Introduction
The Philips 105S color monitor displays sharp and brilliant
images of text and graphics with a maximum resolution of
1024x768 pixels. It is optimal for Windows, spread sheets
and any other application.
The monitor automatically scans horizontal frequencies
from 30KHz to 60KHz, and vertical frequencies from 50Hz
to 120Hz. 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
• Digital Control – feature provides user-friendliness and
ease-of-use when operating the monitor.
• An anti-glare and anti-static – screen coating eliminates
any adverse effects caused by the screen’s surface, such
as reflection of the room light and dust attraction.
• 85Hz refresh rate – The maximum display resolution is
1024x768@75Hz non-interlaced mode. The recommended
optimum resolution is up to 800x600 pixels non-interlaced
by maximum 85Hz refresh rate.
• Green Design – including automatic power saving
function (NUTEK) and low-emission compliance.
• DDC1 / DDC2B allows communication between the
monitor and the PC for optimal video configuration.
NOTE: 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.
