The Philips 242B1V creates privacy with a switchable privacy mode, preventing visual hacking and hiding the screen from people around in open offices and co-working spaces. This feature is designed for those companies and professionals dealing with sensitive data that need to ensure its confidentiality. By pressing a button, the screen appears dark and barely visible from both sides, while presenting a clear image from the front. Only the user directly in front of the display can read content on the screen.

The Philips 242B1V delivers high-quality images with Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution and IPS technology for a wide range of accurate color reproduction and wide viewing angles of 178°/178°.

This new model has features that create an ergonomically friendly workspace. The display has an EasyRead mode to guarantee a paper-like reading experience, and SmartErgoBase, a height-adjustable, swiveling and tiltable stand that allows users to place the monitor at the ideal viewing distance and position. The Philips 242B1V includes the LowBlue Mode setting which reduces harmful shortwave blue light and FlickerFree technology, which reduces flicker.

The Philips 242B1V as three main features to help save power: LightSensor, Power Sensor and SmartImage technology. While LightSensor adapts the monitor's brightness to the ambient light for quality image quality with minimal power, the built-in Power Sensor detects the user's presence and automatically adjusts the monitor's brightness reducing it when the user steps away. This cuts energy costs by up to 70% and helps extend the monitor's lifetime.

SmartImage is a user-friendly Philips technology, which optimizes the display's performance. Based on the analysis of the content displayed, SmartImage adapts the contrast, color saturation and sharpness of images and videos.

The Philips 242B1V monitor is available from mid-June 2020.
