Philips 27E1N5600HE: A monitor can be “all-in-one” too

Conclusion

Although we have taken a break from the pandemic for a few months, the home office trend is not likely to go away any time soon. Regardless of whether you work from home or an office, the need for online meetings continues to grow, and everyone is familiar with the hassle of setting up cameras and speakers before a call. But what if everything you needed was part of the monitor and you could also conveniently unlock your computer with your face?

Conclusion

Philips 27E1N5600HE is an interesting monitor for home use but also for the office, which you can use especially in today’s era of online meetings, thanks to the integrated camera with microphones. In addition, it will also serve for unlocking via Windows Hello, which is also a useful feature if you need to lock your computer for security reasons.

The monitor will also please owners of laptops with a USB-C connector, who will appreciate the ability to dock using a single cable for both charging and image transfer, and among other things, they will also get the four USB ports that the monitor offers for connecting peripherals.

Although the 27E1N5600 is not presented as a graphics or gaming monitor, it performed above average in the panel quality tests. Colour rendering and accuracy are very good, as is response time or display uniformity. Even the brightness exceeded the presented value, although you can’t use this monitor for HDR.

I also praise the joystick control, the presence of speakers and, above all, the excellent positioning options. All in all, this is a very good package that has no obvious negatives.
