Philips 248E9QHSB 24 "
 | Outdated Product Frameless with a "bent" screen with a radius of curvature of 1500R to enhance the effect of immersing users in what is happening. The monitor matrix is made using VA technology and displays a picture at a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. It has a wide range of contrast and hue depth, and boasts 121 percent coverage of the sRGB colour space triangle, making the Philips 248E9QHSB suitable for graphics work. The monitor's VA panel response time is 4ms (Grey to Grey) and the frame rate is 75Hz. The frame rate of the device is coordinated with that at the output of the video adapter using proprietary AMD FreeSync technology (to avoid image tearing). To connect the model to a laptop or computer, VGA (analogue) and HDMI version 1.4 ports are used. Standing on a stand, the monitor display "...nods its head" in the range from -5 to 20 °. The wall-mounted method of mounting the device implies close interaction with a VESA bracket of a common size 100x100 mm. |

Inexpensive curved monitor without flaws
In 2018, Phillips updated its monitor lineup with some inexpensive yet highly interesting monitors. The hero of today's review, Philips 248E9QHSB combines a stylish appearance, decent functionality and an excellent matrix by the standards of inexpensive monitors. It is based on a curved 24" VA panel with a 1500mm radius of curvature, Full HD resolution (1920x1080), excellent static contrast ratio (3000:1), good response time (4ms) and standard brightness (250cd/m2). Viewing angles are at the usual level for this type of panels (178°). We did not notice any flashes or uneven backlighting in the test samples.
Suitable for gaming and graphics
The most interesting thing here is the combination of a curved display and excellent colour reproduction, which are not often found in the sub-$150 segment. The monitor is capable of displaying up to 121% of the sRGB colour space, providing a truly bright, colorful and juicy picture in movies and games. What does all this tell us? That, firstly, it can be used for basic photo processing, coloring, etc. Secondly, it handles quite well with the role of a gaming monitor. The matrix speed is an adequate 4 ms, the refresh rate of 75 Hz should be enough for undemanding gamers (everyone else only 144 Hz), and AMD FreeSync support will not allow dynamic frames to be torn apart.
Graceful appearance
To be honest, it’s unusual for us to praise an inexpensive monitor like that, but, as they say, you can’t erase words from a song. It looks cool and modern: the bezels on the sides and top are barely noticeable, and the thick bottom edge gives the design solidity. A graceful metal leg only emphasizes the image, giving it completeness. An analogue VGA port and HDMI version 1.4 are used to connect to a signal source. There is a standard VESA mount for wall mounting. What more do you want for this money?
