Product Overview

The Philips 242B1H is a 23.8″ Full HD business monitor built for office workstations where secure sign-in, video conferencing, and all-day viewing comfort matter. A pop-up 2 MP webcam with microphone supports Windows Hello facial recognition, logging users in within about two seconds and retracting into the bezel when not in use. The IPS panel delivers 178-degree viewing angles with a 75 Hz refresh rate and Adaptive-Sync for smooth on-screen motion. PowerSensor and LightSensor trim energy use automatically across large desk fleets.

Product Description

For IT and procurement teams standardizing desktop hardware, the 242B1H consolidates several line items into one display: the retractable Windows Hello webcam covers both secure biometric login and everyday video calls, the built-in microphone and 2 x 3 W stereo speakers handle conferencing audio, and a three-port USB 3.2 hub (with one BC 1.2 fast-charge port) reduces desk clutter.

The 1920 x 1080 IPS panel covers 107% sRGB with a 1000:1 typical contrast ratio, 250 cd/m2 brightness, anti-glare 25% haze coating, and a 4 ms gray-to-gray response at up to 75 Hz with Adaptive-Sync. Input flexibility HDMI 1.4, DisplayPort 1.2, DVI-D, and VGA lets the monitor serve mixed PC fleets, including legacy systems, and all four cables ship in the box. The SmartErgoBase stand provides 150 mm height adjustment, plus or minus 90-degree pivot, 180-degree swivel, and -5 to 30-degree tilt, while the 100 x 100 VESA pattern supports monitor arms. Sustainability metrics support corporate reporting: ENERGY STAR 8.0, EPEAT, TCO Certified Edge, 85% post-consumer recycled plastic, and PowerSensor presence detection that cuts energy use by up to 70% when users step away. TUV Eye Comfort certification with flicker-free operation and LowBlue Mode reduces fatigue over long workdays. Pair it with conferencing peripherals and commercial displays from the Philips collection at Creation Networks.
