The integrated Smart KVM function optimizes multitasking by allowing users to instantly switch keyboard and mouse control between two connected devices. With Philips MultiView, the input of two PCs can be displayed on the screen simultaneously. An integrated 5MP webcam with AI-supported auto-framing and Windows Hello support enables video conferencing without additional hardware.
The front glass with anti-reflection coating and a hardness of 7H prevents glare without, according to the manufacturer, impairing the detail display, and ensures a brilliant display in all lighting conditions. The ergonomic functions include a LowBlue mode and Flicker-Free technology to protect the eyes. On the other hand, the height of the display can be adjusted, tilted, swiveled and rotated (pivot) via the SmartErgoBase stand.
