Introduction

The Philips 107B color monitor displays sharp and brilliant
images of text and graphics with a maximum resolution of
1600x1200 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.

• USB upstream port at the back of the monitor is prepared for
the Universal Serial Bus hub. The USB hub is an accessory that
may be purchased from your local Philips dealer.

• 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.

• Moire Cancellation eliminates diffraction, a fringe pattern in
the picture.

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.

As an ENERGY STAR®Partner,
PHILIPS has determined that

this product meets the

ENERGY

STAR

®

guidelines for energy

efficiency.

There are three ways to save your changes: by pressing the Front
Panel Button, by selecting S

AVE from the On Screen Display, or by

letting the On Screen Display time out. Each method saves the
changes you have made in a particular window.

For example, to make a change in the brightness, press the

B

RIGHTNESS button on the front panel, make your change, then press

the B

RIGHTNESS button again. (See page 4 for details.) You can also let

the display time out and the change will be saved. Note: Brightness
and Contrast do not have a S

menu selection.

To recall a change made in the
Brightness and Contrast
windows individually, you must reenter each window and change the
setting.

Exiting from the On Screen Display removes the On Screen Display

everything in all the windows to factory presets.

When you have finished work in any of the windows of the Main

You can, however,press "-"

In some windows (SIZE & POSITION and GEOMETRY), you can save

all your changes at once. In the S

IZE & POSITION window, you can

make changes to each of the five items. When you are done,
highlight the S

AVE item and press the ON SCREEN DISPLAY button. (See

pages 11 - 12 for details.) You can also let the display time out and
the change will be saved.

To recall a change made in
the S

IZE

window,

you can select R

ECALL

from
the On Screen Display.If you
have made a change to only
one item – for example, Z

OOM

– then only Z

OOM

will be changed back
to the previous setting. If more than one item has been changed, but
not saved individually, then all the items changed will be returned to
their previous settings. For example,if you made changes to Z

OOM

H

and did not save them

individually,all three will be changed back when you select R

ECALL

.

In some windows (ADVANCED CONTROLS AND COLOR TEMPERATURE),

only individual saves are possible. For example,in the C

OLOR

TEMPERATURE window, if you select USER 1 and make changes (See
page 9 for details.), you must either save or cancel those changes
before moving on. While you could wait for the U

SER 1 window

(below) to time out, it is not recommended. Since you have not
formally saved this change as your selection, the next time you go
into the C

OLOR TEMPERATURE window,the screen will change to

selection (U

SER 1, USER 2, 9300˚ K, or 6500˚ K) last stored by using

S

AVE. A checkmark

appears beside that
selection.

To recall a change made in
C

from the on screen display.Only
the last item changed will be changed back. All other items will
remain unchanged.

USB

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is an innovation in connecting your IBM-compatible computer to your monitor. By using the USB, you will be able to connect
your keyboard, mouse, printer, and other peripherals to your monitor instead of having to connect them to your computer. This will give you greater
flexibility in setting up your system. Plus, you will have true plug-and-play capability. You can purchase USB hub from your local Philips dealer.

For an IBM-compatible Computer:

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Connect the USB cable to the computer and to

the monitor.(Computer must have a USB port.)
(See diagram 1)

3. Refer to diagram 2 if you have Philips USB hub.

4. Connect the power cable.

5. Turn on the monitor. Then turn on the computer.

6. With the installation of the correct software, you

will be able to connect specially-made
peripherals to the monitor.

Refer to the “Setting Up your Philips monitor” foldout for a more detailed guide to setting up your monitor.

Additional Information

Power saving feature / Glossary

Here are a few definitions that may help you.

Brightness Refers to how light or dark the overall screen is.
Color A term used to refer to the color balance, uniformity,and saturation settings on your monitor screen. Color (even white,

Temperature gray,and black) on your screen is achieved by blending (or balancing) three primary colors: red,green, and blue. As you

increase or decrease any one of these colors, the color temperature changes. For example, at 9300˚ K,you are using more
blue in your color temperature; therefore, your screen will be saturated with more blue and should appear uniformly “bluer”
from one side of the screen to the other.At 6500˚ K, you are using more red in your mixture.True color balance is achieved

when a gray object shows no traces of either red, green, or blue, regardless of the brightness of the image.
Contrast Refers to the sharpness of objects on the screen and the ability to easily distinguish one from the other.
Degauss The process by which metal parts of the screen are demagnetized in order to reduce screen distortion and color impurity.
DDC (Display Data Channel) is a signaling standard established to help the performance of personal computers. In order to use this

function, your computer must be designed for DDC.There are several types of DDC. Most computer monitors are designed for DDC1

and DDC2 Level B (DDC1/2B).
Geometry A set of controls that allows you to adjust the alignment of the picture on the monitor screen. The goal is to “square up”

the picture. This is done by adjusting such items as balanced pincushion,pincushion, parallelogram, rotation, and

trapezoid.
Moire A fringe pattern caused by the interference between two superimposed line patterns.
Noise Term used to refer to interference with the monitor’s picture.
USB Universal Serial Bus. A way to connect your IBM-compatible computer, monitor, and peripherals for true Plug-and-Play

functions. This is an emerging technology.

If you have VESA's DPMS compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption
when not in use. If input from a keyboard, mouse, or other device is detected, the monitor automatically “wakes up.” The table at left shows the
power consumption and signalling of this automatic power-saving feature. To turn this feature on and off, see page 6.The table at right shows the 9
factory preset resolution modes. The maximum number of modes is 22.This leaves room for additions.
