MMD introduced the Philips 276C8 / 00 monitor, a new 27-inch quad HD monitor. The monitor stands out for having a base with USB-C connection, HDR technology and a great color representation.

MMD Introduces Philips 276C8 Quad HD Monitor with HDR10

The Philips 276C8 / 00 monitor has an 8-bit IPS panel with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 and a refresh rate of 75 Hz with support for HDR10, all under an HDMI 2.0 connector.

HDR display on this monitor will be somewhat limited as the maximum brightness is around 350 nits. The contrast of this 16: 9 aspect ratio screen is 1000: 1, the gray to gray response time is set to 4 milliseconds. The range of colors is relatively wide, which is one of its greatest virtues. We have a color spectrum of 114% in NTSC and 131% of the sRGB color space. Freesync is also integrated, although it is not FreeSync 2.

As for connectivity, we see an HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 1.4 connection, and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 type C port. This last connector supports a power supply of up to 65 W and must be capable of displaying a second monitor, assuming that resolution requires no more than 5 gigabits per second of bandwidth. The screen is also very thin and has fairly narrow screen edges. A Kensington lock is also integrated, and the 3.5mm jack is designed as a passage for external speakers.
