107H specifications

The Philips 107H is a notable product in the realm of consumer electronics, particularly recognized for its display technology and design. This monitor, part of Philips' extensive range, has carved out a niche for itself by blending functionality and user-friendly features that cater to both casual users and professionals alike.

One of the standout features of the Philips 107H is its 17-inch CRT display, which provides a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels. This resolution ensures sharp and vivid images, making it suitable for various applications, from graphic design to office tasks. The CRT technology, while now largely overshadowed by LCD and LED options, still offers advantages in color depth and contrast levels, enabling a rich viewing experience. The monitor excels in rendering accurate colors, which is crucial for professionals working in creative fields.

In terms of ergonomics, the Philips 107H is designed with the user in mind. It incorporates a tilt and swivel base, allowing for adjustments in viewing angles to match individual preferences and comfort. This flexibility can significantly reduce eye strain during long periods of use, promoting a healthier working environment.

The monitor also stands out with its anti-glare screen coating, which minimizes reflections from ambient light sources, ensuring a clearer view in various lighting conditions. This feature is particularly beneficial for users working in brightly lit offices or environments where window glare could be an issue.

Connectivity is another strong point of the Philips 107H. It typically includes multiple input options like VGA connectors, facilitating easy connections to a wide range of devices, including computers and other peripherals. This versatility ensures that users can maximize their productivity without the need for additional adapters or converters.

In terms of energy consumption, while the Philips 107H is not as energy-efficient as modern flat-panel monitors, it adheres to reasonable standards for its time. The build quality is robust, providing durability and longevity, which is often a consideration for buyers looking for a reliable monitor that can withstand daily use.

Overall, the Philips 107H combines essential features, effective display technology, and ergonomic design to deliver a monitor that caters to a diverse audience. While it may not incorporate the latest advancements in display technology, its capabilities still make it a solid choice for those seeking a dependable and functional display solution.
