Minimalistic looks with Ultra-Narrow Bezel

Utilising the latest technology panels, the new Philips displays are designed with a minimalistic approach by limiting the outer bezel thickness to about 2.5 mm. Combined with an in-panel black matrix strip of around 9 mm, the overall bezel dimensions are reduced significantly, minimising distractions and maximising viewing size. Especially suited to multi-display or tiling setups like gaming, graphics design and professional applications, the Ultra-narrow bezel display gives you the feeling of using one large display.

Ambiglow intensifies your 3D experience with a halo of light

Ambiglow adds a new dimension to your viewing experience. The innovative Ambiglow technology enlarges the screen by creating a halo of light on the surrounding wall from the rear of the monitor. Its fast processor analyses the incoming image content and continuously adapts the colour and brightness of the emitted light to match the image. User-friendly options allow you to adjust the ambience to your liking and also help reduce eye fatigue. Especially suitable for watching movies or sport or playing 2D or 3D games, Philips Ambiglow offers you a unique and immersive viewing experience.

AH-IPS display for brilliant images with vivid colours

This latest Philips display uses advanced AH-IPS panels, resulting in superior colour reproduction, response time and power consumption. Unlike standard TN panels, AH-IPS panels show consistent colour even at 178-degree wide angles and in pivot mode. With remarkable performance, AH-IPS is best suited for applications demanding colour accuracy and consistent brightness at all times, such as photo retouching, graphics applications and web browsing.

SmartImage game mode optimised for gamers

The new Philips gaming display has quick-access OSD fine-tuned for gamers, offering you multiple options. "FPS" mode (First person shooting) improves dark themes in games, allowing you to see hidden objects in dark areas. "Racing" mode adapts the display with the fastest response time and high colour, along with image adjustments. "RTS" mode (Real-time strategy) has a special SmartFrame mode that enables highlighting of specific area and allows for size and image adjustments. Gamer 1 and Gamer 2 enable you to save personal customised settings based on different games, ensuring best performance.

Smart Bias 6500K lighting ensures optimum viewing experience

Smart Bias lighting mode enables you to enjoy optimum image quality with viewing comfort. In a dark room, your eyes dilate and constrict with the constantly changing images, which may lead to Computer Vision Syndrome. Smart Bias light creates a soft halo of static 6500k white light on the surrounding wall around the monitor. Especially suitable for people who spend extended periods of time looking at their display, it not only helps reduce eye strain and fatigue, but also eliminates reflections and glare from room lighting, enhancing perceived contrast ratio and picture details and preserving correct colour perception

Flicker-free 3D performance

Flicker-free 3D ensures that you get long hours of comfortable entertainment. Its affordable, lightweight zero-flicker glasses do not require any batteries or cable connections. Now finally you can set yourself free from all the hassles and enjoy 3D performance with your family!

Auto 3D with the latest Blu-ray and game consoles with HDMI

With Blu-ray gaming and movie players with HDMI 1.4a compatible connection, the Philips 3D display will auto-switch to 3D mode and give you awesome images straight away. No more fussing with adjustments!

USB 3.0 enables fast data transfers and smart phone charging

Super-Speed USB 3.0 deploys a 5.0 gbit/s transfer rate, which is about 10 times faster than the USB 2.0 standard, significantly reducing data transfer time and saving you time and money. With more bandwidth, super-speed transfer rates, better power management and superior overall performance, USB 3.0 sets the latest global standard allowing you to use large-capacity storage devices. Sync-N-Go technology ensures you don't have to wait for bandwidth to be freed up any more. Your investment in USB 2.0 devices is protected as it is backwards-compatible.

Fast-charge your mobile device

This new Philips display comes with a built-in USB 3.0 fast-charger. Employing a special circuit that boosts power output to 1.5 A, this display will fast-charge your mobile device while allowing for simultaneous super-speed data transfers, saving you time and money. You can charge any standard device using the USB charging method.
