Philips 220EW8 Computer Monitor User Manual


 
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!
Hub
A Universal Serial Bus device that provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus.
