Philips 221V8LB 22 inch Class Thin Full HD (1920 x 1080) Monitor, 100Hz Refresh Rate, VESA, HDMI x1, VGA x1, LowBlue Mode, Adaptive Sync, 4 Year Advance Replacement Warranty

Many devices, cars, and things that exist today are atrociously ugly. I purchased the Philips monitor, 24E2N1100B 24" monitor with 100hz IPS screen, because it looks like it was made in 2006, back when looked amazing. There are visible labels for the buttons, and the buttons are actually accessible on the bottom of the outside edge (not behind the monitor and hidden). Hiding buttons (see Acer) is foolish, because function is ultimately always more important than form when using technology.You can use the buttons EASILY on this Philips 24" monitor. I am so relieved to have actual buttons that have a heavy tactile feel to them. In a world of weird touch screen devices, buttons are almost unheard of, especially buttons with a heavy solid feel.The Philips logo is clean, very clean. Not stupid, like the ViewSonic monitor which has 3 birds on it. I was going to buy a ViewSonic, but the larger monitors like the 27" have 3 birds on the front as their logo, and it just looks ridiculous. Do people really want 3 little parrots on their computer monitor? No.The Philips logo is one of the major selling points on this monitor. I installed 2 monitors as a pair, on a stand, and the monitors just look stunningly beautiful. But they also look clean, and precise. They don't have ridiculous stupid oversize logos like the Sansui monitor or Sceptre monitor, which would be fine if they didn't have such ENORMOUS logos that are distracting and bright chrome.The "Low Blue Light" mode is very easy, you just push the menu button, and select it. Then the monitor goes into Low Blue Light mode.I am using an adapter on my PC, to adapt the HDMI cable input on the 2nd monitor, to a DVI output on my old video card. I don't have any HDMI outputs on my computer. I have a VGA and a DVI only. So what I did is buy a $10 converter plug that plugs into the DVI port, and it creates a pseudo HDMI port on the back of the computer.The DVI to HDMI adapter plug works perfectly, there is no loss of quality or contrast and no problems with the frequency.The VGA input on this monitor works fine, but for some reason my computer doesn't recognize the monitor that is connected to the VGA port. It shows up as a "Generic" monitor.The sharpness and color of this monitor is really, really artful and pretty. The colors are SUPER powerful and it pops. It's twice as bright and twice as intense as my old 2009 era monitors that I was using previously. I am shocked to see such a dramatic difference.Conclusion: These Philips monitors have the best (very neutral and plain, but somehow also very bright and intense) color saturation and overall "feel" to the onscreen images and videos. I've honestly never seen any monitor that was so beautiful to look at. A normal image of a forest is like somehow more beautiful on this monitor. But the saturation is just right, not over saturated. The colors are very neutral. I think photographers and artists would like this monitor, and video editors.Cons: The Philips monitor has only one major con. The viewing angle vertically, when standing up at your desk, is terrible. There is a sharp glare that you can see as you begin to stand up when looking straight ahead at the monitor. Once you're about 1 foot higher than the monitor, it begins to have pretty serious viewing problems; not due to a loss of color or sharpness, but due to a weird moire-like glare that is a diffuse pattern of cloudy shading that covers the middle of the monitor (typical at extreme viewing angles on flat screen monitors).The horizontal, side to side viewing angle is slightly better than the really old flat screen monitors from 2009-2012 era, but not much better. But the side to side viewing angle is good enough for multiple people to be seated at a desk and watching movies on the monitor. But if you're someone who stands up, and you need a good vertical viewing angle, when looking downward at your monitor, then this monitor is just not acceptable.Conclusion: I ended up returning the 2 Philips 24" monitors I bought, and had to purchase an MSI MSI PRO MP251 E2 24.5-inch IPS 1920 x 1080 monitor instead. To my delight, the MSI monitor has no glare and has no moire or weird diffuse glow on the screen when viewing it from above or below or side to side. I will say, the Philips monitor had a slightly more warm and inviting feel to the colors and the sharpness. You get a better picture with the Philips, but significant glare, typical of glossy screens. The MSI has a semi-glossy screen, but has an anti-glare filter on it.The MSI also has a proper full length DC power cord, on the power adapter. On the Philips monitor, the DC portion of the power cord isn't long enough, so the power adapter cannot sit on the ground, behind your desk, because the cord is only about 29" long.

This monitor has a great screen with alot of smart features that can adapt to what you use. The UI menu is easy to use and navigate through. I like that it's not thin and it has an decent size bulk behind compared to other monitors which makes it feel less fragile. Even the stand itself is sturdy. However, the power cord itself is very short which means everything has to be very close to each other. Overall, its a great purchase.

Ya había comprado esta misma pantalla hace un año y medio y me dio tan buen resultado que decidí comprar una segunda. La calidad de imagen es excelente, los gráficos se ven muy nítidos y la función nocturna es un detalle que realmente se aprecia. Muy satisfecha con la compra.

I’ve been using this Philips 22" Full HD monitor for a few weeks now and overall I’m impressed. It has a sleek, nearly bezel‑free design and supports VESA mounting—ideal for a multi‑monitor setup or tidy desk layout .What I LOVE:Crisp Full HD (1920×1080) resolution on a 21.5″ VA panel delivers excellent clarity and contrast—deep blacks and vivid whites really stand out .100 Hz refresh rate & Adaptive‑Sync (FreeSync) make basic gaming and video playback noticeably smoother at a budget price .Eye‑friendly features like LowBlue Mode and flicker‑free tech reduce eye strain during long writing or screen time sessions .Excellent value—Tom’s Hardware praised it for class‑leading contrast and surprisingly accurate color for just ~$70‑80 .What COULD BE BETTER:The stand has no height adjustment, only tilt, so ergonomics might be limited unless you use a monitor arm .No built‑in speakers or USB ports, so you’ll need external audio or hubs for full connectivity.The color gamut is decent but not ideal for color‑critical work—photo or video professionals may want something with wider gamut and calibration support .At 22″, the screen is compact—fine for desktop use, but it may feel small if you’re used to larger displays or want more screen real estate .In Use:I use it for office productivity, streaming, and light gaming via HDMI—no lag, screen tearing or stutter. Color shifts at wide angles are minimal. After a day of work I notice less eye fatigue with LowBlue and EasyRead modes enabled.Final Verdict:This Philips monitor strikes a smart balance of price, image quality, and performance. If you need a secondary display or value smooth visuals and eye care features, it’s a solid pick. Just be prepared to add accessories if you want adjustability or audio built in.4 out of 5 stars—it’s a great budget pick with a few minor trade‑offs.

Great inexpensive monitor for home. Understand this monitor does NOT have internal speakers, even though Windows 11 may identify it as having them. Drove me crazy for a bit until I got it all sorted out. I do like the monitor at the price point, it is clear, Win 11 recognizes it and I’m happy with the purchase.

Good quality monitor that is affordable. I needed mine as a second monitor with an HDMI connection. It does the job well, no problem so far. The only drawback is that the screen does not flex up and down at all due to the stationary base. Which can make the view an angle, a little weird but it’s a minor detail. If this is not a problem for you, then I would recommend.

I needed an extra monitor to help manage my WFH job during busy season and it worked out wonderfully! I am not a huge "techy" person and it was incredibly easy to set up! You simply set up the stand into the monitor, plug in the two wires/plug-ins and *voila*, it works! The clear screen makes everything easy to read and it is wider than my normal laptop screen, so I can view more all at once.

I bought this to replace an hp monitor. This one was much cheaper, easy to install, and works great. Well worth the money.
