Featuring a VA panel, the Philips 27M1C5200W supports a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, with a curvature of 1500 R, HDR support, and a refresh rate that can reach up to 240Hz. With a contrast ratio of 3000:1, this monitor ensures deep blacks and a visually striking display.
Other notable specifications include a speedy 4 ms response time (grey to grey), a brightness level of 300 cd/m², an sRGB coverage of 121 percent, 8-bit color depth, and a power consumption of 23.7 watts.

However, the monitor compensates for this simplicity by providing excellent ergonomics. Users can adjust the tilt, rotation, and height of the best 1080p 240Hz 27-inch model, thanks to MMD’s thoughtful design. Additionally, it is equipped with a VESA mount (100 x 100 mm), a blue light filter, and a flicker-free backlight.
