Philips is constantly trying to establish itself in the gaming monitor market. At the same time, the manufacturer saves on technologies, aiming to stay within the budget segment. The result is always the same – gamers simply overlook solutions from this brand. The Philips 24E1N5500E/11 monitor was no exception. Its claimed gaming capabilities are far from those ideals. The ones that are abundant in MSI, Acer, Asus. But, for home or office use, this new model looks very attractive.

Judging the gaming capabilities of the Philips 24E1N5500E/11 monitor is difficult. It is an ordinary mid-range model for home or office use. This is indicated by its screen size, ergonomics, and blue light protection. An IPS panel with QHD resolution is good. However, for detailed gaming at this resolution, the color depth is weak. Only 16.7 million shades. Although, the standard is considered to be 1 billion.
Additionally, the video signals are HDMI 1.4. What does this mean? Where are HDR, AMD FreeSync? Apparently, Philips sees gaming monitors differently. Also, the price of the Philips 24E1N5500E/11 monitor is not specified for different markets.
