Philips Adds Two New E Series Monitors with Brilliant Color
Philips announces the addition of two new high-performance monitors to its E Series Collection. The Philips 32" QHD LCD Display (326E8FJSB) with Quad HD 2560 x 1440 pixels and the Philips 27" 4K UHD Display (276E8VJSB) with 3840 x 2160 resolution join the family of professional monitors for an affordable price.
Ideal for home entertainment, the new Philips 32'' QHD LCD Display features AMD FreeSync technology with a smooth quick refresh at 60Hz and an ultra-fast response time of 5ms, which is perfect for Console or PC gaming. Plus, the new SmartImage Game mode offers multiple options for gamers, including FPS, Racing and RTS Modes. FPS Mode improves dark themes in games, allowing users to see hidden objects in dark areas. Racing Mode adapts the display with the fastest response time, high color and image adjustments. RTS Mode has a unique SmartFrame feature which enables specific areas to be highlighted and allows for size and image adjustments. Users can save their personal customized settings depending on the game, allowing for quick access and ensuring the best performance.
The new Philips 27'' 4K UHD LCD monitor delivers superb picture quality in an elegant slim design, ideal for the home or office. Whether you're a professional requiring extremely detailed images using 3D graphics or working across large financial spreadsheets, this new display will make the images vibrant and the graphics pop. The IPS LED Wide-View Technology delivers remarkably crisp images, vivid colors and consistent brightness at any angle, making it perfect for watching movies, browsing the web or using professional applications. The UltraNarrow Border allows for maximum viewing size, which is especially suited for multi-display or tiling set-up used in gaming, graphic design or other professional applications.
The MultiView technology allows you to enable active dual connect and view at the same time, making multi-tasking a breeze. Now, watching the game, working on your blog and listening to a podcast simultaneously is easy at home or the office.
Featuring 10-bit displays with 1.074 billion colors and 12-bit internal processing, both displays deliver rich color and depth without gradations or color banding. Philips also added exclusive features, including its LowBlue mode and Flicker-Free technology. Studies have shown that just as ultra-violet rays can cause eye damage and affect vision over time. Philips LowBlue Mode uses a smart software technology to reduce harmful blue light. Due to how brightness is controlled on LED screens, many users experience flicker on their screen which causes eye fatigue. Philips Flicker-Free technology regulates brightness and reduces flicker for a more comfortable viewing experience.
All Philips models sold in the U.S. come with an industry-leading 4-year advance replacement warranty. Units sold in Canada are covered by a 4-year warranty with the exception of the advance replacement portion.
Both displays are now available at Amazon and NewEgg for $279.99 MSRP each.

Maybe as a second or third monitor, but gaming on that, I'll pass.

I think they got that back asswards. Shouldn't it be 1440P 27" and 4K for the 32"? :p

Maybe I'm old but what's wrong with a 4k 60hz monitor? Current hardware can barely handle it.
I will never buy another 60Hz display again. I suppose older folks wouldn't mind, though.

I don't know about what you use your PC for, but my first love is first-person shooters. Ever since Quake got support for OpenGL it's been all about the frames, often at the expense of image quality. So that's my first reason. The other one is, I've been really into high frame rate videos since it became a thing. Both of these undertakings demand a higher frame rate and therefore a higher refresh rate. You might pooh-pooh this, thinking that 60 fps/Hz is plenty, but when there is lateral camera movement it becomes quite obvious that it could be smoother and more frames are required. Improving frame rates and refresh rates is key to smoother lateral motion in games and movies. Once you get accustomed to this, it can be irritating to go back to watching video at lower fps. At this point I don't really even care for 24fps video. I always try to use frame interpolation to jack it up. I can't wait to be able to afford all the hardware to get to 144Hz! But that's still a little out of my reach, as a decent monitor is out of my price range at the moment, and I'm still using a GTX 1070. I have to wait another couple o' generations to justify an upgrade at the prices they want these days.
Not to get off topic, by the way, but I'm a little creeped out at all of the new cameras that can do hundreds of thousands of frames per second, because of course they will be hooked up to big AI and then we'll all be scrutinized to a level of precision far beyond mere human perceptive capacity. Who knows what actions they might justify with that sort of data?
