Philips 221V8LB 21.5-inch 100Hz FHD VA Monitor

Philips 221V8LB is a 21.5-inch desktop monitor for everyday office work, study, browsing and casual entertainment. Retail listings identify a Full HD VA panel running at up to 100Hz. That combination offers a practical balance of readable desktop detail, smooth scrolling and stronger native contrast than many typical IPS panels. Exact performance depends on the computer, connection, settings and the content being viewed. Display and image quality The listed resolution is 1920 × 1080 in a 16:9 format. At 21.5 inches this is a standard Full HD desktop size suitable for documents, web pages, video and general productivity. Retailer specifications list a VA panel, 3000:1 contrast ratio, 250 cd/m² brightness and 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles. These are published specifications, not independent measurement results; brightness, contrast, viewing comfort and colour appearance vary with room lighting and panel settings. The matte anti-glare surface, Flicker-Free and Low Blue Light features are listed by retailers. They may help manage reflections and comfort, but do not remove the need for suitable lighting and regular breaks. Refresh rate and response claims The model is listed at 100Hz, which can make supported desktop motion and compatible games look smoother than a 60Hz display. The stated 4ms figure is a grey-to-grey response-time specification. One retailer separately advertises 1ms MPRT; MPRT and GtG use different measurement methods and should not be treated as equivalent. The sources reviewed describe Adaptive-Sync, while one listing labels G-Sync support. Compatibility certification, operating range and behaviour with a specific graphics card have not been independently verified, so check the seller and graphics-card vendor if adaptive refresh is essential. Connections and setup Retailer listings specify one HDMI 1.4 input and one VGA input. HDMI is the practical digital connection for a modern PC or compatible device; VGA supports older computers. Available resolution and refresh rate can depend on the graphics output, cable and settings. A retailer lists HDCP 1.4 for HDMI. Audio-out is mentioned by one seller, but the connection detail is inconsistent across listings; built-in speakers are not listed and another seller says there are none. Plan to use separate speakers or a headset and confirm whether the exact unit has an audio-out jack before buying. USB-C, DisplayPort and a USB hub are not listed. Stand, mounting and dimensions The supplied stand is described as tilt-adjustable from approximately -5 to +20 degrees. Height adjustment and swivel are not listed. Star Tech lists 100 × 100 mm VESA mounting, dimensions of 493 × 369 × 220 mm with stand and 493 × 286 × 44 mm without it, and weights of 2.63 kg and 2.23 kg respectively. Check the rear mounting pattern and included accessories with the seller before ordering an arm or wall mount. Power and practical use TechLand lists a typical on-mode power consumption of 14.8W and a 100–240V, 50–60Hz supply. Retailer pages disagree on whether the power adapter is external or integrated, so the adapter arrangement should be confirmed for the stock being sold. This monitor can suit a compact desk, study area or basic workstation where Full HD and a 100Hz refresh rate meet the user's needs. It is less suitable when the job requires QHD/4K workspace, verified colour-critical performance, USB-C docking, a height-adjustable stand, integrated speakers or documented adaptive-sync certification. Bangladesh price, stock and warranty The reviewed Bangladesh listings showed a ৳9,900 price point on the day checked, but seller availability differed: some listings marked the monitor out of stock or to be announced, while another showed it in stock. This is a dated single-seller observation, not a guaranteed live price or a multi-seller market range. Ask the chosen shop to confirm sealed-unit condition, current stock, delivery, return policy and the final payable price. Retailers advertise a three-year warranty; coverage is seller-specific and should be confirmed in writing, including service location, panel-pixel policy and whether the warranty is official or shop-provided.
