Philips 240V5QDAB

Bought to replace my old LCD with fluorescent backlights with an energy efficient monitor of the same size. As a result, I have earned back the costs of this monitor via the energy bill within 3 years. Quiet, sharp, clear image with good colors. Good, even white and black, no noticeable backlight bleed. Screen switches back from sleep mode very quickly. Contrary to the specs here, the screen itself is not glossy but matte. Supplied with table stand, but the monitor hangs on the wall using a 100x100 VESA standard wall bracket. Unfortunately only an (analog) VGA cable included, but luckily I had extra HDMI and DVI cables to connect the monitor digitally. An audio cable is also included, but because my motherboard supports it, the audio can also be sent via the HDMI cable, so the audio cable was not necessary in my case. Audio through the built-in speakers is very disappointing: sound resembles an old transistor radio and the two so-called 'stereo' speakers are side by side on one side of the back of the monitor. Sufficient for system sounds and instructional videos, but certainly not for music or games... but okay, I'll grab my headphones for that, so no problem for me. Audio can also be set up 'stand-alone', so that the speakers stay on even if the monitor goes into sleep mode (but then they continue to use power, of course). Overall satisfied with my purchase. A good price/quality ratio for an energy-efficient IPS monitor.

Delivery: Good delivery in 2 boxes for optimal protection. Delivered on time 24 inches is perfect and better for your eyes if you need to focus your eyes on a smaller area. I play games on it such as FIFA & GTA-V and watch a lot of Netflix & YouTube. Everything is sharp and easy to see. PARTICULARLY THE COLORS ARE AMAZING AT THIS PRICE. The noise is less. With fifa it doesn't matter, but for netflix enzz you want good sound. Buy and solve boxes. It's a monitor, so you shouldn't expect good sound anyway. I got it for €119,- but €130,- is also very cheap - Nice colours - Good for gaming and movies - HDMI - FREE SOUND CABLE

Under a small viewing angle, the image is fine. Very little reflection. Under somewhat wider viewing angles you do see some discoloration, but so far I don't find it bothersome. The menu does what it's supposed to do, but doesn't work very smoothly. Overall, this screen works well but isn't the best screen I've ever seen. But since better screens are considerably more expensive, I still recommend this product. I am very satisfied with the price/quality ratio of these Philips screens.
