Philips 27E1N1300AE 27″ 100Hz Monitor Review

Philips make a lot of beautiful and high-end displays, such as their legendary Evnia series. However, not everyone needs something that extreme, or quite frankly, that expensive. With the new Philips 27E1N1300AE, you get a decent size panel at 27″, which features a Full HD resolution (1920×1080), and a good quality IPS LED panel that should give decent colour reproduction, 250 cd/m2 brightness, a 1300:1 contrast ratio, and best of all, a 100Hz refresh rate. Extreme gaming monitor? Hardly, but for working at home or in the office it’s got enough, and for a bit of gaming on an evening, it should be ideal for those who don’t want to spend a lot of money, as this monitor costs just £159.99 on Amazon right now.

Features

• 100 Hz refresh rates for ultra-smooth images – This Philips display refreshes the screen image up to 100 times per second which makes this monitor much faster than a standard display. With a 100 Hz frame rate, gamers are able to find those critical images on the screen that show enemy movement in an ultra-smooth motion so that they are easily targetable.
• 1 ms (MPRT) fast response for crisp images and smooth gameplay – MPRT (motion picture response time) is a more intuitive way to describe response time, which directly refers to the duration between seeing blurry noise and clean, crisp images. The Philips gaming monitor with 1 ms MPRT effectively eliminates smearing and motion blur and delivers sharper and more precise visuals to enhance your gaming experience. The best choice for playing thrilling and twitch-sensitive games.
• Connect your notebook with one USB-C cable – This Philips display features a USB type-C connector with power delivery. With intelligent and flexible power management, you can power charge your compatible device directly. Its slim, reversible USB-C allows for easy, one-cable connection. You can watch high-resolution video and transfer data at super speed, while powering up and recharging your compatible device at the same time.
• IPS LED wide view technology for image and colour accuracy – IPS displays use an advanced technology that gives you extra-wide viewing angles of 178/178 degrees, making it possible to view the display from almost any angle. Unlike standard TN panels, IPS displays give you remarkably crisp images with vivid colours, making them ideal not only for Photos, movies and web browsing, but also for professional applications that demand colour accuracy and consistent brightness at all times.
• 16:9 Full HD display for crisp, detailed images – Picture quality matters. Regular displays deliver quality, but you expect more. This display features enhanced Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution. With Full HD for crisp detail paired with high brightness, incredible contrast and realistic colours, expect a true-to-life picture.
