Pros and cons

According to our monitor expert

  • Thanks to the blue light filter and the flicker-free technology, your eyes won't get strained as quickly during prolonged use.
  • You can create an ergonomic workplace by tilting or turning the monitor, adjusting it in height, or putting it in portrait mode.
  • Due to the relatively low brightness of 250 nits, this screen is less visible in brightly lit or dark rooms.
  • Because of the 4ms response time and 75Hz refresh rate, this screen is unsuitable for professional gaming.

Description

The Philips 242G1G/00 is a 24-inch Full HD monitor with several functions to make working from home sustainably easier. The screen has a built-in Philips LightSensor and a PowerSensor. These 2 functions decrease the energy consumption by automatically adjusting the brightness, for example. To make working from home comfortable, you can ergonomically set up the monitor. You can turn, tilt, or adjust the monitor in height to find the right working posture. In addition, the blue light filter prevents strained eyes during prolonged use. This way, you don't get headaches and sleeplessness. Specially useful when you have to do overtime or want to watch a movie after work. Do you use peripherals? Not a problem. In addition to HDMI and DisplayPort connectors, this Philips monitor also has inputs for DVI, VGA and USB. This monitor is also extra sustainable, because it's made of recycled plastic. This screen is also energy-efficient thanks to the PowerSensor technology. This means the brightness of your monitor automatically decreases when you're not in front of your screen.

Beautiful and environmentally conscious monitor

This beautiful display, screen and design, has the perfect size and solid build quality. But I am mainly concerned with the energy-saving features. I was afraid that the screen would sometimes be too dark or bright for the environment, but the PowerSensor works very well. Also very cool to see that the screen automatically dims and even turns off when you walk away. I am very satisfied!

Great monitor, like everything from Philips

  • Energy efficient
  • Beautiful colors as always with Philips

My experiences with Philips are only good, despite the fact that it is (unfortunately) made abroad these days, I am still very satisfied with it.
