The VA display delivers awesome images with wide viewing angles
Philips VA LED display uses an advanced multi-domain vertical alignment technology, which gives you super-high static contrast ratios for extra vivid and bright images. While standard office applications are handled with ease, it is especially suitable for photos, web-browsing, movies, gaming, and demanding graphical applications. Its optimized pixel management technology gives you a 178/178 degree extra-wide viewing angle, resulting in crisp images.
DisplayHDR 400 for more lifelike and outstanding visuals
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. It renders a fuller palette of rich new colors, delivering a visual experience that engages your senses.
RJ-45 to USB-C gives an easy network connection with security
Simplify all peripherals from monitor to PC using a one-cable-docking USB Type-C connector, which includes networking, high-resolution video output from PC to monitor, and surfing on the Internet without an additional network cable, even without a LAN port on your notebook. RJ45 connection through USB-C offers a fast and secure connection when needed. Getting the fastest data speeds allows you to transfer data from an HDD to your PC faster than ever. Additionally, USB-C with power delivery can even enable you to power and charge your notebook from the monitor, eliminating the need for extra power cables.
SmartKVM: for easily switching between sources.
Unlike a traditional built-in KVM monitor button, the smart KVM allows for switching between sources with the click of a button on your keyboard. When all devices are properly connected, users can easily switch between sources by clicking the "Ctrl" key three times.
Secure sign-in with pop-up webcam
Philips' innovative and secure webcam pops up when you need it and securely tucks back into the monitor when you are not using it. The webcam is also equipped with advanced sensors for Windows Hello facial recognition, which conveniently logs you into your Windows devices in less than 2 seconds, 3 times faster than a password.
Eyesafe certified blue light protection and color accuracy
Philips display meets TUV Rheinland Eyesafe® standard to truly protect you from long exposure to blue light. The always-on blue light filter not only helps reduce digital eye strain but also guarantees color integrity.
32:9 SuperWide screen designed to replace multiscreen setups
