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.

Easy picture format control

widescreen mode and back again to match the
