Highlights
VA Display
Philips' VA LED display uses multi-domain vertical alignment technology for an extremely high static contrast ratio, delivering vivid, brilliant images. The display handles standard office applications with ease and is ideal for photo viewing, internet browsing, movies, games, and more complex graphics applications. Pixel-perfect technology offers an extremely wide viewing angle of 178/178 degrees, for exceptionally sharp images.
AMD FreeSync™ Premium
Gaming shouldn't be a choice between choppy graphics or broken frames. AMD FreeSync™ Premium technology offers the most demanding gamers a smooth, tear-free, lag-free gaming experience at peak performance. No compromises: game with confidence thanks to high refresh rates, low framerate compensation, and low latency.
Gaming at 144 Hz
Want intense, competitive gaming? Want a display that offers sharp, lag-free images? This Philips display renders images up to 144 times per second, 2.4 times faster than a standard display. Lower frame rates can cause enemies to jump from point to point on the screen, making them difficult targets to hit. With a 144Hz frame rate, you can enjoy the most crucial on-screen images that show natural enemy movement, guaranteeing you infallibly accurate aiming. Thanks to ultra-low input lag and tear-free screen effects, this Philips display is your perfect gaming partner.
1ms MPRT Fast Response
MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) is a more intuitive way to describe response time, directly referring to the time between seeing noise and clean, sharp images. The Philips gaming monitor with 1ms MPRT effectively eliminates smearing and blurring, delivering sharper, more precise images to enhance your gaming experience. The best choice for exciting, motion-sensitive video games.
SmartImage Game Mode
The new Philips gaming display features a gamer-tuned quick access OSD with multiple options. The 'FPS' (First Person Shooting) mode enhances dark themes in games, allowing you to see hidden objects in dark areas. The 'Racing' mode adapts the display with the fastest response time, high color settings, and image tuning. The 'RTS' (Real Time Strategy) mode features a special SmartFrame mode that allows you to highlight a specific area, enabling image and size adjustments. Gamers 1 and 2 allow you to save personal game settings based on different games, ensuring optimal performance.
Ultra Wide-Color Technology
Ultra Wide-Color technology offers a wider color spectrum for a more brilliant image. The wider color gamut of Ultra Wide-Color produces more natural greens, more vivid reds, and deeper blues. Bring entertainment content and images to life and enhance productivity with the vibrant colors offered by Ultra Wide-Color technology.
Flicker-free Technology
Due to the way brightness is regulated on LED-backlit screens, some users experience screen flicker that can cause eye strain. Philips Flicker-free technology regulates brightness and reduces flicker for optimal viewing.
LowBlue Mode
Studies show that just as ultraviolet rays can damage eyes, over time, blue light from LED displays can cause eye and vision problems. Developed for well-being, Philips LowBlue Mode settings use intelligent software technology to reduce harmful blue light.
Built-in Stereo Speakers
Dual high-quality stereo speakers are built into the screen. They allow for front-firing or rear-firing sound, with support for lower and higher frequencies depending on the model and design.
SmartContrast
SmartContrast is a Philips technology that analyzes displayed content, automatically adjusting colors and controlling backlight intensity to dynamically enhance contrast for optimal digital images and video, or to improve dark tone reproduction in video games. When the Economy mode is selected, contrast is adjusted and the backlight is optimized for correct display of office applications with reduced energy consumption.
16:9 Full HD Display
Image quality matters. Normal displays offer good quality, but it's not enough. This display features an optimized 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution. Full HD offers sharp detail combined with high brightness, incredible contrast, and maximum sharpness in motion and color for realistic images.
