IPS and AMVA technology for super-high contrast and color accuracy

IPS technologyIPS displays use an advanced technology that gives you extra wide viewing angles of 178/178 degrees, making it possible to view the display from almost any angle— even in 90 degree Pivot mode! Unlike standard TN panels, IPS displays gives you remarkably crisp images with vivid colours, making it ideal not only for Photos, movies and web browsing, but also for professional applications, which demand colour accuracy and consistent brightness at all times.

Philips monitors with IPS and AMVA technology

Our commitment is to constantly improve the image quality and viewing experience. For the most demanding home users we offer a variety of IPS models that come equipped with meaningful technologies on top if it such as: MHL technology for smart convenience, Ambiglow for further enhancing the viewing experience and 3D for even more entertainment. For corporate users we have a mature portfolio with IPS and AMVA monitors with the latest high-tech solutions: full ergonomic stands, ErgoSensor for the ultimate ergonomics, variety of connectors, webcam, PowerSensor for effortless energy saving and even more.

AMVA technologyPhilips AMVA LED display uses an advanced multidomain vertical alignment technology which gives you super-high static contrast ratios for extra vivid and bright images. While standard office applications are handled with ease, it is especially suitable for photos, web browsing, films, gaming and demanding graphical applications. Its optimised pixel management technology gives you 178/178 degree extra wide viewing angle, resulting in crisp images even in 90 degree pivot mode.

Why do I need it

• Better color reproduction than TN technology• Constant color parameters with wide viewing angles• Low power consumption• Super-high contrast• Superb image quality within shrinking price gap• Suitable for photos, graphics processing, movies and

gaming• Position your screen in different angles for comfortable

viewing and better ergonomics

PLS technology

Why do I need PLS?

PLS (Plane to line switching) is a technology that is derived from IPS (In plane switching) for making panels for monitors. PLS is the improved technology in comparison to IPS. PLS stands out from IPS with its better viewing angles and its resistance to touching: Better viewing angles translates into uniformed brightness and color accuracy at a wide viewing angles without giving up on color reproduction and natural picture quality. PLS panels offer brighter image and color schemes are consistent.

With improved touch resistance your screen does not change colors when you touch, or leave trail when you use your finger across the screen.

• Higher pixel density• Color accuracy• Vibrant colors• Natural image at a large viewing angle• Consistent color reproduction at a large viewing angle• Resistance to touch: colors do not change no trail left

on the screen

• Provides more working space• Improves readability of texts• Improves display quality of your professional work on

your screen• You can see perfect colors wherever you sit and

however you face the screen• PLS panels consume less energy (compared to IPS & TN)

• In comparison to TN panels, the viewing angle is improved up to 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically from 170 and 160, respectively.

• With most conventional panel, the quality of an image begins to deteriorate as soon as you move to side or view the image from above or below, but with PLS, images produced on the screen will have a consistent color tone whether you are viewing them from the side or the front.

• PLS panel can decrease power consumption by 30% compared to competitor’s IPS panel because of good transmittance.

• Super PLS is the feature which provides wide color range compared to PLS, and also 20% brighter

While similar to IPS, PLS is designed to have a advantages over traditional IPS. First, it has a higher level of transmittance, so more light gets through each individual cell. This allows you to use either a lower powered backlight, or to have a brighter display, both of which lower the power output required for a certain screen brightness. Second, as each cell allows more light though, you can pack them tighter allowing for displays with a higher pixel-per-inch count while keeping light output higher. PLS also claims to have better viewing angles for color and contrast in comparison to IPS.
