The perfect workspace starts here
The new Philips 221B8 Full HD monitor includes some of the most highly rated leading features, which are the key to a pleasant and productive workspace. Starting with the unique SmartImage technology, for example, which continuously analyzes the content played on the screen to optimize its performance.
Depending on the task at hand, the user can choose between different modes – Office, Photo, Movie, Game, and more – and leave it to Smart Image to adjust contrast, color saturation and sharpness to provide the best image of the application in use. Also, an economy mode is available, which is specially designed to reduce energy consumption while ensuring the correct exposure for everyday office applications.
The 21.5″ TFT-LCD display also includes Flicker-Free and W-LED backlighting to regulate brightness and reduce eye fatigue, while for more natural and realistic images SmartContrast technology automatically adjusts colors and controls backlight intensity, improving contrast for more vibrant, darker tones in videos, games, photos, and pictures. And for long-term eye care, Philips LowBlue mode also reduces the short-wave blue light rays produced by LED displays, preventing potential eye damage over time.
The ergonomically focused 221B8 would not be complete without crucial features such as the EasyRead paper reading experience and the flexibility provided by the SmartErgoBase, a unique monitor base that makes it easy to adjust the height, tilt, turn and rotation of the screen to suit any individual preference and needs.
