Phillips 27B2G5500

This is the latest powerful offering from Philips suitable for all uses. Marketed for workers as it has fast reactions as well as great colour and wonderful Blacks whose differential might well save your life for those playing games.

It is 61x36x2.5cm, it can be raised between 11cm and 17cm from your desk from the 20cm square stand. The sides and top are only about .5cm with the bottom being 2cm. There is no web cam on this unit.

The diagonal screen measurement is 68cm which is almost exactly 27 inches.

There are five rectangular control buttons mounted to the right edge of the base with a white LED beyond them that shines whenever power is going to the panel.

On the back 9.5cm up from the base is an overhang which has all the external connections. Feeling from right to left is the on/off for power, next is the three pin power input, next two HDMI then Display Port and finally two USB and the USB lead to your PC, all are just about accessible when the screen is fully back, there is also a fair amount of forward movement.

This unit is all about colour, brightness, speed and shades of black.

I always try to use the on screen controls to improve the controls manually and these days I always fail as the 'auto' selection in all forms of external light – or lack of it – cannot be beaten.

It has both 'Soft Blue' and 'Low Blue' modes as well as 'Flicker Free'.

The optimum resolution is 2560x1440 at 100 Hz, 16:9 aspect ratio.

The panel can be viewed at up to 178 degrees both horizontal and vertical.

It is suitable for use both as a 'business' and 'gaming' panel.

It can be purchased from the link below for £210.
