Zero Bright Dot™
Bright dots are defects in a LCD panel once thought to be an 
inevitable part of the manufacturing process. With Zero Bright 
Dot™, Philips monitors are guaranteed without dot defects.
XGA, 1024 x 768 resolution
For graphics monitors, the screen resolution signifies the number 
of dots (pixels) on the entire screen. For example, a 1024-by-768
pixel screen is capable of displaying 1024 distinct dots on each 
of 768 lines, or about 786 thousand pixels. XGA provides 
resolutions of 640 by 480 or 1024 by 768 pixels. In addition, 
XGA allows monitors to be non-interlaced. This ensures a better 
display performance and accurate color display effect.
Dual Input
Connectors to accommodate input of both analog VGA and digital 
DVI signals.
sRGB ready
Calibrated RGB that is optimized for the vast majority of computer 
peripherals, monitors, operating systems and browsers, allowing 
accurate color mapping with very little data overhead.
Built-in Speakers
Audio speakers built into a display device.
Adjustable height
The ability to set your monitor to the most pleasurable viewing 
height. Height adjustment makes computer work more comfortable 
and reduces fatigue or eyestrain, even when you spend long hours 
working on the computer. It makes you more productive.
Screen tilt and swivel
Movement of a screen to attain the ideal viewing angle.
Cable management
A system for organizing cables and wires required for the operation 
of a display device to have a tidy work space.
SmartManage
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.
Lower power consumption
Reduction of the electrical power required to operate a device.
Embedded power supply
A power adaptor built into the body of a display device that 
replaces a bulky external power adaptor.
