Envision Peripherals Inc. (EPI), a company that sells Philips monitors in North America recently announced three new high resolution IPS desktop monitors. The company is releasing one 29” 21:9 monitor for consumers and two high resolution displays for professionals.

Philips Brilliance 29” UltraWide Monitor

This Philips monitor is of the 21:9 variety and offers up a resolution of 2560 x 1080 on its AH IPS display. The monitor features a narrow bezel, built-in speakers, and comes bundled with SmartControl software to adjest settings via a PC software application.

It has DL-DVI, DisplayPort, HDMI, and (optional) Thunderbolt video inputs. It supports MultiView technology, which allows the monitor to accept multiple video inputs and display them simultaneously on the screen.

The Philips Brilliance 29” UltraWide display is available now at online retailers like Amazon. While it has an MSRP of $599 according to the press release, Amazon is actually charging $667.90 for the monitor currently.

While the Brilliance 29” UltraWide is aimed at consumers, the following two monitors are intended for professionals doing CAD, finance, and art/design work.

P-Line 29” UltraWide Monitor

The P-Line 29” UltraWide is a 21:9 monitor for professionals. It features a 2560 x 1080 resolution AH IPS display with MultiView technology and a “ultra narrow” bezel. EPI claims that the display has both a 178-degree vertical and horizontal viewing angles. There are four USB 3.0 port as well as a height-adjustable stand.

Video inputs include DisplayPort 1.2a ports that allow daisy chaining monitors. The MultiView technology also allows the display to show two display inputs simultaneously.

The monitor is available now to business customers from resellers like CDW for $699.

P-Line 27” Quad HD Monitor

Finally, the P-line 27” Quad HD monitor is the final new professional series display. It has the highest resolution at 2560 x 1440 (109 PPI). This IPS display supports 8-bit color and has a professional price to match. The monitor itself has a height-adjustable stand, built-in speakers, a 2MP webcam with microphone, USB 3.0 ports, and a PowerSensor which detects when the user leaves the computer and automatically dims the display. EPI claims that the PowerSensor results in up to 80% power savings. It would be useful for businesses, though less crucial for home users.

Like the P-line 29” UltraWide, this monitor can daisy chain other monitors to the PC video output via DisplayPort connectors. Video inputs include DL-DVI, DisplayPort, HDMI, and Thunderbolt.

It is available now from resellers with an MSRP of $799.

P-line 27” Quad HD Monitor
This feature-rich, high-performance Philips 27” P-line display is designed to deliver Crystalclear Quad HD 2560×1440 images. With excellent 8 bit color depth combined with 109 ppi density, you can now enjoy professional true color sRGB images compared to limited 6 bit color depth displays with 82ppi density. Its higher brightness and lower power consumption relative to conventional wide-view angle displays ensure you always have brilliant performance, while saving energy too. The display is best suited for professional applications such as CAD, graphics design and image rendering. DisplayPort technology also allows the daisy chain of multiple monitors, dramatically increasing efficiency.


The P-line 27” Quad HD monitor comes equipped with a 2 megapixel webcam and microphone, enabling hassle-free communication and collaboration with clients and colleagues. Built-in speakers ensure that you hear the caller clearly, while the monitor’s height-adjustable SmartErgoBase delivers both cable management and ergonomic display comfort that can ease the strain of long workdays.


This professional display also helps to save time, money and energy. The monitor’s Super Speed USB 3.0 ports work about 10 times faster than USB 2.0 standard hubs, significantly reducing data transfer time. A built-in PowerSensor determines if a user is present and automatically reduces monitor brightness when user steps away from the desk, cutting energy costs by up to 80 percent and prolonging monitor life. The display offers a plethora of connectivity options and comes equipped with multi connections like Dual link DVI, Display Port, universal HDMI connector, or optional Thunderbolt. Priced at $799, the P-line 27” Quad HD Monitor is available to enterprise buyers through CDW and other resellers.

P-line 29” UltraWide Monitor
This MultiView P-line 29” UltraWide display features a superb 21:9 AH IPS screen with an ultra-narrow bezel for an impressive panoramic view. The MultiView functionality enables active dual connect of two separate devices simultaneously on one screen, while the 21:9 format makes the monitor perfectly suitable for viewing large spreadsheets or two full Internet pages side by side on one screen. The display’s 178/178 degree wide viewing angle allows for optimal graphic design, web applications and photo retouching. Whether you require extremely detailed information for CAD-CAM solutions, use 3D graphic applications or are a financial wizard working on huge spreadsheets, this Philips display will deliver Crystalclear 2560×1080 pixel images.


Equipped with four Super Speed USB 3.0 ports, the P-line 29” UltraWide Monitor offers more bandwidth, super speed transfer rates, better power management and superior overall performance. This Philips display also employs DisplayPort 1.2a Multi Stream Transport (MST) technology with HBR2, which doubles the data throughput to 21.6 Gbps. This enables it to daisy chain multiple monitors to increase efficiency. This multi-monitor capability makes the display particularly useful in Finance, Banking, control room and other similar environments.


Thanks to its advanced SmartErgoBase, the monitor can be lowered down almost to desk level for a comfortable viewing angle. Low bezel-to-table height is the perfect solution for those who use bifocals, trifocals or progressive lens glasses for computing work. Additionally, the adjustable base allows for users of greatly different heights to use the monitor in their preferred angle and height settings, helping them reduce fatigue and strain.


Priced at $699, the EnergyStar 6.0 P-line 29” UltraWide Monitor is available to enterprise buyers through CDW and other resellers.

Philips Brilliance 29” UltraWide Monitor
With built-in high quality stereo speakers and an advanced 21:9 panoramic AH-IPS panel with superb color accuracy, the Philips Brilliance 29” UltraWide Monitor is the ultimate cinematic display for multimedia entertainment. Vibrant 2560 x 1080 CrystalClear UltraWide HD images and vivid colors pair with an ultra-narrow bezel allowing for minimal distractions and maximum viewing size.

Watching a live football feed from your set-top box on the right side, while browsing the Internet from your notebook on the left is now easy. You may want to keep an eye on the live news feed with audio in the small window, while working on your latest blog in another.


The Philips Brilliance 29” UltraWide Monitor also features Smart technologies to optimize your viewing experience.
