Ambiglow

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.

Smart Bias light

Smart Bias lighting mode enables you to enjoy
o

ptimum 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

AH-IPS technology

This latest Philips display uses advanced AH-IPS
panels utilizing improved structure resulting in
superior color reproduction, response time and
power consumption compared to other wide
view angle panels. Unlike standard TN panels,
AH-IPS panels exhibit least amount of Gamma
fluctuation and therefore are able to show
consistent color even at 178/178 degrees and in
pivot mode. With remarkable performance, it is
best suited for applications demanding color
accuracy and consistent brightness at all times
like photo retouching, graphics applications and
web browsing.

Ultra Narrow Bezel

Utilizing latest technology panels, the new
Phil

ips 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.

HDMI Ready

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