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.

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.

HDMI ensures universal digital connectivity

An HDMI-ready device has all the required hardware to accept High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) input. An HDMI cable enables high-quality digital video and audio to be transmitted over a single cable from a PC or any number of AV sources (including set-top boxes, DVD players, A/V receivers and video cameras).

SmartImage: Optimised user-friendly display experience

SmartImage is an exclusive leading edge Philips technology that analyses the content displayed on your screen and gives you optimised display performance. This user-friendly interface allows you to select various modes like Office, Image, Entertainment, Economy etc., to fit the application in use. Based on the selection, SmartImage dynamically optimises the contrast, colour saturation and sharpness of images and videos for ultimate display performance. The Economy mode option offers you major power savings. All in real time with the press of a single button!

SmartKolor for rich vibrant images

SmartKolor is a sophisticated colour extension technology that is able to enhance the visual colour range of the display. By boosting the RGB gain level of the display, you can achieve rich, vibrant images to experience outstanding photos and videos.

SmartTxt for an optimised reading experience

SmartTxt is a sophisticated algorithm that enhances reading of text-based applications such as PDF documents and eBooks, which usually requires more focus and concentration. The SmartTxt feature increases the contrast and boundary sharpness of text content for better readability. Optimisation for reading is achieved by adjusting the display's grey level scale along with white balance, brightness and contrast.

Ambiglow intensifies entertainment with a halo of light

Ambiglow adds a new dimension to your viewing experience. The innovative Ambiglow technology enhances the content on the screen by creating a halo of light from 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. Especially suited for watching movies, sports or playing games, Philips Ambiglow offers you a unique and immersive viewing experience.

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
