The product, explained
About the Philips 172B9TL/00
Philips 172B9TL/00 is listed in the computer monitors category. The recorded specifications include display diagonal: 43.2 cm (17"); display resolution: 1280 x 1024 pixels; panel type: TN; maximum refresh rate: 60 Hz. This entry covers manufacturer code 172B9TL/00. Specifications relate to this exact source record; other editions or packages may differ.
The 43.2 cm (17") display is specified at 1280 x 1024 pixels. Consider these together: a larger screen provides more physical space, while resolution determines the number of pixels available. Neither specification establishes brightness, colour accuracy or motion quality.
The listed maximum refresh rate is 60 Hz. To use it, the source device, cable, resolution and input must all support the intended mode. Refresh rate is separate from response time and input lag.

Not necessarily. Check the laptop port supports the required display mode and charging level.
