FULL STORY
======================================================================

Philips is one of the most respected names in the desktop monitor market, and 
the company has announced a new range of high-quality 4K monitors for 
working. 

Although the Philips 27E1N1800A, 27E1N1800AE, 27E1N1900AE, and 32E1N1800LA 
are perhaps not the most memorable of names, all of the new monitors come in 
27-inch or 32-inch sizes and feature 4K UHD resolutions. 

The differences between each, besides the overall sizes, are fairly small, 
and all of them come with IPS to deliver a crisp experience, while the 
high-end 32E1N1800LA model comes with VA. All clear 

On top of that, Philips says it has included UltraClear 4K UHD resolution to 
ensure photos, CAD images, 3D graphics, and more mundane affairs, like 
spreadsheets and Word documents, look as they should. 

There is also a SmartContrast feature to automatically tweak colors and 
brightness for heightened contrast, which is especially useful for video and 
image work. 

Within the 27-inch versions, one of the models  the 27E1N1900AE  comes with 
USB-C built in, while the others all have HDMI and DisplayPort access. If 
having USB-C matters, you mind might have just been made up for you. 

The company acknowledges that staring at an LED display, even an IPS LED 
display, can lead to eye fatigue over long periods, and includes both its 
flicker-free tech, to regulate brightness and flickering, and LowBlue mode, 
which uses software to reduce shortwave blue light. 

Anyone concerned about power usage, which is understandable given rising 
utility prices, will be pleased to hear that Philips included a range of 
energy saving features like a low-power mode, as well as low-energy 
certifications including RoHS. The packaging is also 100% recyclable. Easy on

All of these features are great for your eyes after a long day of work, but 
what about the cost of the monitors? 

It's not secret that the desktop monitor market, boosted by the pandemic-era 
work-from-home setups, is incredibly competitive, with seemingly new entries 
everyday from big brands and small brands alike. 

Philips has cleverly pitched these monitors at the lower end of the price 
range, while keeping many must-have features. Available in July, the 
27E1N1800A, 27E1N1800AE, 27E1N1900AE, and 32E1N1800LA cost 249, 259, 319, and 
300, respectively. 

In our extensive testing of the best monitors , Philips' models sit at the 
lower end of the range and compete well with the likes of the Monoprice 
32-inch CrystalPro . It's possible to go lower, like the Asus VP228HE at just 
99, but we found that budget monitors can compromise on features. MORE FROM
