Frequently Asked Questions
The major advantage of the Multimedia Base is its minimal space requirements. In fact, it
hardly uses any extra space at all: monitor depth and width are unchanged. Only the
monitor's height is increased by only 3 centimeters.
29. Where can I buy a multimedia base to incorporate with my Philips monitor?
Please contact your dealer/reseller for details.
30. What does Auto Calibrate do?
It makes your monitor perform better and last longer. As a monitor becomes older,
brightness gradually deteriorates and its colors change. This well-known process effects all
monitors. Eventually after a number of years, the monitor's brightness deteriorates to below
50% of its original value. At this stage, the usable life of a monitor is considered ended. Auto
Calibrate regularly readjusts color temperature and luminance to their original values.
31. How does Philips Auto Calibrate feature benefit me?
With Auto Calibrate, it takes a monitor's luminance 33 percent longer to deteriorate to the 50
percent level that marks the end of a display device's useful life. Thanks to Auto Calibrate, a
monitor with a normal life of 10,000 hours, for example, would last for 13,300 hours, a full
one third longer.
