IPS Technology for Full Colours and Wide Viewing Angles
IPS displays use advanced technology that gives you extra-wide viewing angles of 178°/178°, making it possible to view the display from almost any angle, even in 90° Pivot mode. Unlike standard TN panels, IPS displays provide remarkably crisp images with vivid colours, making them ideal not only for photos, films, and web browsing, but also for professional applications that demand colour accuracy and consistent brightness at all times.
Collaboration-Ready Design
This Philips monitor comes with a built-in 5MP pop-up webcam that securely tucks back into the monitor when not in use. It is equipped with advanced sensors that work seamlessly with Windows Hello facial recognition, allowing you to log into your Windows devices in less than 2 seconds. For added privacy, a physical camera switch lets you disable the webcam when not in use. The noise-cancelling microphone and dual 5-watt integrated speakers ensure clear communication during calls and meetings.
Smart Productivity Features
The MultiClient Integrated KVM switch allows you to control two separate PCs with one monitor-keyboard-mouse setup, with a convenient button to quickly switch between sources. This is handy for setups that require dual PC computing power or sharing one large monitor to show content from two different PCs. MultiView enables active dual connection and view so that you can work with multiple devices like a PC and notebook simultaneously for complex multitasking.
