The new Philips 278E9 monitor is built with a 27-inch panel based on IPS technology, and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. This panel is capable of covering a very wide range of colors, which translates into a 93% color coverage of the NTSC spectrum. Its maximum brightness is 250 nits, so it does not support advanced HDR technology. Its ultra-thin bevel design makes it ideal for use in multi-monitor configurations.
The monitor also supports AMD’s FreeSync technology, although Philips has not specified the variable update rate (VRRR) range. The VRR range of the 278E9 is expected to be 50-75Hz, which would leave little room for the operation of this technology, although it is not a gaming-focused monitor. Philips 278E9 supports VGA, DisplayPort, and HDMI connectivity, allowing the display to be used by all modern PC and console users. It also has two 3-watt speakers to deliver stereo audio right out of the box.
Finally, the Philips 278E9 is compatible with the VESA 100×100 wall mount standard and includes a stand that supports tilt options for -5 to 20-degree orientations. The Philips 278E9 comes out in July for about $199, which is quite affordable for its features, what do you think of the Philips 278E9?
