Philips is about to expand its lineup of office displays with two physically similar 27-inch monitors. Although identical on the outside, each one of these monitors has its own set of specifications, including different panels, connectivity ports, and technologies.

The Philips 279P1 uses a 4K, 10-bit IPS panel with a 60Hz refresh rate, and 4ms of GTG response time. Featuring a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and a luminance of 350nits and  178º (H)/178º (V) viewing angles, this monitor covers 103% of the NTSC colour gamut and 122% of the sRGB colour gamut. Additionally, it comes factory calibrated with a ΔE < 2 to ensure an excellent viewing experience out of the box.

The Philips 276B1 comes with a QHD IPS panel with a 75Hz refresh rate and 4ms of G2G response time. Unlike the 279P1 panel, this one is 8-bit and “only” has 300nits of brightness, but it supports Adaptive Sync. The 276B1 panel features 178º (H)/178º (V) viewing angles, a contrast ratio of 1000:1, and is capable of covering 110% of the NTSC colour gamut, and 123% of the sRGB colour gamut.

Both monitors are TUV Eye Comfort certified to reduce eye fatigue thanks to the Flicker-Free technology and LowBlue Mode employed. These monitors feature LightSensor technology, to automatically set the “perfect brightness with minimal power” based on the light conditions of the room, and EasyRead mode to simulate a paper reading experience.

The Philips 4K monitor comes with 2x HDMI 2.0 ports, 1x DisplayPort 1.4, a USB-C port (DP alt. mode), a USB 3-2 hub with 4 ports, an RJ-45 port, a headphone jack, and a pair of 3W speakers. The 276B1 has the same port layout with an extra DisplayPort 1.4 and uses 2x 2W speakers.

The two monitors can be easily adjusted to the user's liking and needs by tilting (-5º to 35º), pivoting (±90º), swivelling (±180º) or adjusting its height (0 to 150mm).

Pricing and availability of these monitors details haven't been shared yet, but you can learn more about the Philips 279P1 HERE, and the Philips 276B1 HERE.

MMD display specialists and the brand licensing partner for Philips monitors has kicked off the new decade by announcing a sponsorship deal with one of the most successful esports organisations, G2 Esports.

Founded by Carlos “ocelote” Rodriguez in 2013, G2 Esports has since become one of the top esports teams, by achieving over 94 awards across several competitive game titles. Philips monitors and G2 will team up in an attempt to conquer the console gaming market in 2020 with a focus on the Racing and Rocket League teams.

“We’re proud to join forces with G2 in order to make console gaming more exciting than ever and to help support the e-sports community. The G2 Rocket League team, in particular, have worked hard to get where they are now and we’re excited to see how far they go in 2020,” said Stefan Sommer, Director of Marketing & Business Management at MMD.

MMD and Philips will equip the whole G2 Esports teams training facilities with monitors optimised for console gaming. The theory is that this will both help the team to optimise training while providing feedback to Philips which will help in the development of future products.

“When gaming, whether we're competing online or playing single player titles, we want a smooth, remarkable experience, Don't let them lie to you – pro players not only want their games to run smoothly but also to look gorgeous,” said Carlos “ocelote” Rodriguez, G2 Esports CEO, while welcoming Philips on board.

KitGuru says: It is good to see a brand such as Philips working together with esports professional gamers, as the knowledge the company learns from the pros will no doubt improve future products for casual gamers to enjoy in the home.
