User manual PHILIPS 107T40-00Z

[. . . ] To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not expose the monitor to rain or excessive moisture. 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. [. . . ] 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. 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. 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.

HTM (21 of 22)2005-04-08 ¤W¤È 11:31:49 Glossary 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. 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 (noninterlaced) 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 resolutions from 1280 x 1024 to 1600 x 1280, horizontal line frequencies up to 90 kHz and bandwidths up to 200 MHz. 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.
