PerfecTune

PerfecTune is industry-leading, proprietary Philips testing and algorithm technology for display adjustment and fine tuning, an extensive process that ensures ultimate performance in compliance with a standard four times more stringent than Microsoft’s already high Vista requirements from each and every monitor that leaves the factory–not just a few review samples. Only Philips goes to these lengths to deliver this exacting level of color accuracy and display quality in every new monitor.

Pixel

PICture Element; the smallest element on a computerized CRT or LCD image, and hence a display.

Polarizer

A light filter which only allows light waves of a certain rotation through. Polarized material with perpendicular filtering is used in LCDs to enclose the liquid crystal. The liquid crystal is then used as the medium which twists the light waves 90° in order to allow the light to pass through or not.

R

Refresh rate

The number of times per second the screen is refreshed or redrawn. This number is usually stated in Hz (Hertz) or cycles per second. A rate of 60 Hz is equal to 60 tomes per second.

S

SmartContrast

Unique technology that dynamically analyzes displayed content and automatically optimizes a LCD monitor's contrast ratio for maximum visual clarity and viewing enjoyment, stepping up backlighting for clearer, crisper and brighter images or dimming backlighting for clear display of images on dark backgrounds. For monitors with SmartContrast, contrast ratio achieves 3000:1, the highest available today in a desktop LCD monitor.
