High definition monitor
A high definition monitor is a display device
designed to deliver the exceptional picture
quality of high definition pictures, one fully
prepared for HD sources like HD set top
boxes. A HD monitor offers picture quality
beyond that of progressive scan, conforming to
strict standards for HD screens that display
high resolution, top picture quality signals
through a universal connection for either
analog VGA or uncompressed DVI digital
connections and supports HDCP. It displays
720p (1280x720p @ 50 and 60 Hz
progressive) and 1080i (1920x1080i @ 50 and
60 Hz interlaced) signals.
16:9 widescreen aspect ratio
An aspect ratio is an expression of a video
image's width compared to its height. The 16:9
widescreen aspect ratio is standard for
universal to high-definition television and
European digital television. A native 16:9
aspect ratio means outstanding game and video
display without bars at top and bottom of the
picture and without the quality loss than comes
from scaling, altering an image to fit on a
different screen size.
SmartContrast ratio 25000:1
You want the LCD flat display with the highest
contrast and most vibrant images. Philips
advanced video processing combined with
unique extreme dimming and backlight
boosting technology results in vibrant images.
SmartContrast will increase the contrast with
excellent blacklevel and accurate rendition of
dark shades and colors. It gives a bright, lifelike
picture with high contrast and vibrant colors.
5ms on/off response time
On-Off 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
transition of texts and graphics. On-Off
response time is a more important measure in
the display of business content like documents,
graphs and photos.
