Glossary

DDC is a communication channel for displays and computers. The DDC feature allows the monitor controller to be automatically configured to make optimal use of the display without manual user interaction. DDC is implemented as part of the new Plug & Play approach introduced into the PC market to increase user friendliness.

The three levels developed for Plug & play are: (1) DDC1, monitor send data to the PC; (2) DDC2B, PC can request information from monitor; and (3) DDC2Bi which is a two-way communication - monitor can be addressed and PC or graphics board can give commands to monitor.

Degaussing

The procedure of demagnetizing the shadow mask and associated metal parts of a picture tube at switch-on to minimize picture distortion. This is usually accomplished by means of a special degaussing coil through which a decaying alternating current is passed to generate an alternating magnetic field that gradually decays to demagnetize the tube. Some monitors offer a manual degaussing facility that can be activated at any time.

Digital control

Microprocessor-based digital control of picture parameters and video modes for complete control of picture settings and modes and instant recall of all settings at the push of a button. This is a very advanced feature that allows the user to switch to any required mode at any instant without having to spend time readjusting the picture. It is currently available in most Philips monitors.

Dot pitch

The shortest distance between two phosphor dots of the same color on the screen. The smaller the dot pitch, the better the resolution of the monitor.

The Philips 109P is a notable monitor that has made its mark in the realm of display technologies. As a part of Philips' robust lineup, the 109P is particularly known for its solid build quality and reliable performance, making it an attractive option for both professional and casual users.

One of the standout features of the Philips 109P is its CRT (cathode ray tube) display technology, which was widely used before the advent of LCD and LED screens. This monitor provides vibrant colors and deep contrast ratios, delivering a visually appealing experience. The CRT technology allows for excellent color reproduction and smooth gradients, which is particularly beneficial for graphic designers and photographers who require accurate color representation.

The Philips 109P features a 19-inch screen size, which strikes a balance between desktop space usage and viewing comfort. The display has a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels, allowing users to enjoy a decent amount of detail for various applications, from office work to multimedia consumption. Additionally, the monitor supports a refresh rate of up to 85 Hz, which minimizes flicker and enhances stability during prolonged use.

Another characteristic of the Philips 109P is its versatile adjustability. The monitor supports tilt adjustments, enabling users to customize the viewing angle according to their preferences. This ergonomic design is complemented by its anti-glare screen coating, which reduces reflections and improves visibility in brightly lit environments.

Connectivity is another strong suit of the Philips 109P. It typically includes a range of input options, most notably the VGA connector, allowing it to connect to a variety of computers and devices. This makes it a compatible choice for users with older PCs or those looking to utilize it in specific industrial settings.

Durability is a hallmark of the Philips brand, and the 109P is no exception. Built to withstand the rigors of daily use, it features a sturdy chassis that can endure the wear and tear common in an office environment. This longevity makes it an appealing investment for businesses and individuals looking for a dependable monitor.

In conclusion, the Philips 109P combines classic CRT technology with essential features that cater to a wide range of users. With its solid performance, vibrant display, and practical design, the Philips 109P remains a noteworthy model for those who appreciate reliability in their computing experience.
