Philips Monitors transform hybrid workspaces
n today’s dynamic working environment, the concept of hybrid working has become more prevalent than ever before in the UK. This shift necessitates a broad spectrum of IT hardware
tailored to support this flexibility. Key among these tools are advanced monitors, pivotal for delivering not just exceptional visual quality but also essential connectivity features that enhance productivity and streamline the workflow. Philips Monitors has responded to this need by introducing a
range of monitors designed to cater to various aspects of hybrid working, emphasising ease of connectivity, ergonomic design, and high-quality display technology.
Entry-level USB-C monitors for seamless connectivity with mobile computing Starting with the basics, the sleek 24E1N1300AE and 27E1N1300AE models are both equipped with a USB-C port with up to 65 W Power Delivery. This feature simplifies the workspace by allowing a single cable to charge a laptop, while transferring data and sharing the display to the monitor. Both these monitors boast Full HD resolution, colour-accurate IPS panels with wide viewing angles and a refresh rate of 100 Hz for smooth visuals, whether in fast-moving 3D or video scenes or while scrolling through documents, spreadsheets or web content. With a sleek, 3-sides borderless panel design and a square-shaped sturdy stand, they provide a clutter-free clean desk environment thanks to a handy cable management clip, and they also support ergonomic height adjustments to ensure comfort during long working hours.
Webcams with face-recognition and daisy- chaining multi-monitors For those requiring more from their monitors, Philips monitors such as the 24B1U5301H and 27B1U5601H are stepping up from the aforementioned models with additional features such as an Ethernet (RJ-45) port, a DisplayPort output and a KVM switch to enhance the feature set. Two USB-C ports (one upstream with 100 W Power Delivery and one downstream with 15 W Power Delivery) and the KVM switch enable users to control multiple devices with a single keyboard and mouse, making them perfect to manage a hybrid working setup with a work laptop and a workstation in the office. Whilst the RJ45 port (Gigabit Ethernet) allows easy access to the local network and all connected peripherals like printers.

at different times, the built-in 5 MP webcam of these models with Windows Hello facial recognition lets users log-in securely and with ease. As hybrid working utilises online meetings and video calls more than usual due to its focus on working from anywhere, the hi-res webcam and noise-cancelling microphones facilitate clear audio-visual communication with peers away from the office. Being equipped with a DisplayPort output in the monitor, a second monitor can be directly connected to these models, enabling a clutter-free dual monitor setup. With a focus on enhancing productivity, these monitors are not only about image quality but also about creating an efficient interconnected hybrid workspace.
Ultrawide monitors for ultimate productivity At the top end of the spectrum, Philips offers ultrawide monitors like the 40B1U5601H or the 40B1U6903CH. With a 21:9 aspect ratio and IPS panels, these models are designed for professionals who require extensive screen real estate to manage complex tasks simultaneously. The 40B1U6903CH features an even higher resolution (5K2K) at 5120x2160 for extra sharp details. Features such as a Gigabit Ethernet port for secure network connection to connected devices, a KVM switch, DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 4 outputs for daisy-chaining multiple monitors and ergonomic, height-adjustable designs ensure that users can enjoy a seamless, highly productive working environment. With the built-in 5 MP webcam with Windows Hello support, both are fit for video calls from the get-go. The 40B1U5601H features two USB-C ports (one upstream port
with 100 W Power Delivery and one downstream with 15 W) to connect two devices simultaneously and switch between them using the integrated KVM switch, while the DisplayPort output allows daisy-chaining a second monitor in a horizontal orientation to expand the real estate even more. The 40B1U6903CH particularly lends itself to users in the Apple ecosystem, thanks to its two Thunderbolt 4 ports (one upstream port with 90 W Power Delivery and one downstream with 15 W), as well as a USB-C port with 40 W Power Delivery. Philips Monitors has curated a range of displays that cater to the
varied needs of today’s hybrid workforce, combining technology with design to enhance productivity and connectivity. With options ranging from straightforward, clean designs to feature-rich, high- performance models, Philips Monitors are poised to be key players in supporting the hybrid work revolution.
