Philips Brilliance LCD monitor 225B1CS/00

PowerSensor
PowerSensor is a built-in 'people sensor' that transmits and receives harmless infrared signals to determine if the user is present and automatically reduces monitor brightness when the user steps away from the desk, cutting energy costs by up to 50 percent and prolonging monitor life.

SmartImage
SmartImage is an exclusive leading-edge Philips technology that analyses the content displayed on your screen. Based on a scenario you select, SmartImage dynamically enhances the contrast, colour saturation and sharpness of images and videos for ultimate display performance - all in real time and at the press of a single button.

TrueVision
TrueVision is an industry leading, proprietary Philips testing and algorithm technology for the adjustment and fine-tuning of monitors, an extensive process that ensures ultimate display performance in compliance with a standard four-times more stringent than Microsoft's Vista requirements, for each monitor that leaves the factory - not just a few review samples. Only Philips goes to these lengths to deliver this exacting level of colour accuracy and display quality in every new monitor.

SmartControl II
SmartControl II is monitor-based software with an easy-to-use on-screen graphic interface that guides you through fine-tuning resolution, colour calibration and other display settings including brightness, contrast, clock & phase, position, RGB, white point and - on models with onboard speakers - volume adjustments.

Built-in stereo audio
A pair of high-quality stereo speakers built into a display device. They may be visible front firing, or invisible down firing, top firing, rear firing etc. depending on model and design.

Screen tilt and swivel
Screen tilt and swivel mechanism built into the base permits the monitor to swivel and tilt backwards or forwards.

High energy efficiency
Philips has taken a lead in ensuring that all its products switch to energy efficient solutions. By using efficient power supplies and reduction in components, Philips has ensured that your monitor typically consumes about 50% less power than its equivalent previous generation model. Energy saving is further enhanced by using only 0.5 Watts in sleep mode. Lower power consumption results in fewer CO2 emissions.

Eco-friendly materials
With sustainability as a strategic driver of its business, Philips is committed to using eco-friendly materials across its new product range. Lead-free materials are used throughout. All body plastic parts, metal chassis parts and packing material use 100% recyclable material. A 50% reduction in mercury content in lamps has been achieved. We strictly adhere to RoHs standards, which ensure that all hazardous material is removed, and that only environmentally friendly material is used.

EPEAT Silver
The EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) program helps purchasers evaluate, compare and select computer products such as monitors based on 51 environmental criteria supported by the US EPA. EPEAT certification ensures reduction in the use of toxic materials and hazardous waste and also ensures compliance with Energy Star. All Philips monitors are EPEAT-registered with Silver tier, ensuring protection for human health and the environment, while also being more energy efficient and ensuring low emissions of climate-changing green house gases.

USB port for multimedia
The universal serial bus or USB is a standard protocol for linking PCs and peripherals. Since it delivers high speed at a low cost, USB has become the most popular method for connecting peripheral devices to a computer. A port located on a monitor directly in the user's line of sight provides easy, high-speed connectivity for USB devices at a convenient location. (USB 2.0 support is dependent on your PC's USB configuration; when connected to a PC that supports USB 2.0, your monitor is USB 2.0 compatible)
