the screen surface.
Compatibility with other Peripherals
Q:

A:

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, ME, XP 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.
