philips-nvidia-gsyncIf you have been in the market on the lookout for a new gaming monitor, but are not quite sure as to which particular model that you would want to settle on, how about checking out what the folks over at Philips has in store? Enter the Philips 27” Gaming Monitor, where it is touted to deliver a stunning visual experience as well as ultra-smooth play to gamers who are on the constant lookout for a serious competitive edge.

Sporting the model number 272G5DYEB, I would very much like to stick to Philips 27” Gaming Monitor as it is a whole lot easier to pronounce as well as remember. Not only that, folks would be able to identify with it in a jiffy. Now, this gaming monitor is no ordinary, run-of-the-mill model, as it offers revolutionary performance thanks to NVIDIA G-SYNC, a new technology which will synchronize display refresh rates to the PC’s GPU, hence kissing goodbye to screen tearing and minimizing display stutter as well as input lag. The presence of G-SYNC would allow images to be displayed the moment they are rendered, as scenes appear instantly, objects are sharper, and game play ends up smoother. After all, you know how hardcore gamers are like – they want the maximum framerates possible, and who knows how that extra 1fps might be the difference between victory and defeat?

Apart from that, the Philips 27” Gaming Monitor will also deliver a 144Hz refresh rate with 1ms response time so that any kind of fast action will not be too much of an issue for it to handle. Other hardware specifications include a brightness level of 300cd/cm2 and a 1000:1 typical contrast ratio, not to mention being able to display up to 16.7 million colors. You can opt to place this monitor on your desk or mount it to a wall, it will work well in either situation.

    Philips Master LEDTube InstantFit Helps You Save Energy

    Philips Master LEDTube InstantFit Helps You Save EnergyThe world is definitely going green these days, and there has been plenty of effort made by different companies to make sure that we end up getting more from our vehicles and gadgets, but use less resources than ever before. In a nutshell, efficiency is the keyword here, and Philips clearly believes in this ideology with their latest device, their interpretation of the T8 tube. The T8 fluorescent tube lamp has been in action since the 1930s, where it is estimated that the total number of T8s available worldwide happen to be double the total number of people on the planet. While maintaining the mantra that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, the fluorescent tube could be even more efficient and cheaper to maintain, which is where the Philips Master LEDTube InstantFit lamp comes in.

    The Philips Master LEDTube InstantFit happens to be the first true drop-in LED replacement tube, where it no longer needs any rewiring of the fixture to bypass the old fluorescent tube electronic ballast. This translates to such lamps making the switch over to LED by a maintenance worker, taking only a couple of minutes to do so, instead of requiring an electrician to get the job done. It might not sound like much, but when you multiply that amount by hundreds of lamps in a large supermarket or other business, it adds up to plenty of time “wasted”, so to speak. The Philips Master LEDTube InstantFit is also said to be able to save approximately 41% in electrical costs over an equivalent fluorescent tube, boasting of a 40,000 hour life span. [Press Release]

    Philips 27″ Gaming Monitor with NVIDIA G-Sync Adjusts to your GPU: Refresh Prince

    One of the many gadgets unveiled before the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) – really guys, if you keep preempting the show CES 2015 might as well be held this December – the 27″ Philips 272G5DYEB monitor is one of the first monitors to have NVIDIA G-Sync built-in. In theory, this means the monitor’s refresh rate is not static; instead it’s synchronized to how fast your PC’s graphics card can render a given frame. This should eliminate the annoying screen tearing associated with graphics-intensive video.

    You can read up on G-Sync on NVIDIA’s website, but NCIX made a great summary of the technology, including its advantage over V-Sync, which is the current workaround to screen tearing. Skip to about 1:20 in the video for the explanation.

    You might also want to check out Engadget’s footage of NVIDIA’s long-winded demo of G-Sync from a few months ago. I suggest you skip to around 9:40 in the video so you can easily see G-Sync’s (apparent) advantage over a computer using V-Sync.

    Aside from having an adjustable refresh rate, Philips’ 27″ 1080p monitor also has an adjustable body. It tilts, pivots and swivels and its height is adjustable as well.

    As you can see from its spec sheet, one drawback of the monitor is that it only has a DisplayPort input. I think G-Sync has something to do with this, because the first monitor to be compatible with G-Sync, the ASUS VG248QE also loses its HDMI and VGA inputs when upgraded with the G-Sync modification kit released last year. You still have a few months to weigh your options though. Philips says the 272G5DYEB monitor will be released in the second quarter of this year for $649 (USD).
