WXGA 1366 x 768 resolution
The wide format of XGA resolution LCD panel is capable 
of displaying 1366 x 768 pixels; WXGA allows monitors 
to be non-interlaced to ensure a better display 
performance and accurate colour display effect.
HDMI input
HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection 
from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion 
to an analogue signal, it delivers an unblemished image. 
The non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a 
clearer picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the 
highest output resolution with the source device. The 
HDMI input is fully backwards-compatible with DVI 
sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP 
copy protection.
Smart Control
In a networked setting you want to able to control the 
start up conditions of all displays when the mains power 
is reconnected or resumed after a power interruption. Via 
RS232 commands Smart Control allows flexibility over 
four different start up settings: power status, source 
input, volume level and picture format. For all four 
settings you can choose the display to remember their 
last status or to have a fixed setting when power is 
reconnected.
Hidden and control buttons
The local control buttons of t he d isp lay  are  pla ced i n su ch 
a way that they are less visible for immediate access. 
Furthermore, the remote control sensor and the local 
control buttons can be disabled via RS232 to prevent 
unauthorised control of the display when placed in a 
public space.
SmartCard Xpress Slot
SmartCard Xpress is an expansion slot that lends 
additional functionality to the display. Cards developed by 
Philips and/or third parties are designed to streamline 
connectivity with the display via the slot, eliminating the 
need for external devices.
Network controllability: RS232
Network controllability allows user to control and adjust 
monitors remotely through RS232 protocol.
SmartPower
The backlight intensity can be controlled and pre-set by 
the system which can reduce the power consumption up 
to 50% which saves substantially on energy costs.
Wireless SmartLoader
Provides the ability to copy all menu settings from one 
disp la y i nt o o th er  di sp lay s.  Th e f ea tu re  en su re s u ni fo rm ity  
between the sets and significantly reduces installation 
time. Operates fully wireless.
Compliant with RoHS standards
Philips designs and produces display products in 
compliance with strict Restriction of Hazardous 
Substances (RoHS) standards that restrict lead and other 
toxic substances that can harm the environment.
