Glossary

Built-in advanced firmware that delivers audio output from external audio devices including a portable tape, CD or MP3 player even when there is no video input.

Subwoofer

A subwoofer is a speaker that reproduces the lower end of the audio spectrum. The monitor has a separate subwoofer that is optimized to reproduce bass frequencies and satellite speakers that are optimized for mid- and high-range frequencies. The result is a system that powerfully reproduces the full range of audio frequencies from deep bass to crystal clear high notes with the minimum of distortion.

sRGB

sRGB is a standard for ensuring correct exchange of colors between different devices (e.g. digital cameras, monitors, printers, scanners, etc.)

Using a standard unified color space, sRGB will help represent pictures taken by an sRGB compatible device correctly on your sRGB enabled Philips monitors. In that way, the colors are calibrated and you can rely on the correctness of the colors shown on your screen.

Important with the use of sRGB is that the brightness and contrast of your monitor is fixed to a predefined setting as well as the color gamut. Therefore it is important to select the sRGB setting in the monitor's OSD.

To do so, open the OSD by pressing the OK button on the side of your monitor. Move the down button to go to Color and press OK again. Use the right button to go to sRGB. Then move the down button and press OK again to exit the OSD.

After this, please do not change the brightness or contrast setting of your monitor. If you change either of these, the monitor will exit the sRGB mode and go to a color temperature setting of 6500K.
