Philips has expanded its line of gaming monitors with the 27M2N5500X. Designed for action-packed gamers, it features a number of useful features designed to enhance the user's gaming experience.
The Philips 27M2N5500X features a 27-inch Fast IPS In Plane Switching (IPS) panels are an expensive option but they have excellent colour accuracy and far greater viewing angles then TN and VA panels (Not that we condone slouching while gaming). They are great for graphics design and photo editing. However, the only downside to IPS panels if that they can sometimes have a slower response time than TN panels. This is the only real problem if you’re a very competitive gamer or want to game in 3D. As of late “IPS” has become a big marketing word. Step into an Apple store and you would be hard pressed talking to someone that didn’t mention Apple’s “brand new IPS Displays!” In fact, Apple is probably one of the biggest marketers of this “new-found” technology. As a business person myself, this is when you have to tip your hat to Apple’s awesome marketing machine. Why? Well, because IPS is actually nothing new. In fact, this technology was originally invented in 1996 by Hitachi..panel (10-bit) with a 2560x1440 resolution, a 400Hz refresh rate (overclockable to 425Hz), and a 1ms GtG/0.3ms MPRT response time. The monitor supports G-SYNC and the company's Zero-Sense Sync Acceleration technology, which reduces signal lag between the graphics card and the display.
The manufacturer claims 100% sRGB and 97% P3 color gamut coverage, and is factory calibrated with a Delta E deviation of less than 2. The display's backlight brightness is 350 nits, and the contrast ratio is 1000:1. The monitor is VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified.
Gaming features include an on-screen crosshair that automatically changes color based on the background, a Sniper Window digital zoom, and a dark area brightening feature. A circular polarization system and a blue light filter are used to reduce eye strain.
The stand is height-adjustable by 130 mm and supports tilt, swivel, and portrait orientation. The rear panel features a 100 x 100 mm VESA mount. Connectivity includes one DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.1, and a 3.5 mm mini-jack. PIP and PBP modes are designed for displaying multiple sources simultaneously.
Philips 27M2N5500X went on sale in China at a price of $280.
