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 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.
