“Philips 24B1D5600 Dual Screen Monitor: The Perfect Solution for Extended Screen Time”

the manufacturer Philips introduced a different monitor to the market, with two screens and aimed at those who work for hours in front of the computer, often needing to read a lot of documents during working hours.

The monitor 24B1D5600 Dual Screen looks normal at first glance. he has a 23.8″ IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 2,560×1,440 pixels, in addition to a refresh rate of 75 Hz. The highlight is the e-paper extra screenan “attachment” on the right side of the monitor com 13,3″ and resolution of 1,200×1,600 pixels. By comparison, it’s close to the screens of readers like Amazon’s Kindle.

As it is naturally a simpler and less powerful display, the idea is for it to be used for reading text: the screen is more energy efficient and also makes the eyes less tired due to its look, which simulates a sheet of paper and does not make the call “blue light”, which can disrupt the user’s sleep cycles.

The screen is also a solution for tighter rooms and no support for two screens, for example. Philips also suggests using the duo in offices and libraries at educational institutions.

The two monitors are connected via USB-C or by a connection DisplayPort. The application SmartRemote is responsible for pairing both monitors, allowing files opened on the computer to appear on the e-paper device, be enlarged or managed.

For now, the 24B1D5600 Dual Screen monitor is only sold on Asia by Philips, for an amount of US$ 620 (approximately BRL 3 thousand in direct currency conversion). There is no information about the commercialization of the device in other parts of the world.
