[. . . ] A: Make sure the AC power cord is connected to the Monitor. Q: Will the LCD monitor accept an Interlace signal?If an Interlace signal is used, the screen displays both odd and even horizontal scanning lines at the same time, thus distorting the picture. Q: What does the Refresh Rate mean for LCD?A: Unlike CRT display technology, in which the speed of the electron beam is swept from the top to the bottom of the screen determines flicker, an active matrix display uses an active element (TFT) to control each individual pixel and the refresh rate is therefore not really applicable to LCD technology. Q: Will the LCD screen be resistant to scratches?A: A protective coating is applied to the surface of the LCD, which is durable to a certain extent (approximately up to the hardness of a 2H pencil). In general, it is recommended that the panel surface is not subject to any excessive shocks or scratches. An optional protective cover with greater scratch resistance is also available.

Follow the instructions step by step to optimize image performance with your system's video controller. Q: How do LCDs compare to CRTs in terms of radiation?A: Because LCDs do not use an electron gun, they do not generate the same amount of radiation at the screen surface. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE Compatibility with other Peripherals Q: Can I connect my LCD monitor to any PC, workstation or Mac?All Philips LCD monitors are fully compatible with standard PCs, Macs and workstations.
