27" Philips 27M2C5201L
The Philips 27M2C5201L 27" gaming monitor combines speed and immersive visuals. This curved Full HD monitor uses a VA panel with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels, which displays deep blacks thanks to a 3,000:1 contrast ratio. The high 180Hz refresh rate combined with a 0.5ms (MBR) response time delivers a sharp and smooth image without motion blur. The 1500R curvature pulls you right into the centre of the action. Ambiglow technology dynamically adjusts the backlighting and visually expands the image beyond the physical boundaries of the frame, intensifying the gaming experience. HDR 10 support and a wide colour gamut of 122% sRGB complete the package with vivid and realistic colours.

Smooth visuals with high contrast
The 1500R curvature draws you into the action. The VA panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio and 1920×1080 pixel resolution displays sharp details. The 180Hz refresh rate along with the 0.5ms (MBR) response time reduces motion blur. Image synchronisation with AMD FreeSync technology prevents unwanted tearing. The monitor supports HDR 10 for higher contrast and more vibrant colours, while covering 122% of the sRGB colour space. The brightness reaches 300 cd/m² and the contrast ratio is 3,000:1.
Gaming features
The monitor integrates several features to improve gaming performance. SmartImage Game modes optimise image settings for different genres, such as FPS, Racing, or RTS. For better orientation in dark scenes, the Shadow Boost function lightens dark areas without overexposing bright parts. Smart MBR technology sharpens fast-moving objects, complementing the low response time. Aiming accuracy in shooters is enhanced by the smart crosshair, which overlays the screen with a static reticle.
Ergonomics and eye protection
The monitor stand allows the screen to be tilted from -5° to +20°. For greater flexibility, you can use a VESA mount with a 100×100mm spacing to attach it to a wall or a compatible arm. To reduce eye strain during prolonged use, the monitor integrates eye-care technologies. Flicker-free technology reduces invisible backlight flicker and LowBlue Mode actively reduces emissions of potentially harmful blue light.
Connectivity options
The monitor offers a wide range of connectivity options for PCs and gaming consoles. All interfaces support a high refresh rate for smooth visuals. An audio output is also available for connecting headphones or external speakers.

Colour Gamut
Determines how accurately a monitor can display colours. sRGB is ideal for web, films or games. DCI-P3/Adobe RGB is appreciated by graphic designers or professionals. The higher the value, the better the monitor displays colours. Maximum Brightness
A value given in nits or cd/m² that determines the brightness of the monitor. Brightness above 400 nits is key for HDR content and readability in sunlight, while standard office monitors are fine with values above 250. Refresh Rate and Response Time
The refresh rate (Hz) determines the number of frames displayed per second, so the higher the value, the smoother the image and the less eye strain. A lower response time (ms) eliminates motion blur. 144Hz+ is ideal for gaming, while values around 75Hz are suitable for office monitors.Specifications
