10. How do I enable the energy saving function?
Go to 'My Computer' and select 'Control Panel' followed by 'Monitor Control.' Select "All default
selection' and choose your Philips monitor model from the default driver list. Plug and Play will
automatically enable the EPA tick box for you. In DOS or Windows 3.1, you must first make
sure your PC supports power saving.
11. What is refresh rate?
"Refresh rate" describes the number of times an entire screen is vertically scanned each
second. In other words: If a monitor's refresh rate is 85 Hz, its screen is refreshed - or vertically
scanned - 85 times per second. A higher the refresh rate means better image stability and less
flicker. A high refresh rate helps users who work long hours in front of a monitor avoid eye
fatigue and stress. To change the refresh rate, go into "Start/Settings / Control Pannel / Display
/ Properties / Setting/Advance/Adaptor" Windows settings of the computer, the monitor will
automatically adjust itself to the video card.
