Perfect Panel™
Bright dots and dark dots are defects in a LCD panel. While some 
manufacturers still consider bright and dark defects in an LCD 
panel an inevitable part of the manufacturing process, Philips 
doesn’t.  Philips monitors are produced with zero tolerance for 
LCD panel defects and backed by our  Perfect Panel™ guarantee 
providing repair or replacement of any LCD monitor that displays 
even a single defective bright or dark dot.
8-ms response time
Response time is the period required for a liquid crystal cell to 
go from active (black) to inactive (white) and back to active 
(black) again. It is measured in milliseconds. Faster is better: 
Lower response time means faster transitions and, therefore, 
results in fewer visible image artifacts in the display of fast-moving 
images.
SXGA, 1280 x 1024 resolution
For graphics monitors, the screen resolution signifies the number 
of dots (pixels) on the entire screen. For example, a 
1280-by-1024 pixel screen is capable of displaying 1280 distinct 
dots on each of 1024 lines, or about 1.3 million pixels.
Dual input
Dual input provides connectors to accommodate input of both 
analog VGA and digital DVI signals.
SmartManage enabled 
SmartManage is a system for monitoring, managing and checking 
status of display devices as well as delivering remote support to 
users who experience difficulties - all accomplished over a LAN.
Lead-free
Lead-free display products are designed and produced in 
compliance with strict European Community Restriction of 
Hazardous Substances (RoHS) standards that restrict lead and 
other toxic substances that can harm the environment.
Lower power consumption
Reduction of the electrical power required to operate a device.
Built-in speakers
Audio speakers built into a display device
Ergonomic design
Ergonomic design makes Philips monitors 'people friendly' with 
tilt, swivel and height adjustment so each user can position the 
monitor for maximum viewing comfort and efficiency.
USB 2.0 port
The universal serial bus or USB is a standard protocol for linking 
PCs and peripherals. Because it delivers high speed at a low cost, 
USB has become the most popular method for connecting 
peripheral devices to a computer. A USB 2.0 port located on a 
monitor directly in the user's line of sight provides easy, high-speed 
connectivity for USB devices at a convenient location.
Embedded power supply
An embedded power supply is a power adaptor built into the body
of a display device that replaces a bulky external power adaptor.
