This document describes the Philips S line 271S7 monitor, a display device designed for various applications, from office work to multimedia consumption.
Function Description
The Philips 271S7 is a monitor that provides a visual display for computers. It features SmartImage presets to optimize display for different types of content, dynamically adjusting brightness, contrast, color, and sharpness in real-time. This includes modes for Office, Photo, Movie, Game, Economy, and LowBlue Mode, each tailored to specific viewing experiences. The SmartContrast feature dynamically enhances contrast for richer dark backgrounds and brighter images, improving overall visual clarity. The monitor also includes a LowBlue Mode, which reduces harmful shortwave blue light to protect eye health, especially during prolonged use.
The monitor supports various input signals, including VGA (Analog), HDMI 1.4 (Digital), and DisplayPort 1.2, allowing connectivity with a wide range of devices. It also has built-in speakers for audio output and an earphone jack for private listening.
The On-Screen Display (OSD) provides a user-friendly interface for adjusting various monitor settings, such as input selection, picture settings (brightness, contrast, sharpness, SmartResponse, SmartContrast, Gamma, Pixel Orbiting, Over Scan), audio settings (volume, mute), color settings (color temperature, sRGB, user define), language, OSD settings (horizontal, vertical, transparency, OSD time out), and setup options (resolution notification, reset, information).
