You may need a cable adapter to connect the monitor to your Mac system. Please contact your dealer/reseller for more information. 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. 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 ?(150P/180P/181AS) 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. file:///F|/180P/180p/safety/saf_faq. htm (5 of 9) [2000/7/17 11:50:42 AM] FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE LCD Panel Technology Q: What is Liquid Crystal Display?
