Introduction
The idea to write such a material was born after I myself faced the problem of choosing a monitor for work. I have to sit at the computer for a long time. I work a lot with text, photos and video, so the monitor is very important to me. At one point, I realized that looking at 7-8 hours in a tiny screen of a 13-inch laptop, negatively affects my health and, accordingly, on my overall performance. Thus, I approached the decision to acquire a larger screen. Running ahead, I will say that I bought the monitor myself, and my choice fell on PHILIPS 272P4QPJKEB. Why and, most importantly, by what criteria I chose this particular monitor, you can learn from this material.
A monitor is a device with which we interact most often when we work at a computer. Some professions require the user to look at the screen for 8-10 hours. Therefore, for designers, developers or photographers, the monitor is perhaps the most important device. How to choose a good monitor that will allow you to increase productivity and reduce fatigue?
Choosing a monitor for work, you will come across a bunch of parameters and characteristics that will require you to special knowledge. Understand the specifications and characteristics, of course, you can, but the development of all the wisdom and subtleties will require a lot of time and patience. In this material, we will try to sort out the debris of specifications a little and understand which characteristics are really important, and which ones should not be taken into account.
So, as was said above, my choice fell on PHILIPS 272P4QPJKEB. I will try to explain what I was guided by when choosing.
Diagonal and resolution
The first is, of course, a huge diagonal - 27 inches. The screen with such a diagonal has truly huge dimensions, its working viewing area: 596.74 mm (D) x 335.66 mm (B). Working with multimedia content (photos, videos) on such a huge display is simply a pleasure. Under such a diagonal, the manufacturer equipped the display with a corresponding resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. This resolution allows you to work with video in full-size Full HD-format and at the same time have in stock almost 50% of additional free space on the screen. Thus, in the process of editing Full HD-video, you can view it in full size right in the editor window and do not hide the editing tools.
If to speak of dry figures, then the resolution of 2560 x 1440 on the diagonal of 27 inches in general gives out almost 109 dots per inch, which by monitor standards is a very good result. If the figures go to personal impressions, I can safely say that the pixels to the eye are not visible, at least from the working distance. Of course, if you look at the monitor from a distance of 20 centimeters, you can still see the pixels, but I can not imagine who will need it. Comfortable for work distance starts from 50 centimeters and at such a distance, the picture on the monitor looks sharp and simply elegant.
Matrix Type and Color Rendering
The second, and no less important parameter, which I paid attention to when choosing a monitor is the type of matrix. PHILIPS 272P4QPJKEB uses a PLS matrix, which is famous for its good viewing angles and correct color rendering. The PLS-matrix can boast viewing angles up to 178 ° both vertically and horizontally, which allows you to work comfortably with video and photographic materials. In addition, the matrix is able to provide the user with a full coverage of the sRGB range. All this allows you to achieve high levels of brightness and elegant color reproduction. In terms of numbers, the PHILIPS 272P4QPJKEB matrix has a response at 12 ms. Brightness: 300 cd / m² and contrast ratio: 1000: 1 in normal mode and 20 000 000: 1 in SmartContrast mode.
Yes, and the last thing that has played in favor of choosing a monitor with a matrix PLS is low power consumption. This huge big guy consumes only 39.2 watts in active mode, and in standby mode and even less: 0.3 watts. For the 27-inch model, the performance is quite good.
In addition, there is a very cool "chip" on the monitor - PowerSensor. It saves up to 80% of electricity. It works like this: two infrared sensors are built into the monitor, which determine the presence of the user, if the monitor does not have anyone, then it reduces the level of brightness and thereby saves electricity.
Base and foot
Also I was very pleased with the base and leg of the monitor. The stand allows you to rotate the monitor in a wide variety of directions, in addition to rotating and fastening the legs, allows you to adjust the height of the monitor over the table.
Also I would like to draw your attention to a simple but at the same time very interesting solution: there is a small hole in the leg, it is designed to order the cables coming from the monitor, and thus to give the workplace a neatness and accuracy. Why do I focus on such trifles as cables? It's very simple - the monitor has a huge number of ports and connectors, and if each of them hangs on the cable, the workplace will instantly turn into something very unattractive.
Connectors
Since we have touched on the topic of ports and connectors, I propose to consider them in more detail. As mentioned above, PHILIPS 272P4QPJKEB has a rich set of ports, among which you can find: DVI-Dual Link, DisplayPort and two HDMI-ports. As you can see, almost any modern signal source can be connected to the monitor.
In addition, I would like to note the presence of a USB hub that supports the USB 3.0 standard. I think it's useless to explain the advantages of such a solution, USB ports, and even 3.0 versions, will never be superfluous. In addition to all the above, the monitor housing was found: audio input and audio output for headphones.
In general, I found almost all ports that I need, except for the good old VGA, but I managed to solve this problem with the help of an adapter. With the connectors, we figured out, now I propose to move on to the pleasant little things with which the PHILIPS 272P4QPJKEB will certainly please its owner.
Branded "chips" and nice little things
The monitor does not have such a rich set of connectors: PHILIPS 272P4QPJKEB can work with several sources simultaneously and display an image from each of them. This mode of operation is called MultiView, in this mode, the monitor can display a picture from two sources. There are two display options: PiP and PbP. The variant, which is called PiP, provides an additional signal display over the main picture, and PbP divides the screen into two equal parts, and each part displays a separate video signal.
Of the nice "chips" of the monitor, I would also like to note the presence of a built-in camera, it allows you to abandon an external webcam, thereby saving space and keeping a pretty appearance of the monitor. The built-in webcam has good enough quality and boasts a 2 megapixel matrix. The camera has a LED-activity indicator.
And the last nice little thing I'd like to draw your attention to. The monitor has built-in speakers, they are quite enough to watch a movie or talk on "Skype" in a not very noisy environment. For office use, they will be enough. As they say, a trifle, but nice.
Conclusion
To summarize, I would like to say that before I got to know PHILIPS 272P4QPJKEB personally, I expected much less from him. I expected to get just a good screen, but in practice it turned out that the PHILIPS 272P4QPJKEB offers the user much more than a high-quality image, although it is because of the quality matrix that PHILIPS 272P4QPJKEB first of all chose it. In addition to the delightful picture, you will get a really high-quality, comfortable and, most importantly, thoughtful thing. In the end, I note a very significant drawback: PHILIPS 272P4QPJKEB is a professional-grade display and the price is corresponding to its class (at the time of writing the survey, it fluctuated within 22 thousand rubles). If for you the price is not a decisive factor and you need a high-quality, professional and well-thought-out screen, then PHILIPS 272P4QPJKEB is exactly what you need. Personally, I'm very satisfied with the purchase.
