13.3.1 FAQ'S FOR MONITOR
General
Q: When I install my monitor what should I do if the screen shows
'Cannot display this video mode'?
A: Recommended video mode for Philips 19": 1280x1024 @60Hz.
1 Unplug all cables, then connect your PC to the monitor that you
used previously.
2 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 1280x1024 pixels (19").
3 Open 'Advanced Properties' and set the Refresh Rate to 60Hz, then
click OK.
4 Restart your computer and repeat step 2 and 3 to verify that your
PC is set at 1280x1024@60Hz (19").
5 Shut down your computer, disconnect your old monitor and
reconnect your Philips LCD monitor.
6 Turn on your monitor and then turn on your PC.
Q: What should I do when screen shows: THIS IS 85HZ OVERDRIVE,
CHANGE COMPUTER DISPLAY INPUT TO 1280 x 1024 @60HZ?
A: It means the signal input from your PC is 85Hz -- outside the
range that the monitor can display. New Generation LCD intelligent
monitor capabilities temporarily override the overscan, providing
you with 10 minutes to reset timing to recommended settings.
Here's how:
1 Go to your Windows Start menu.
2 Select Settings
3 Select Control Panel.
4 Select Display.
5 Move to Settings and click on the Advanced button.
6 Under Adaptor, change the refresh rate to 56~75.
Note:
You have 10 minutes to complete the operation; if you do not
complete within 10 minutes, power off and re-power on monitor to
enter changes.
Q: What does 'refresh rate' mean in connection with an LCD monitor?
A: The refresh rate is of much less relevance for LCD monitors.
LCD monitors a stable, flicker-free image at 60Hz. There is no visible
difference between 60Hz.
