With the MultiClient Integrated KVM switch, you can control two separate PCs with one monitor-keyboard-mouse setup. A convenient button allows you to quickly switch between sources. This is handy for setups requiring dual PC computing power or sharing one large monitor to display two different PCs.
IPS Technology
Abstract visual representing wide viewing angles and color accuracy. IPS displays use advanced technology that provides extra-wide viewing angles of 178°/178°, making it possible to view the display from almost any angle. Unlike standard TN panels, IPS displays deliver remarkably crisp images with vivid colors, making them ideal not only for photos, movies, and web browsing, but also for professional applications demanding color accuracy and consistent brightness at all times.
UltraWide CrystalClear Images
A landscape scene with vibrant colors and high detail, showcasing UltraWide resolution. These Philips screens deliver CrystalClear, UltraWide Quad HD 3440 x 1440 pixel images. Utilizing high-performance panels with a high-density pixel count and 178°/178° wide viewing angles, these displays make your images and graphics come alive. The UltraWide 21:9 format enables more productivity with more room for side-by-side comparisons and more viewable spreadsheet columns. Whether you are a professional requiring extremely detailed information for CAD-CAM solutions, or a financial wizard working on huge spreadsheets, Philips displays deliver CrystalClear images.
DisplayHDR 400
A close-up of colorful plants with bright highlights and deep shadows, demonstrating HDR capabilities. VESA-certified DisplayHDR 400 delivers a significant step-up from normal SDR displays. Unlike other 'HDR compatible' screens, true DisplayHDR 400 produces astonishing brightness, contrast, and colors. With global dimming and a minimum of 400 nits brightness, images come to life with notable highlights while featuring deeper, more nuanced blacks.
Built-in Stereo Speakers

PowerSensor
A monitor screen in a dimly lit room, with a subtle indication of power saving. PowerSensor is a built-in 'people sensor' that transmits and receives harmless infrared signals to determine if a user is present. It automatically reduces monitor brightness when the user steps away from the desk, cutting energy costs by up to 75% and prolonging monitor life.
Earphone Hook
A close-up of a monitor side with a headphone resting on an integrated hook. The unique design of the headphone hook on the side of the Philips monitor brings tidiness and cable management to your working station. The easy access lets you put aside your headphones easily, ensuring all necessary accessories are within reach.
Compact Ergo Base

LightSensor
A monitor screen in a room with varying light conditions, showing brightness adjustment. LightSensor uses a smart sensor to adjust the picture brightness depending on the room light conditions for the perfect picture with minimal power usage.
