through the reverse process to unplug a device. Bottom line: USB transforms
today's "Plug-and-Pray" into true Plug-and-Play!
Please refer to glossary for more information about USB.
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.
Q: What can I do if my USB peripherals don't work with the USB hub of my monitor?
A: If you experience the problem, just detach and re-attach the USB hub cable
between PC and your monitor, then refresh your PC device manager (Start >
Setting > Control panel > System > Hardware > Device manager > Refresh) or
reboot your PC and the problem can be solved by above procedures.

LCD Panel Technology
Q:
What is a Liquid Crystal Display?
A: A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is an optical device that is commonly used to
display ASCII characters and images on digital items such as watches,
calculators, portable game consoles, etc. LCD is the technology used for
displays in notebooks and other small computers. Like light-emitting diode and
gas-plasma technologies, LCD allows displays to be much thinner than
cathode ray tube (CRT) technology. LCD consumes much less power than LED
and gas-displays because it works on the principle of blocking light rather than
emitting it.
Q: What differentiates passive matrix LCDs from active matrix LCDs?
A: An LCD is made with either a passive matrix or an active matrix display grid.
An active matrix has a transistor located at each pixel intersection, requiring
less current to control the luminance of a pixel. For this reason, the current in
an active matrix display can be switched on and off more frequently, improving
the screen refresh time (your mouse pointer will appear to move more
smoothly across the screen, for example). The passive matrix LCD has a grid of
conductors with pixels located at each intersection in the grid.
Q: What are the advantages of TFT LCD compared with CRT?
A: In a CRT monitor, a gun shoots electrons and general light by colliding
polarized electrons on fluorescent glass. Therefore, CRT monitors basically
operate with an analog RGB signal. A TFT LCD monitor is a device that
