Introduction and Safety

Introduction

The Philips 107B color monitor displays sharp and brilliant images of text and graphics with a maximum resolution of 1600x1200 pixels. It is optimal for Windows, CAD / CAM / CAE, desktop publishing, spread sheets, multi-media, and any other application that demands a large screen size and high resolutions.

The monitor automatically scans horizontal frequencies from 30KHz to 86KHz, and vertical frequencies from 50Hz to 160Hz. With microprocessor-based digital-controlled circuitry and On Screen Display (OSD) controls, the monitor can automatically adjust itself to the video card’s scanning frequency and can display an image with the precise parameters you desire.

Features

USB upstream port at the back of the monitor is prepared for the Universal Serial Bus hub. The USB hub is an accessory that may be purchased from your local Philips dealer.

Green Design – including automatic power saving function (NUTEK) and low-emission compliance

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

Moire Cancellation eliminates diffraction, a fringe pattern in the picture.

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.

An anti-glare, anti-static, anti-reflection, high-contrast screen coating eliminates any bad effects caused by room light reflecting on and dust attracted to the screen’s surface.

With the Color Adjustment feature, you can easily choose different preset color temperatures or set your own customized color parameters.

The Image Tilt Adjustment feature corrects a rotated image. This adjustment compensates for the distortions caused by elements such as the Earth’s magnetic field.

The full-size feature expands the image on the monitor to fill the screen when used in factory preset modes.
