Safety precautions and maintenance
• Unplug the monitor, if you are not going to use it for an
extended period of time.
• Unplug the monitor, if you need to clean it with a slightly
damp cloth. Wiping the screen with a dry cloth is okay when
the power is disconnected. However, never use alcohol or
ammonia-based liquids.

normally when following the instructions in this manual.
• The back cover should be removed only by qualified service
personnel.
• Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from stoves
or any other heat source.
• The top of the monitor is not a shelf. Remove any object that
could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the
monitor’s electronics. • Keep the monitor dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose
it to rain or excessive moisture.
• Keep the monitor away from magnetic objects, such as
speakers, electric motors, transformers, etc.
• When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and
outlet are easily accessible.

Introduction
The Philips 107MB color monitor displays sharp and brilliant
images of text and graphics with a maximum resolution of
1280x1024 pixels. It is optimal for Windows, CAD / CAM / CAE,
desktop publishing, spread sheets, multi-media, and any other
application that demands a large screen size and high
resolutions.
The monitor automatically scans horizontal frequencies from
30KHz to 86KHz, and vertical frequencies from 50Hz to 160Hz.
With microprocessor-based digital-controlled circuitry and On
Screen Display (OSD) controls, the monitor can automatically
adjust itself to the video card’s scanning frequency and can
display an image with the precise parameters you desire.
Features
• An anti-glare, anti-static, anti-reflection, high-contrast screen
coating eliminates any bad effects caused by room light
reflecting on and dust attracted to the screen’s surface.
• With the Color Adjustment feature, you can easily choose
different preset color temperatures or set your own
customized color parameters.
• The Image Tilt Adjustment feature corrects a rotated image.
This adjustment compensates for the distortions caused by
elements such as the Earth’s magnetic field.
• The full-size feature expands the image on the monitor to fill
the screen when used in factory preset modes.
• Optional USB Connector at the back of the monitor is
prepared for the Universal Serial Bus hub. You can easily and
flexibly connect USB-designed devices – such as a mouse or
keyboard – to the monitor for true Plug-and-Play function. The
USB hub is an accessory that may be purchased from you
local Philips dealer.
• Green Design – including automatic power saving function
(NUTEK) and low-emission compliance
(optional TCO ’95) – shows your commitment to the
environment.
• DDC1 / DDC2B allows communication between the monitor
and the PC for optimal video configuration.
• Moire Cancellation eliminates diffraction, a fringe pattern in
the picture.
N OTE : Your monitor operates according to the VESA-standard DDC
level 1 / 2B. Only computers that support the same guidelines and
operate at an equal or higher level can use this feature. If your
computer does not support the relevant guidelines, you can still use
your monitor and computer. However, you may need to manually
specify the appropriate resolution in the computer.
As an Energy Star Partner,
PHILIPS has determined that
this product meets the
Energy Star guidelines for
energy efficiency.
