Philips releases elegant 'Crystalclear' 32-inch Quad HD display (BDM3270QP2)
Buying a computer display nowadays is both easy and hard. It is easy as it is difficult to go wrong, but it is also hard as there are so many good choices. Ultimately, your budget and needs will guide you to the best option.
Today, Philips releases the all-new 'Crystalclear' 32-inch Quad HD display (model number BDM3270QP2). Not only does the beautiful monitor have a respectable resolution (2560x1440), but it is chock-full of features and connection options too.
"The display features a Philips AMVA LED panel that uses an advanced multi-domain vertical alignment technology to give you super-high static contrast ratios for extra vivid and bright images. While standard office applications are handled with ease, it is especially suitable for photos, web-browsing, films, gaming and demanding graphical applications. Its optimized pixel management technology gives you 178/178 degree extra wide viewing angle, resulting in crisp images even in 90-degree pivot mode. The 10-bit display delivers rich color depth with 1.074 billion colors and 12-bit internal processing for recreating smooth, natural colors without gradations and color banding", says Philips.
The company also says, "users who spend lots of time in front of the screen will enjoy features designed to create a healthier workplace, such as the Philips Flicker-Free technology, which regulates brightens, a SmartErgoBase for ergonomic adjustments, and a low bezel-to-table height for maximum reading comfort. The display comes with built-in stereo speakers for multimedia along with a plethora of connectivity options such as VGA, Display Port and HDMI connector, enabling you to enjoy high resolution uncompressed video and audio content. USB 3.0 delivers super speedy data transfers with a 5.0 gbit/s transfer rate to save you time and allow you to use large capacity storage devices. Finally, an integrated MHL port allows users to connect compatible phones and tablets directly to the monitor to mirror content to the widescreen display while charging the mobile device at the same time".
