A white Full HD monitor for mixed use
The Philips 24E1N2100AW is a 23.8-inch white desktop display designed for home, study and gaming setups. Philips regional documentation identifies an IPS panel, Full HD resolution and a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz over HDMI. It also specifies built-in stereo speakers and eye-comfort features. The five catalog images show a white-framed monitor with a matching stand, a front view displaying a sunset, angled and side profiles, and rear views of the mount and connection area. Those images help distinguish the white AW model from a visually similar black variant. Regional suffix and bundle matter: the official AW/69 datasheet lists HDMI and VGA, while Bangladesh retailers also mention DisplayPort. Confirm the complete code and actual rear-panel connections for the unit being sold.
Screen size, resolution and pixel density
The display is 23.8 inches diagonally (60.5 cm), with a 16:9 aspect ratio and native resolution of 1920 × 1080. Philips lists a pixel pitch of 0.2745 × 0.2745 mm and pixel density around 93 PPI. This provides a familiar Full HD workspace for documents, browsing, video calls, study and gaming. Set the computer to 1920 × 1080 for the native image. Full HD at this size is a practical mainstream format, although buyers who need finer text or a larger workspace may compare QHD or 4K screens. Scaling and viewing distance affect perceived sharpness, so make display settings comfortable for the desk and user.
IPS picture and published color coverage
Philips specifies IPS technology, a W-LED backlight, 16.7 million colors and a typical 178-degree horizontal/vertical viewing angle. The AW/69 regional sheet lists gamut area values of 102.66% sRGB, 89.36% NTSC, 81.39% DCI-P3 and 84.49% Adobe RGB. The document notes that sRGB area uses CIE1931 while DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB/NTSC use other measurement standards. Gamut area is not the same as calibrated color accuracy or a guarantee that every unit is factory profiled. For photo editing, print work or color grading, request calibration evidence and use a colorimeter if required. These specifications are stronger evidence than general retail claims about vivid color.
120Hz and input-specific refresh limits
Philips lists a maximum 1920 × 1080 refresh rate of 120Hz, with HDMI supporting 48–120Hz and VGA 48–75Hz. The input matters: VGA cannot provide the full 120Hz range according to the specification. After connecting by HDMI, select 1920 × 1080 at 120Hz in the host operating system if the graphics output, cable and source support it. If 120Hz is unavailable, check the selected input, cable, graphics driver and display mode. A display refreshes only as often as its source provides frames; game performance also depends on the computer and application. Do not use the VGA port expecting the maximum HDMI refresh specification.
Response time: 4ms GtG and 1ms MPRT
Philips gives both 4ms Gray-to-Gray typical response and 1ms MPRT. They are distinct metrics. MPRT is a gaming-oriented motion mode that synchronizes backlight strobing with refresh to reduce perceived blur. Philips cautions that this can cause noticeable brightness changes and flicker, and brightness cannot be adjusted while MPRT is active. Turn the mode off when you are not using it or if flicker is uncomfortable. The 1ms number should therefore not be advertised as 1ms GtG. Motion perception also depends on frame rate, refresh rate, transitions and settings. This product copy keeps both manufacturer measures with their proper labels.
Brightness, contrast and SmartContrast
The Philips AW/69 datasheet specifies typical brightness of 300 cd/m² and a typical contrast ratio of 1500:1. It also lists SmartContrast Mega Infinity DCR, a dynamic picture enhancement feature. Brightness can be adjusted to suit room lighting; a high setting in a dark room may be uncomfortable. Static and dynamic contrast descriptions are not interchangeable, so the typical 1500:1 figure is the useful panel comparison. Retailer data for this exact product broadly matches Philips on brightness and contrast. Actual perception can vary with the picture preset, source material, viewing environment and regional hardware.
Adaptive Sync, gaming and HDR claims
Philips documents Adaptive Sync, SmartImage and 120Hz refresh for the 24E1N2100AW. Adaptive Sync can coordinate refresh behavior with compatible graphics output and help reduce tearing. The official AW/69 datasheet does not list HDR support, so this description does not promise HDR. Some other Philips product pages or retail templates may combine features across models; the exact regional sheet is the source of truth for the features stated here. Philips does not establish Nvidia G-SYNC certification in the source reviewed, so “G-SYNC certified” is not claimed. Check the graphics control panel and monitor OSD for the actual available adaptive-sync option.
LowBlue, SoftBlue, Flicker-free and EasyRead
The Philips regional product sheet lists LowBlue Mode, SoftBlue, Flicker-free and EasyRead. These picture options can help users tune the screen for reading, ordinary work or evening use. SoftBlue is described by Philips as a technology paired with the low-blue-light panel, and its document cites third-party testing for that technology. Individual comfort differs; adjust brightness, take breaks and avoid using a very bright screen in a dark room. EasyRead and LowBlue are display modes, not medical treatments. The anti-glare screen coating is listed as 3H with 25% haze, which helps manage reflections but does not eliminate glare in strong direct light.
Ports, speakers and regional connector differences
Philips AW/69 official documentation lists one HDMI 1.4 input, one VGA input, one audio input and one audio output, with HDCP 1.4 over HDMI. It also lists built-in 2W × 2 speakers. Bangladesh retailer pages add a DisplayPort 1.2 connector to the port list, but that is not present in the official AW/69 source used here. The catalog image of the rear panel visually shows several ports, but its small graphic does not prove every connector’s type. This listing records the official HDMI/VGA set and separately flags the seller’s DP claim. Inspect the actual rear panel or ask for a photo of the exact stock item before relying on DisplayPort.
Stand, VESA mounting and dimensions
The official datasheet lists stand tilt from −5° to +20°, a 100 × 100 mm VESA mount and a Kensington lock. The product gallery shows a white stand and rear mounting area. Height adjustment, swivel and pivot are not listed for the standard stand. Philips gives dimensions of 542 × 417 × 180 mm with stand and 542 × 316 × 45 mm without it. Weight is 2.92 kg with the stand and 2.57 kg without it. Check desk depth, arm load and mounting hardware before setup. Route cables without putting strain on the panel or connectors.
Internal power and operating consumption
Unlike displays that use an external brick, Philips specifies an internal power supply rated for 100–240V AC at 50–60Hz. Typical active power use is approximately 14W, with 0.5W standby and 0.3W off mode. Actual consumption depends on brightness, content and operating conditions. Use the monitor’s supplied AC cable and a suitable outlet. The catalog “Type: External” value was inaccurate; this record corrects it to an internal AC supply based on Philips documentation. The rear product images show the AC inlet near the connection panel. Keep ventilation unobstructed and follow the manufacturer’s safety guidance.
Retailer bundle and warranty checks
Bangladesh retailers list three-year warranty for the 24E1N2100AW. Confirm the service provider, claim location, dead-pixel policy, required invoice and serial number, and whether the package must be retained. The exact regional suffix can affect connectors and bundled accessories. Ask whether a DisplayPort cable is included if your selected unit actually has that input. Philips’ regional datasheet lists built-in speakers and audio in/out; confirm the physical ports and power cable in the shipped box. Prices and stock change and are not guaranteed by this specification review. Keep the invoice and product label photo for future support.
Who this monitor may suit
This model can suit home users who want an IPS Full HD screen, 120Hz HDMI refresh, built-in speakers and an understated white finish. Its HDMI and VGA connectivity fit common computers and media devices; regional seller claims of DisplayPort need verification. It may not suit buyers who need a higher pixel resolution, USB-C docking, a height-adjustable stand, or guaranteed HDR. For gaming, check that the computer can output Full HD at 120Hz over the port used. For color-sensitive work, consider a calibrated display rather than relying solely on gamut coverage. Compare the documented regional model code, connector set, local warranty and included cables before buying.
Setup checklist
Read the rear model code and check the regional suffix. Connect over HDMI for access to 120Hz; VGA is limited to 75Hz by Philips’ specification. Select 1920 × 1080 and a supported refresh rate in the computer settings. Enable Adaptive Sync only when the graphics hardware supports it. If using MPRT, note Philips’ warning that the mode can reduce brightness and introduce flicker. Route sound to the built-in 2W × 2 speakers or an external audio device. Confirm whether the particular unit has DisplayPort before planning a DP connection. Set tilt and brightness, verify stable placement and keep the three-year local warranty documents.
