Panoramic view for professionals: UltraWide 21:9 display from Philips out now

PRESS RELEASE

Thanks to MultiView, signals from two sources can be displayed simultaneously on this 29" (73 cm) crystal clear monitor with AH-IPS panel and 21:9 format

Amsterdam/Berlin, 25 April 2013: Fresh from its debut at CeBIT 2013, the Philips 298P4QJEB professional display is now on sale. MMD, the leading technology company and brand license partner for Philips Monitors, is pleased to announce the release of this 29-inch (73 cm) AH-IPS display. The combination of an extra-wide viewing area in a 21:9 format and the simultaneous dual-feed via MultiView represent an innovative product concept which helps improve productivity at the workplace.

A superb viewing experience

Professional users require excellent image quality for stain-free working with detail-rich business applications. The new 21:9 298P4QJEB monitor from MMD and Philips was designed with exactly this purpose in mind. This crystal clear display is based on state-of-the-art AH-IPS technology for 178/178-degree viewing angles and a particularly high resolution of 2560 x 1080 pixels. The extra-wide 21:9 format provides users with the long-awaited additional screen space for displaying several application windows side by side - and at a brightness of 300 cd/m² even in brightly lit environments. With an outer bezel thickness of no more than 2.5 mm, nothing distracts the user from the truly panoramic view provided by these minimalistic displays.

Size matters

Complementing the spacious screen size, the advanced MultiView abilities enable users to stream content from multiple sources simultaneously. From finance professionals who need to keep tabs on more than one information feed at once, to graphic designers carrying out complex CAD-CAM work: multitaskers everywhere can hook up two devices and view content side by side. There is no need to crowd desks with two monitors.

Convenience in productivity

To prevent fatigue, the Smart ErgoBase from Philips offers numerous adjustments such as tilt, swivel and pivot functionality. The display can be lowered almost to desk level thanks to the height-adjustable stand - allowing different users to find their individual perfect viewing angle. The base also manages cables neatly, reducing cable clutter on the desktop. Connectivity also more than measures up to professional expectations: the new Philips display is equipped with a range of interfaces, including USB 3.0 for high speed data transfer, HDMI and Dual Link DVI. In addition, recognizing that finance and banking apps often need more than one window on the world - next to the MultiView capability of this 21:9 display - the new Philips UltraWide 298P4QJEB also supports Display Port technology, enabling users to daisy-chain multiple monitors.
