FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Compatibility with other Peripherals
Q:
Can I connect my LCD monitor to any PC, workstation or Mac?
A: Yes. All Philips LCD monitors are fully compatible with standard PCs, Macs and
workstations. You may need a cable adapter to connect the monitor to your Mac system.
Please contact your dealer/retailer for more information.
Q: Are Philips LCD monitors Plug-and-Play?
A: Yes, the monitors are Plug-and-Play compatible with Windows® 95, 98, 2000 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. There are three main benefits of
USB. USB eliminates "case anxiety," the fear of removing the computer case to install circuit
board cards -- that often requires 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 ?
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.
