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 : 1440 x 900 @60Hz.
Unplug all cables, then connect your PC to the monitor that you used previously.
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 1440 x 900 pixels.
Open 'Advanced Properties' and set the Refresh Rate to 60Hz, then click OK.

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.
