Short-wave, blue light rays from LED screens, similar to UV rays, can cause eye damage and impair vision over time. Philips LowBlue mode uses software technology to reduce the amount of short-wave, blue light. Because of the way brightness is controlled on LED-backlit displays, some users experience flicker on the screen, which causes eye fatigue over time. Philips Flicker Free technology uses an alternative brightness control solution to reduce this effect and improve visual comfort. The stand of this monitor allows for very flexible adjustment options: Adjust the monitor height, tilt it down and up, swivel it left or right, or rotate it 90° to portrait mode (pivot). The perfect monitor orientation for any sitting position or activity is just a flick of the wrist away. Speakers are already integrated into this monitor. So you don't need external speakers and save space on your desk. Similar to IPS panels, this monitor's VA (Vertical Alignment) panel also impresses with high viewing angle stability, so you can still see content clearly even if you view the monitor from the side. This technology is also convincing in terms of color fidelity. Compared to IPS panels, VA monitors often achieve even higher contrast ratios and deeper, more homogeneous black tones. Thus, this monitor is perfectly suited for working in darkened rooms and for color-sensitive applications like image editing.
