Philips Brings Quantum Dot Monitors to Europe

The Philips 27" Full HD monitor (276E6ADS) delivers 99% Adobe RGB color thanks to Color IQ technology from QD Vision.

"Quantum dot technology is changing the way monitor users think about color, and the new 27" E Line monitor is the first on the market to showcase this new technology," said Stefan Sommer, Director Marketing & Business Management EMEA at MMD. "QD Vision is helping us create a monitor with 99% Adobe RGB color at a very aggressive price point, making it accessible to everyone who uses a monitor."

Even at the highest price points, most of today's monitors are only capable of displaying less than 95% of the Adobe RGB standard, with mainstream models typically only capable of presenting roughly 70% of the Adobe spectrum. Using QD Vision's Color IQ solution, we can now produce monitors that deliver the full Adobe RGB standard (>99%), but at much lower overall costs.

The new E line monitor with Color IQ is ideal for entertainment and gaming, as well as professional photography and design. The 276E6ADS combines Color IQ optics with full HD resolution, resulting in a professional-quality display at the price of mainstream desktop monitors.

"The superior color of our edge-lit quantum dots and our strong price-performance characteristics make them an ideal catalyst for positive disruption in the global monitor industry," said Matt Mazzuchi, Vice President, Market and Business Development at QD Vision. "Our close collaboration with Philips monitors brought this full gamut color monitor to European consumers."

The new E6 quantum dot monitor will be available in October 2015 in Europe

plasmas have a couple of disadvantages vs led for the past 3-4y now.
most lcds have a wider color gamut, have basically no loss of color/contrast etc.at +170* viewing angle,
leds are way more efficient (never seen a plasma that had a "cold" screen like the led's), i tested a full array 55" UHD for a while as monitor:
100w on nearly 100% B/C/backlight and around 60w with normal settings (still to bright for me), which a plasma will not be able to do.

and with local dimming/full array are identical or better on contrast/black levels, what the best plasma can do (multiple times more expensive).

but for me the worst is the 60Hz limits on the panels (no, any higher number is only used in the software/chip, and NOT the real screen refresh rate), since i hate flickering screens.

i'm not saying throw it out, but when i see how good the led driven lcd's are, offering decent sizes at a good price (a 2015 sony uhd 55X85C is 1500$, vs the 2500$ i spend in 1998 for a 32" widescreen tube with 100Hz)...
and there is a reason why almost no tv maker is offering +70% with oled.
and its NOT the price. especially when you have people spending 10-30K on a large UHD from (sony/lg etc)..

Even tho this still is the usual defective LCD technology, just with a fancy 30 yearold - now recycled backlight....

...Very interested to see the response times and if it can do 144hz and so on.

OLED will still make any LCD look like garbage, but OLED monitors are still at least 5 years away, if we stop dreaming and get realistic.

There's an electronics store in Helsinki that has been selling OLED TV for the past year I think.

Too bad it's a TV and costs over 2000 euros. But man, the colours on it were magnificent along with the black levels.
