Philips 221V2SB 21.5" DVI LCD Monitor

Philips 221V2SB 21.5" DVI TFT Display

As far as trustworthiness goes, Philips is up there with the best of the best. The Dutch technology firm continues to go from strength to strength while its less-recent releases, including the Philips 221V2SB 21.5" DVI TFT monitor, continue to prove that the company's products stand the test of time. This stylish, sleek and high-performance display allows both home and office computers to flourish, with the huge screen size allowing you to queue up a remarkable number of tasks without ever having them encroach on one another.
The widescreen display offers top-class features; the most notable of these is the fact it can deliver full HD LCD displays with a 1920 x 1080px resolution and 5ms response time. In addition to this wonderful picture quality, the Philips 221V2SB 21.5" DVI TFT creates 300,000:1 contrast with its patented SmartContrast technology, resulting in incredibly rich black details.

Much like a lot of the wider range of electronics from Philips, the 221V2SB 21.5" DVI TFT has qualified for Energy Star status due to its environmentally-friendly green design, which meet major international standards. Especially in the current climate, where people are looking to cut costs in the face of rising electricity and gas bills in the home and office, it would be wrong to go with anything that did not promote greener standards.

As a simple plug-and-play screen for well under the standard £100+ threshold for screens of a HD ilk, this Philips offering really is amazing value for money. With easy controls to give you access to a wide array of picture format controls, it will also allow you to revert to the traditional 4:3 format. A well-constructed tilting mechanism also allows a highly-individualised viewing angle, meaning that it fits into any set-up with ease.
