Key Highlights

The Philips 27B2U3601 monitor is packed with features designed for professional use and user comfort.

IPS Technology

IPS displays utilize an advanced technology that provides extra-wide viewing angles of 178/178 degrees, allowing you to view the screen from almost any angle, even in a 90-degree pivot mode. Unlike standard TN panels, IPS screens offer very sharp images with vivid colors, making them ideal not only for photos, movies, and web browsing but also for professional applications requiring accurate color reproduction and consistent brightness.

Crystalclear Images

These Philips monitors deliver Crystalclear Quad HD images with resolutions of 2560 x 1440 or 2560 x 1080 pixels. The new displays use high-performance panels with high pixel density, resulting from high-bandwidth sources that bring images and graphics to life. Whether you have professional requirements for detailed information in CAD/CAM solutions, use 3D graphics applications, or are a finance expert working with extensive spreadsheets, Philips monitors provide Crystalclear images.

120 Hz Fast Refresh Rate

For video playback and gaming, a monitor with exceptionally smooth motion and no lag is essential. This Philips monitor refreshes the screen up to 120 times per second, which is significantly faster than standard displays. A lower refresh rate can cause enemies to appear to jump from place to place on screen, making them difficult targets. With a 120 Hz refresh rate, these crucial missing frames are displayed, ensuring movements appear very smooth, allowing you to aim with precision.

Built-in Stereo Speakers

A pair of high-quality stereo speakers are built into the monitor unit. Depending on the model and design, they may be visible from the front or integrated discreetly.

SoftBlue Technology

SoftBlue LED technology, combined with the monitor's low-blue-light panel, is an effective solution for reducing the adverse health effects caused by prolonged exposure to blue light. This display's panel reduces light intensity by nearly 50%, while SoftBlue LED technology works simultaneously to reduce harmful blue light rays from the screen. SoftBlue LED technology has also been tested and certified by TUV Rheinland Eyesafe® for its effectiveness in reducing blue light.

Flicker-Free Technology

Due to the way brightness is controlled on LED-backlit screens, some users experience screen flicker, leading to eye strain. Philips' Flicker-Free technology uses a new solution to regulate brightness and reduce flicker, making the viewing experience more comfortable.

EasyRead Mode

EasyRead mode offers a paper-like reading experience, reducing eye strain during extended reading sessions.

TUV Rheinland Eyesafe® - RPF® 40

The Philips monitor complies with the TUV Rheinland Eyesafe® standard to protect you from the long-term effects of blue light exposure. The always-on blue light filter not only helps reduce eye strain but also ensures color integrity.

SmartErgoBase

The SmartErgoBase is a monitor stand that provides ergonomic comfort and cable management. The base allows for swivel, tilt, and height adjustments to ensure maximum comfort. The adjustable height stand guarantees optimal viewing, reducing physical strain during long workdays, while the cable management system reduces clutter and keeps the workspace tidy and professional.

Smart Link Sync

Easily create a seamless workspace with multiple monitors using Smart Link Sync. It's designed to automatically adjust monitor settings across daisy-chained displays. Whether you are designing, presenting, or multitasking, enjoy consistent brightness and color without manual adjustments. Choose between OSD synchronization or light synchronization modes (low, medium, or high) on the main monitor to match your environment. For identical monitors, all modes ensure uniform images; for mixed models, it adjusts intelligently.

USB-C Docking with RJ45

Simplify all external devices, from monitor to PC, using a single USB Type-C cable. This includes networking, high-resolution video display from PC to monitor, and internet browsing without an extra network cable, even without a LAN port on your laptop. The RJ45 connection via USB-C provides a fast and secure connection when needed. With the fastest data speeds, you can transfer data from a hard drive to your PC faster than ever. Additionally, USB-C with power delivery can even allow you to power and charge your laptop via the monitor, eliminating the need for extra power cables.
