Regulatory Information

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for international and environmental labeling of personal computers. The labeling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).

Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its operational policy.

The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.

Labeled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

Environmental Requirements

Flame retardants

Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in fetus development may occur.

The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.

109P specifications

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. While newer technologies have emerged, the 109P stands as a testament to the enduring quality and craftsmanship that Philips has historically offered in the display market.
