required.

Calibration should be performed after the monitor is warmed up. Auto Calibration takes place when a monitor receives a signal indicating an imminent switch to its sleep mode/stand-by mode.

34.Which models of Philips monitors are equipped with Auto Calibrate feature?

Auto Calibrate is currently available in the new 201P, 201B and 109P.

35.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 10 seconds until picture displays "OSD MAIN MENU

UNLOCKED"

36.My screen shows NO SYNC INPUT , how can I get rid of this?

Check the following for possible solutions:

???Bent pins on the video cable

???Make sure the computer is turned on

???Ensure the VGA Cable is properly connected

???Ensure the BNC/D-Sub connector on the rear of the monitor is in the correct position, newer models have this option in the On Screen Display under Input Signal Selection.

???Video card may be not be a VESA standard (try the monitor with another computer)

37.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.

38. What is Moir??? Why does my monitor have this wavy phenomenon?

Moir?? 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:

???Some monitors have a Moir?? cancellation feature, activate it to the on position or adjust the Moir?? cancellation function via the OSD on the monitor.

???Change resolution to the recommended standard for the specific monitor size.

???Change Window viewing pattern/scheme to a pattern where the Moir?? is less visible.

???Change horizontal and vertical size to optimize the reduction of the Moir?? effect.

39.What is CustoMax?

CustoMax is proprietary Philips software that allows user to control parameter (e.g. Size, Color, Geometry) in place of the buttons on the front of the monitor. To install and run the CustoMax software, you must have a

USB compatible system and have a USB connection at the rear of your monitor.

40.My monitor appears to be missing one or more colors. How do I correct this?

???If the OSD menu is also missing a color, please contact service for details

???Set color temperature to 9300 color coordination

???Check the video cable for any bent pins

???Video card could be defective (try the monitor with another computer).

41.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 10 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.

42. How do I adjust the picture on the screen?

Please perform the following to correct the picture image:

???Reset your monitor via the OSD menu

???Adjust the Horz (width) and/or Vert size (height) in the OSD

???Change monitor timing to work at the recommended resolution

43.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:

???A magnetic or electrical interference typically causes poor geometry in the picture. Place the monitor in a different physical location

???Reset the monitor to the factory preset via the OSD menu

???Access the Geometry Menu in the OSD of the Monitor and perform the necessary adjustments

???Change the monitor timing to the recommended resolution

44.The picture appears too dim. How can I correct this?

Adjust Brightness and/or Contrast via the monitor 's OSD. Some models have a Video Input Select

Frequently Asked Questions

under Advanced Controls in the monitor 's OSD. Most computers require it to be set at .7V.

Please review the following for possible solutions:

???If the OSD menu is also dim, please contact service for repair

???Reset the monitor via the OSD menu

???Change the color temperature settings to 9300 color coordination via the OSD menu

???Set the Contrast to maximum level (100) and Brightness to middle level (50)

Video card could be defective (try the monitor with another computer)

45. I have noticed two thin horizontal lines on the screen of my Philips monitor. Is this normal?

This phenomenon can occur with Philips 107P, 109P and 201P monitors and is normal. Your monitor is using an Aperture Grille, which consists of fine vertical wires to align the electron beams with the phosphors on the screen. To prevent these vertical wires from vibrating and to keep them properly aligned with the picture tube, two horizontal damper wires are required. These are located on one-third and on two-third from the top of the screen. The result is that you will see two very thin horizontal lines over your screen since the two wires are casting a slight shadow on the screen surface. You will find these wires (line) in any monitor from Philips and other brands using the Aperture Grille technology.

46. 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.

47.Why is there no picture on my monitor?

???Check the wall socket for power. Verify that there is power by connecting another product.

???Ensure the power cable is correctly attached to both the wall socket and the monitor.

???Check that the power button is switched on.

???Unplug the monitor for approx. 1 minute and plug it in again. Switch the monitor back on.

48.Why is there no picture on my monitor even though the power LED is yellow/amber?

???Reboot your computer while holding the Ctrl key on your computer. If you see any picture during the boot procedure, please verify the settings of your video card (for Windows go to Control Panel and select Display).

???Check that the video cable is not damaged, bent or that any of the pins in the connector are damaged (please be aware that all VGA connectors have one missing pin). If damaged, replace with a new cable.

???Check that the cable is attached correctly to the computer.

???Press any key on the keyboard to wake-up the computer from power saving mode.

49.Why is there no picture on my monitor even though the power LED is green?

???Verify the Contrast and Brightness setting of the monitor. First press and hold the 5 button to increase

Contrast and then press and hold the 4 button to increase Brightness. These buttons are located on the front of your monitor.

???Press both the 5 button and the OK button at the same time to switch input A|B.

???Try and repeat step 48 above.

50.Why does the picture disappear after I press the on/off button quickly?

This is a unique Philips feature designed to preserve the life of your monitor. Please allow 5 seconds between powering off and on your monitor, your picture will then be restored.

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO '99 approved and labeled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

Why do we have environmentally labeled computers?

In many countries, environmental labeling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.

There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.

What does labeling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for international and environmental labeling of personal computers. The labeling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the

TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The

Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).

Regulatory Information

Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its operational policy.

The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.

Labeled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

Environmental Requirements

Flame retardants

Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in fetus development may occur.

The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the color-generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the color-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or

Regulatory Information

electronics components must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labeled unit.

CFCs (freons)

The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with increased risks e.g. skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.

Lead**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO'99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

*Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.

**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are bio-accumulative.
