Philips 243V7Q — 23.8-Inch Full HD IPS Monitor with DisplayPort, HDMI, VGA

The certified refurbished Philips 243V7Q features a 23.8-inch Full HD 1920×1080 IPS panel with wide 178° viewing angles, 4ms response time, DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 1.4, and VGA inputs, Flicker-Free and LowBlue Mode eye-care, and up to 75Hz refresh — all backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

• IPS Panel Technology: True-to-life colours with 16.7 million colour depth and consistent 178°/178° viewing angles — significantly better colour accuracy and off-axis consistency than TN monitors.
• DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 1.4, VGA: Three video inputs cover modern digital connections and legacy VGA, plus the DisplayPort and HDMI support up to 75Hz for smoother screen refresh on compatible hardware.
• Flicker-Free & LowBlue Mode: TÜV-certified eye-care features eliminate screen flicker and reduce harmful blue light emissions for comfortable extended work or study sessions.
• SmartImage Presets: Six display modes — Office, Photo, Movie, Game, EasyRead, Economy — each optimised for specific content types, switchable without navigating through menus.
• Up to 75Hz Refresh Rate: Smoother than standard 60Hz monitors when connected via HDMI or DisplayPort, reducing eye fatigue during continuous work and providing noticeably better motion clarity.
• Energy-Efficient Design: 21W typical power consumption with ENERGY STAR 7.0 and EPEAT Gold certification — an eco-conscious choice for multi-monitor office environments.

Performance in Use

The 243V7Q is a versatile IPS monitor that covers home office, student, and general business needs well. At 23.8 inches with Full HD resolution, text is sharp and legible for long reading and writing sessions. The IPS panel's wide viewing angles make it notably easier to share the screen with a colleague next to you, and colour consistency stays accurate whether you're looking straight on or from a significant angle.

The 75Hz refresh rate via DisplayPort or HDMI reduces the subtle flicker that makes extended 60Hz monitor use fatiguing over a full working day. The Flicker-Free backlight further reduces eye strain, and LowBlue Mode provides a warmer colour temperature option for evening work or users sensitive to blue light. SmartImage presets let you switch between reading-optimised modes for document work and movie-optimised modes for video calls or media without diving into menus.

DisplayPort 1.2 is the preferred connection for modern PCs and laptops, delivering the cleanest digital signal and supporting the 75Hz refresh rate. HDMI 1.4 connects to most modern laptops and also supports audio passthrough where a receiver or soundbar is used. VGA provides compatibility for older workstations and shared office equipment.
