Water and dust resistant
For less than perfect environments, you need a monitor

that is designed to hold up to the splashes of water
and dust. Ingress Protection (IP) ratings defined in international
standard IEC/EN 60529, and are used to define levels
of sealing effectiveness of electrical enclosures against intrusion
from foreign bodies and moisture which both Philips
162B9T & 242B9T fully supports.
SmartContrast
SmartContrast is a Philips technology that analyses the
contents you are displaying, automatically adjusting colours
and controlling backlight intensity to dynamically
enhance contrast for the best digital images and videos or
games where dark hues are displayed. When Economy mode
is selected, the contrast is adjusted and backlighting is finetuned
to make it easier to use everyday office applications
and decrease power consumption.
LowBlue Mode
Studies have shown that just like ultra-violet
rays, shortwave length blue light rays from LED
displays can also affect vision over time and can
potentially cause eye damage. Developed with digital
wellbeing in mind, the Philips LowBlue Mode
setting uses a smart software technology to reduce
harmful shortwave blue light.
SmartStand
Philips SmartStand allows for flexible adjustment
of the display. Its Z-type structure with
smooth tilt, height adjustment and folding capabilities
enable you to use it in various ergonomic
positions. You can set the stand in upright position
for better touch control, or recline
it backwards to make it easy for you to
draw or annotate. It even allows you to
put the screen almost flat on the table
for some applications if needed.
