VA display

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. It’s optimized pixel management technology gives you 178/178 degree extra wide viewing angle, resulting in crisp images.

AMD FreeSync™ Premium

Gaming shouldn’t be a choice between choppy gameplay or broken frames. AMD FreeSync™ Premium equips serious gamers with a fluid, tear-free gameplay experience at peak performance. There are no compromises, the game confidently with a high refresh rate, low framerate compensation, and low latency.

144Hz Gaming

You play intense, competitive gaming. You demand a display with lag-free, ultra-smooth

images. This Philips display redraws the screen image up to 144 times per second, effectively 2.4x faster than a standard display. A lower frame rate can make enemies appear to jump from spot to spot on the screen, making them difficult targets to hit. With a 144Hz frame rate, you get those critical missing images on the screen which shows enemy movement in ultra-smooth motion so you can easily target them. With ultra-low input lag and no screen tearing, this Philips display is your perfect gaming partner

1ms MPRT fast response

MPRT (motion picture response time) is a more intuitive way to describe the response time, which directly refers to the duration from seeing blurry noise to clean and crisp images. Philips gaming monitor with 1 ms MPRT effectively eliminates smearing and motion blur and delivers shaper and more precise visuals to enhance the gaming experience. Best choice for playing thrilling and twitch-sensitive games.

SmartImage Game mode

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 color, along with image adjustments. “RTS” mode (Real time strategy) has a special SmartFrame mode that enables the highlighting of specific areas and allows for size and image adjustments. Gamer 1 and Gamer 2 enable you to save personal customized settings based on different games, ensuring the best performance.

Ultra Wide-Color Technology delivers a wider spectrum of colors for a more brilliant picture. Ultra Wide-Color wider “color gamut” produces more natural- looking greens, vivid reds and deeper blues. Bring, media entertainment, images, and even productivity more alive and vivid colors from Ultra Wide- Color Technology.

Flicker-free technology

Due to the way brightness is controlled on LED-backlit screens, some users experience flicker on their screen which causes eye fatigue. Philips Flicker- free Technology applies a new solution to regulate brightness and reduce flicker for more comfortable viewing.
