Introduction

The Philips Brilliance 107MP/109MP color monitor displays sharp and brilliant images of text and graphics with a maximum resolution of 1600x1200 (for 107MP); 1800x1350 (for 109MP) 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 95KHz (107KHz for 109MP), 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 displays an image with the precise parameters you desire.

Features

An anti-glare, anti-static, and anti-reflection super 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 white point for different application.

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

The zoom feature allows you to adjust the image on your

screen, both enlarging and reducing its overall size.

USB Bay at back of monitor is prepared for the Universal Serial Bus hub. You can easily and flexibly connect USB- designed devices – such as a mouse or keyboard – to the monitor for true Plug-and-Play function. USB hub shipped separately.

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

(TCO ’99) – shows your commitment to the environment.

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

•New CrystalClear II technology delivering sharper, brighter and higher contrast images across the entire screen.

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