PHILIPS22 inch Class Thin Full HD (1920 x 1080) Monitor, 100Hz Refresh Rate, VESA, HDMI x1, VGA x1, LowBlue Mode, Adaptive Sync, 4 Year Advance Replacement Warranty, 221V8LB

Many devices, cars, and things that exist today are atrociously ugly. I purchased the Philips monitor, 24E2N1100B 24" monitor with 100hz IPS screen, because it looks like it was made in 2006, back when looked amazing. There are visible labels for the buttons, and the buttons are actually accessible on the bottom of the outside edge (not behind the monitor and hidden). Hiding buttons (see Acer) is foolish, because function is ultimately always more important than form when using technology.You can use the buttons EASILY on this Philips 24" monitor. I am so relieved to have actual buttons that have a heavy tactile feel to them. In a world of weird touch screen devices, buttons are almost unheard of, especially buttons with a heavy solid feel.The Philips logo is clean, very clean. Not stupid, like the ViewSonic monitor which has 3 birds on it. I was going to buy a ViewSonic, but the larger monitors like the 27" have 3 birds on the front as their logo, and it just looks ridiculous. Do people really want 3 little parrots on their computer monitor? No.The Philips logo is one of the major selling points on this monitor. I installed 2 monitors as a pair, on a stand, and the monitors just look stunningly beautiful. But they also look clean, and precise. They don't have ridiculous stupid oversize logos like the Sansui monitor or Sceptre monitor, which would be fine if they didn't have such ENORMOUS logos that are distracting and bright chrome.The "Low Blue Light" mode is very easy, you just push the menu button, and select it. Then the monitor goes into Low Blue Light mode.I am using an adapter on my PC, to adapt the HDMI cable input on the 2nd monitor, to a DVI output on my old video card. I don't have any HDMI outputs on my computer. I have a VGA and a DVI only. So what I did is buy a $10 converter plug that plugs into the DVI port, and it creates a pseudo HDMI port on the back of the computer.The DVI to HDMI adapter plug works perfectly, there is no loss of quality or contrast and no problems with the frequency.The VGA input on this monitor works fine, but for some reason my computer doesn't recognize the monitor that is connected to the VGA port. It shows up as a "Generic" monitor.The sharpness and color of this monitor is really, really artful and pretty. The colors are SUPER powerful and it pops. It's twice as bright and twice as intense as my old 2009 era monitors that I was using previously. I am shocked to see such a dramatic difference.Conclusion: These Philips monitors have the best (very neutral and plain, but somehow also very bright and intense) color saturation and overall "feel" to the onscreen images and videos. I've honestly never seen any monitor that was so beautiful to look at. A normal image of a forest is like somehow more beautiful on this monitor. But the saturation is just right, not over saturated. The colors are very neutral. I think photographers and artists would like this monitor, and video editors.Cons: The Philips monitor has only one major con. The viewing angle vertically, when standing up at your desk, is terrible. There is a sharp glare that you can see as you begin to stand up when looking straight ahead at the monitor. Once you're about 1 foot higher than the monitor, it begins to have pretty serious viewing problems; not due to a loss of color or sharpness, but due to a weird moire-like glare that is a diffuse pattern of cloudy shading that covers the middle of the monitor (typical at extreme viewing angles on flat screen monitors).The horizontal, side to side viewing angle is slightly better than the really old flat screen monitors from 2009-2012 era, but not much better. But the side to side viewing angle is good enough for multiple people to be seated at a desk and watching movies on the monitor. But if you're someone who stands up, and you need a good vertical viewing angle, when looking downward at your monitor, then this monitor is just not acceptable.Conclusion: I ended up returning the 2 Philips 24" monitors I bought, and had to purchase an MSI MSI PRO MP251 E2 24.5-inch IPS 1920 x 1080 monitor instead. To my delight, the MSI monitor has no glare and has no moire or weird diffuse glow on the screen when viewing it from above or below or side to side. I will say, the Philips monitor had a slightly more warm and inviting feel to the colors and the sharpness. You get a better picture with the Philips, but significant glare, typical of glossy screens. The MSI has a semi-glossy screen, but has an anti-glare filter on it.The MSI also has a proper full length DC power cord, on the power adapter. On the Philips monitor, the DC portion of the power cord isn't long enough, so the power adapter cannot sit on the ground, behind your desk, because the cord is only about 29" long.

I just started a work-from-home job and needed an extra monitor ASAP—this one arrived within 24 hours and it’s perfect! It’s not too big or too small, just the right size for my space. It even came with an HDMI cord, which made setup super easy—I plugged it into my laptop and had everything up and running in under 5 minutes.The image quality is great, and I love that it’s simple and efficient. The only downside is that the height isn’t adjustable, so if you want to stack it above your laptop for Zoom calls, you’ll need to place it on a riser or box. But other than that, it works exactly as I hoped and checks all my boxes!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought this to be able to WFH. My 5 stars is based on initial set up out of the box, crisp clear picture on monitor, and only 2 weeks of use. The size is huge - edge to edge, no wasted space in the bezel- so it has to be placed at a distance for viewing, especially if you wear progressive lenses. Its is very light weight, and it feels like it will not break.

It is a good monitor and has really nice clarity. But there were a couple issues. It only had the monitor, the stand and then the power cable and also the cable which connects the monitor to your computer but it was a USB cable. My computer only has VGA connection. And so I kept trying to connect this cable which wouldn't fit in the slot. Finally after looking at the one little diagram they give you they do show you a bunch of various cables and listed was VGA. So luckily I was able to use the cable on my previous monitor and then I got it connected. So there was that which was lacking, to not include the cables that you might need. The second thing is the controls on the front bottom of the monitor. I cannot figure out how to change anything. For example like the brightness it goes up up up If you keep pressing the little tiny button, but I can't find anything or any way to make it go down so that is a complete and utter failure. No diagram at all telling you what to do or how to work them. A manual comes with this computer which I can't make heads or tails out of. It has nothing in there that even looks like a monitor it looks like something that looks like a remote or double remote which I didn't get any kind of remote so that's confusing. I don't know what it's for, it's like in six different languages BTW. But for right now my monitor looks good, it's working well and so that was my major concern.

I must give this product five stars because it has performed well in everything it read it would do. However, I must give myself only a single star because I didn’t make sure this monitor included all that I needed it to include…speakers most regrettably. As I use this in my bathroom to continue my studies in various subjects via Roku, now, I am always scrambling to creatively connect devices just to get the audio. Sadly, the monitor does not have USB ports but only a pin jack for direct audio success. And the only device in my home with such a pin connector is an old digital alarm clock with radio and speaker—a mandatory, but “sore thumb” of an addition to my recent beautiful bathroom renovation.

So far, so good! We use it in our camper, mainly for my son's Playstation. We have only been using it for a few days, so if anything changes, I will update the review.Size is perfect for our camper.Color is good.Seems to be "durable". It is an electronic. They aren't exactly made to be durable lol

Had my local computer technician unboxed and set up the monitor along with my new computer. He was very surprised at the quality of the monitor given its sub $100 price tag. I've only used the monitor for about an hour in total...and it is every bit as sharp as my more expensive monitor on another system that I have.
