Introduction
The Philips Brilliance 201P/201B color monitor displays sharp
and brilliant images of text and graphics with a maximum
resolution of 1800x1440(201P),1800x1350(201B) 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 115KHz(201P),107KHz(201B), 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 displays an image with
the precise parameters you desire.
Features
• An anti-glare, anti-static, and 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 correction minimizes 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 Bay at back of monitor is prepared for the Universal
Serial Bus hub. You can easily and flexibly connect USB-
designed devices – such as a mouse or keyboard – to the
monitor for true Plug-and-Play function. USB hub sold
separately (optional).
• Green Design – including automatic power saving function
(NUTEK) and low-emission compliance
(TCO ’95) – shows your commitment to the environment.
• DDC1/DDC2B allows communication between the monitor
and the PC for optimal video configuration.
• New CrystalClear technology for sharpnest high brightness
and high contrast
• Moire Cancellation eliminates diffraction, a fringe pattern in
the picture.
