General FAQs 
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 17": 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 (17").
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 (17").

60Hz.

icm)?
A: These are the driver files for your monitor. Follow the instructions in your user 
manual to install the drivers. Your computer may ask you for monitor drivers (.inf and .
icm files) or a driver disk when you first install your monitor. Follow the instructions to 
insert the ( companion CD-ROM) included in this package. Monitor drivers (.inf and .
icm files) will be installed automatically.
