144Hz refresh rate for tear-free, ultra-smooth gaming

This Philips display redraws the screen image up to 144 times per second, effectively 2.4x faster than a standard display. While lower frame rates can make enemies appear to jump from spot to spot on the screen, making them difficult targets to hit, a 144Hz frame rate will make their motion appear smooth, so you can more easily target them. With ultra-low input lag and no screen tearing, this Philips display is an amazing gaming partner.

1ms (MPRT) fast response for precise visuals to enhance gaming experience

Response time is the time it takes a screen pixel to change from one color to another. The Philips 242E1GSJ gaming monitor with 1 ms MPRT effectively eliminates smearing and motion blur, delivering shaper and precise visuals to enhance gaming experience. It’s your best choice for playing twitch-sensitive games.

AMD FreeSync Premium; tear free, stutter free, fluid gaming

Gaming shouldn't be a choice between choppy gameplay or broken frames. AMD FreeSync Premium equips serious gamers with a fluid, tear-free gameplay experience at peak performance. There are no compromises, game confidently with a high refresh rate, low framerate compensation, and low latency.

SmartImage game mode optimized for gamers

The new Philips gaming display has quick access OSD fine tuned for gamers, offering you multiple options. "FPS" mode (First person shooting) improves dark themes in games, allowing you to see hidden objects in dark areas. "Racing" mode adapts display with fastest response time, high color, along with image adjustments. "RTS" mode (Real time strategy) has a special SmartFrame mode which enables highlighting of specific area and allows for size and image adjustments. Gamer 1 and Gamer 2 enable you to save personal customized settings based on different games, ensuring best performance.

SmartContrast for rich black details

SmartContrast is a Philips technology that analyzes the contents you are displaying, automatically adjusting colors and controlling backlight intensity to dynamically enhance contrast for the best digital images and videos or when playing games where dark hues are displayed. When Economy mode is selected, contrast is adjusted and backlighting fine-tuned for just-right display of everyday office applications and lower power consumption.

Ultra Wide-Color wider range of colors for a vivid picture

Ultra Wide-Color Technology delivers a wider spectrum of colors for a more brilliant picture. Ultra Wide-Color wider "color gamut" (96.1% NTSC/125.9% sRGB) produces more natural-looking greens, vivid reds and deeper blues. Bring, media entertainment, images, and even productivity more alive and vivid colors from Ultra Wide-Color Technology.

VA display delivers awesome images with wide viewing angles

Philips VA LED display uses an advanced multi-domain vertical alignment technology which gives 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, movies, gaming, and demanding graphical applications. Its optimized pixel management technology gives you 178/178 degree extra wide viewing angle, resulting in crisp images.

LowBlue Mode for easy on-the-eyes productivity

Studies have shown that just as ultra-violet rays can cause eye damage, shortwave length blue light rays from LED displays can cause eye damage and affect vision over time. Developed for wellbeing, Philips LowBlue Mode setting uses a smart software technology to reduce harmful shortwave blue light.

Less eye fatigue with Flicker-free technology

Due to the way brightness is controlled on LED-backlit screens, some users experience flicker on their screen which causes eye fatigue. Philips Flicker-free technology applies a new solution to regulate brightness and reduce flicker for more comfortable viewing.

For a sub $200 monitor its decent. [24 Inch Full HD @ 144Hz][E10 Line | Flat]
Decent monitors for the price ($139.99 USD), I got 3. One monitor had a few dead pixels, but its not super noticeable unless displaying full black. Each monitor has a built in sound output but no built in speakers. Gets kind of annoying if you already have a few external DACs and recording hardware because it just makes the list that much longer and in my case they're all named the same thing. Vesa mount is a bit flimsy and under supported, like seriously don't try to adjust it once you tighten the vesa mount or you will be greeted with a concerning amount of plastic popping. Though it is technically bezel less the screen has a black border the whole way around the screen approximately 4mm or 0.16" in width so don't expect a seamless multi-monitor setup. This is a sub $200 monitor, for what you get it's decent.Overall picture quality is good and it delivers on the 144hz promise (but only if you use the displayport), black is acceptably dark for a backlit LCD, not HDR compatible.

Me parece un buen monitor con buenos materiales y una buena calidad de imagen,se dice que tiene ghosting y me parece que lo tiene pero tienes que poner mucha atención para notarlo,asi que si quieres algo mas para competir quiza sea mejor otra opcion con un panel TN,pero si eres alguien casual y solo quieres disfrutar de la fuidez que te dan los 144hz este es muy bueno,tiene colores muy vivos,buenos angulos de vision y buen brillo ademas de que el modo de azul bajo es util para no cansar la vista.Yo ya tengo 3 meses con el y lo recomiendo.
