Philips 242G5DJEB

Overview

Reviews

Price: $390
The Philips Brilliance 242G5DJEB/00 is an excellent gaming monitor, but our main concern is the price. At just under £290, it's more expensive than the AOC myUltraSpeed G2460Pqu and the larger Iiyama Prolite GB2773HS, both of which have 144Hz refresh rates.

Now I have had the chance to play with the Phillips 242G5 monitor, it's time for my opinion on it.  Is it worth the hefty £275 price tag?  Does the high refresh rate make much difference?  Let's crack on…....

The Philips - 242G5DJEB - Gaming Monitor is another model aimed at capturing the 144Hz Market. However the latter is only achievable with a Dual-DVI cable (which is supplied). Mind you for our existing setup this is good because it frees up the HDMI port...
