Introduction and Safety Introduction The Philips Brilliance 107MP/109MP color monitor displays sharp and brilliant images of text and graphics with a maximum resolution of 1600x1200 (for 107MP); 1800x1350 (for 109MP) 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 95KHz (107KHz for 109MP), and vertical frequencies from 50Hz to 160Hz. With microprocessor-based digitalcontrolled 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.
