Introduction and Safety

Introduction

The Philips 104B color monitor displays sharp and brilliant images of text and graphics with a maximum resolution of 1024x768 pixels. It is optimal for Windows, spread sheets and any other application.

The monitor automatically scans horizontal frequencies from 30KHz to 54KHz, and vertical frequencies from 50Hz to 120Hz. With microprocessor-based digital-controlled circuitry, the monitor can automatically adjust itself to the video card’s scanning frequency and can display an image with the precise parameters you desire.

•DDC1 / DDC2B allows communication between the monitor and PC system for optimal video configuration.

NOTE: Your monitor operates according to the VESA-standard DDC level 1 / 2B. Only computers that support the same guidelines and operate at an equal or higher level can use this feature. If your computer does not support the relevant guidelines, you can still use your monitor and computer. However, you may need to manually specify the appropriate resolution in the computer.
