Features

SmartImage: Optimised user-friendly display experience

SmartImage is an exclusive leading-edge Philips technology that analyses the content displayed on your screen. Based on a scenario you select, SmartImage dynamically enhances the contrast, colour saturation and sharpness of images and videos for ultimate display performance - all in real time and at the press of a single button.

TrueVision: Laboratory quality display performance

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

SmartContrast: For incredible rich black details

SmartContrast is a Philips technology that analyses the contents you are displaying, automatically adjusting colours and controlling backlight intensity to dynamically enhance contrast for the best digital images and videos or when playing games where dark hues are displayed. When Economy mode is selected, contrast is adjusted and backlighting fine-tuned for just-right display of everyday office applications and lower power consumption.

Dual input accepts both analogue VGA and digital DVI signals

Dual input provides connectors to accommodate input of both analogue VGA and digital DVI signals.

Auto picture format control switching in wide and 4:3 format

Philips auto picture format control on OSD is used to switch from 4:3 aspect ratio to widescreen mode and back again to match the display's aspect ratio with your content. It can be used for working with wide documents without having to scroll or for viewing widescreen media in widescreen mode and distortion-free, native mode display of 4:3 ratio content.

DVI-D input and HDCP support

High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a copyright protection system that is incorporated into the DVI connector. It helps stop unauthorised duplication of copyrighted content. HDCP allows you to play protected content media such as movies and concerts. It checks the signal to prevent piracy, allowing only legal copies of content to display.

Hassle-free display performance tuning with SmartControl II

SmartControl II is monitor-based software with an easy-to-use on-screen graphic interface that guides you through fine-tuning resolution, colour calibration and other display settings including brightness, contrast, clock and phase, position, RGB, white point and - on models with onboard speakers - volume adjustments.

1920 x 1200 resolution: ideal for two A4 pages side by side

Wide format of Ultra Extended Graphics Array, a display specification that is capable of displaying 1920 x 1200 resolution, or approximately 2.3 million pixels.

Screen tilts to your ideal, individualised viewing angle

Adjustable tilt is backward and forward movement of a screen on its base to achieve custom positioning for an ideal viewing angle and more comfort for people who spend long hours working on the computer.

The green design conserves resources and reduces operating costs

The green design is based on environmentally conscious engineering of the display device to minimise power consumption, reduce packaging materials and eliminate environmentally sensitive materials.
