User manual PHILIPS 107S41

[. . . ] Do not use alcohol or ammonia-based liquid to clean the monitor. If necessary, clean with a slightly damp cloth. Disconnect the monitor from the power supply before cleaning. When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible. Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when operating instructions of this manual are followed.

[. . . ] 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. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE 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 See Dot pitch. Horizontal scanning frequency file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/GLOSSARY/GLOSSARY. HTM (6 of 18) [8/29/2001 2:59:00 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). RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE 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. 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. Pixel rate See pixel frequency Plug-and-Play See DDC.

Refresh rate See Vertical scanning frequency. Resolution The number of pixels that can be displayed on the screen. The resolution is specified as the number of pixels in a line multiplied by the number of horizontal lines. See also video graphic adapter. Rotation function The feature that allows users to adjust the whole screen rotating to be horizontal. Because of the magnetic field of earth, the screen of monitor will be tilt when the screen faces toward the different direction.

HTM (11 of 18) [8/29/2001 2:59:00 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. [. . . ] Warranty service is available in all countries where the product is officially distributed by Philips Consumer Electronics.
