SmartImage Lite

SmartImage Lite is an exclusive, leading edge 
Philips technology that analyses the content 
displayed on your screen. Based on a scenario 
you select, SmartImage Lite dynamically 
enhances the contrast, colour saturation and 
sharpness of images and videos for ultimate 
display performance - all in real time with the 
press on a single button.

SmartContrast

SmartContrast is Philips technology that 
analyses the contents you are displaying, 
automatically adjusting colours and controlling 
backlight intensity to dynamically enhance 
contrast for the best digital images and 
optimum contrast for more entertainment fun 
when viewing videos or playing games where 
dark hues are displayed; when you select the 
Economy mode, contrast is adjusted and 
backlighting fine-tuned for just-right display of 
everyday office applications and lower power 
consumption.

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 artefacts 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.

PerfectPanel™

Bright dots and dark dots are defects in a LCD 
panel. While some manufacturers still consider 
bright and dark defects in a LCD panel an 
inevitable part of the manufacturing process, 
Philips doesn't. Philips monitors, compliant 
with ISO 13406-2 Class I standard, are 
produced with zero tolerance for LCD panel 
defects and backed by Philips PerfectPanel™ 
globally valid warranty providing repair or 
replacement of any LCD monitors that display 
even a single defective bright or dark dot.

HDCP ready

High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection 
(HDCP) is a copyright protection system that 
is incorporated into the DVI connector. It 
helps stop unauthorised duplication of 
copyrighted content. HDCP allows you to play 
protected content media such as movies and 
concerts. It checks the signal to prevent piracy, 
allowing only legal copies of content to display.

SmartTouch controls

SmartTouch controls are intelligent, ultra-
responsive, touch sensitive icons that replace 
protruding buttons. Responding to your 
lightest touch, SmartTouch controls, for 
example, power up your monitor or brighten 
and sharpen your display with SmartImage Lite. 
When activated, SmartTouch icons glow to 

indicate that your commands have been 
implemented.

Innovative cutting-edge design

An exclusive design concept that combines 
smooth, flowing lines reminiscent fine modern 
sculpture with ultra modern materials and 
techno touches to create a monitor that makes 
a lifestyle statement.

USB 2.0 port

The universal serial bus or USB is a standard 
protocol for linking PCs and peripherals. 
Because it delivers high speed at a low cost, 
USB has become the most popular method for 
connecting peripheral devices to a computer. 
A port located on a monitor directly in the 
user's line of sight provides easy, high-speed 
connectivity for USB devices at a convenient 
location. (USB 2.0 support is dependent on 
your PC's USB configuration; when connected 
to a PC that supports USB 2.0, your monitor is 
USB 2.0 compatible)

Built-in speakers

Audio speakers built into a display device.

Embedded power supply

An embedded power supply is a power 
adaptor built into the body of a display device 
that replaces a bulky external power adaptor.
