Description

180 Hz and 1 ms for fast games

The higher the refresh rate, the more smoothly opponents and camera turns move in shooters. 180 Hz is three times faster than a standard 60 Hz monitor, and the 1 ms response time reduces motion blur. The strength of a VA panel is deep black and high contrast, which pays off in dark game levels and films. Full HD resolution does not overload the graphics card, so high frame rates are easier to reach.

Who this gaming monitor is for

The 27M2C5201L suits gamers who value smoothness and speed over high resolution, and bright rooms where a black monitor would look out of place. Two HDMI ports are handy when both a PC and a console share the desk. There are no speakers and no height adjustment, but the VESA 100 × 100 mm mount lets you put it on an adjustable arm.

Questions & answers

Can I use it with a games console?

Yes, a console connects over HDMI, and with two HDMI ports the PC can stay connected too. The manufacturer does not specify which refresh rate is available with a console.

Is 180 Hz available over HDMI?

The manufacturer does not specify this: the data gives the 180 Hz maximum and the 2 × HDMI and 1 × DisplayPort inputs. Per-port refresh rates are in the Philips user manual.

Does the monitor have speakers?

No, there are no built-in speakers. For gaming a headset or separate speakers work well.
