The brand-fresh Philips curved display should also be suitable for demanding applications in the areas of CAD-CAM, 3D graphics, or photography. Philips 34 inch monitor with webcam uses a display with VA technology, a maximum of 120 Hz, and UWQHD (3,440 x 1,440 pixels).

For modern office use, the new Philips webcam monitor also has a 1-cable connection via USB Type-C docking for simultaneous high-speed data transmission, network operation, and charging of mobile devices such as a notebook. The integrated KVM switch is also useful for controlling two different PCs via a single monitor, keyboard, and mouse set. Switching between sources is done at the push of a button.

The integrated USB 3.2 hub with 4 ports offers plenty of connectivity for peripherals and minimizes cable clutter. For video conferencing and virtual teamwork, Philips 34B1U5600CH comes with an integrated, physically switchable 5 MP webcam with Windows Hello face recognition, as well as a noise-canceling microphone and two integrated speakers.

Thanks to the SmartErgoBase, the Philips 34B1U5600CH can be tilted, swiveled, and adjusted in height. The new 1440p monitor also features PowerSensor to reduce energy costs. MMD promises savings of up to 75 to 80 percent.
