TFT(thin film transistor)
Usually made from amorphous silicon (a-Si) and used as a switch to a charge storage device
located below each sub-pixel on an active matrix LCD.
TrueVision
TrueVision is industry-leading, proprietary Philips testing and algorithm technology for monitor
adjustment and fine tuning, an extensive process that ensures ultimate display performance in
compliance with a standard four-times more stringent than Microsoft's Vista requirements from each
and every monitor that leaves the factory - not just a few review samples. Only Philips goes to these
lengths to deliver this exacting level of color accuracy and display quality in every new monitor.
U
USB or Universal Serial Bus
A smart plug for PC peripherals. USB automatically determines resources (like driver
software and bus bandwidth) required by peripherals. USB makes necessary resources
available without user intervention.
USB eliminates "case anxiety" -- the fear of removing the computer case to install add-
●
on peripherals. USB also eliminates adjustment of complicated IRQ settings when
installing new peripherals.
USB does away with "port gridlock." Without USB, PCs are normally limited to one
●
printer, two Com port devices (usually a mouse and modem), one Enhanced Parallel
Port add-on (scanner or video camera, for example) and a joystick. More and more
peripherals for multimedia computers arrive on the market every day. With USB, up to
127 devices can run simultaneously on a computer.
USB permits "hot plug-in." There's no need to shut down, plug in, reboot and run set-
●
up to install peripherals. And no need to go through the reverse process to unplug a
device.
In short, USB transforms today's "Plug-and-Pray" into true Plug-and-Play!
