Philips is constantly trying to gain a foothold in the gaming monitor market. At the same time, the manufacturer saves on technology, trying to stay in the budget price segment. The result is always the same - gamers simply bypass the brand's decision. The Philips 24E1N5500E/11 monitor is no exception. The stated gaming abilities are far from those ideals. The very ones that MSI, Acer, Asus have in abundance. But, for home or office, the novelty looks very attractive.

It is difficult to judge the gaming capabilities of the Philips 24E1N5500E/11 monitor. This is the usual middle peasant for home use or office. This is evidenced by the diagonal, ergonomics and eye protection from blue radiation. The IPS matrix with QHD resolution is good. But here, for detailing games at this resolution, the color depth is weak. Only 16,7 million shades. Although 1 billion is considered the standard.
Plus, the video signals are HDMI 1.4. How shoud I understand this? Where HDR, AMD FreeSync. Apparently, Philips sees gaming monitors in its own way. And the price of the Philips 24E1N5500E/11 monitor is not announced for different markets.
