Minimalistic looks with Ultra Narrow Bezel

Utilizing latest technology panels, the new Philips displays are designed with minimalistic approach by limiting the outer bezel thickness to about 2.5mm. Combined with in-panel black matrix strip of around 9mm, the overall bezel dimensions are reduced significantly allowing for minimal distractions and maximum viewing size. Especially suited for multi-display or tiling setup 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 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 color and brightness of the emitted light to match the image. User friendly options allow you to adjust the ambiance to your liking and also help reduce eye fatigue. Especially suited for watching movies, sports or playing 2D or 3D games, Philips Ambiglow offers you a unique and immersive viewing experience.

AH-IPS display for brilliant images with vivid colors

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

"RTS" mode (Real time strategy) has a special SmartFrame mode which enables highlighting of specific area and allows for size and image adjustments. Gamer 1 and Gamer 2 enable you to save personal customized 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 suited for people who spend extended time on their display, it not only helps reduce eye strain and fatigue, but also eliminates reflections and glares from room lighting enhancing perceived contrast ratio and picture details, preserving correct color perception
