Philips launches 24B2D5300 ‘dual sided’ monitor with two 120Hz IPS panels

Philips has introduced something quite unique to the market this week. The new 24B2D5300 is a 120Hz IPS monitor, but it actually houses two screens, one on the front and one on the back, designed for customer-facing environments and collaborative workspaces.

The monitor uses two identical 23.8‑inch IPS panels, each offering 1080p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and wide 178° viewing angles. Both sides include their own USB‑C port with 65W power delivery, plus HDMI support, allowing each screen to operate independently or connect to separate devices. Philips’ SmartView and DualView modes enable content to be split, mirrored or extended across the two panels, while OSD Sync allows brightness and image settings to be adjusted on both screens simultaneously.

One example of this monitor being put to use would be on a reception desk or service counter, where check-in details or forms can be displayed on the rear side, while internal applications remain visible on the employee's side of the monitor. A 180‑degree swivel base allows either screen to be rotated and shared easily during collaboration or training.

Each panel supports Philips’ MultiView picture‑in‑picture and picture‑by‑picture modes, enabling two users to work from separate sources on the same device. Eye‑comfort features include Flicker‑free, Low Blue Light, SoftBlue Technology and Eyesafe 2.0 certification.

The Philips 24B2D5300 will be available starting in June, priced at £359.99, backed by a 5-year warranty.
