Manufacturer qualifications and test conditions
Philips 34M1C5500VA/01Radius of the arc of the display curvature (mm) The maximum resolution works for DP input only. For best output performance, please always ensure that your graphic card is capable of achieving the maximum resolution and refresh rate of this Philips display. Response time value equal to SmartResponse MPRT adjusts the brightness for blur reduction, so the brightness cannot be adjusted while MPRT is turned on. To reduce motion blur, the LED backlight will strobe in time with the screen refresh rate, which may cause a noticeable change in brightness. MPRT is a gaming-optimised mode. Turning on MPRT may cause noticeable screen flickering. It is recommended to turn this mode off when you are not using the gaming function.

Radius of the arc of the display curvature (mm) The maximum resolution works for DP input only. For best output performance, please always ensure that your graphic card is capable of achieving the maximum resolution and refresh rate of this Philips display. Response time value equal to SmartResponse MPRT adjusts the brightness for blur reduction, so the brightness cannot be adjusted while MPRT is turned on. To reduce motion blur, the LED backlight will strobe in time with the screen refresh rate, which may cause a noticeable change in brightness. MPRT is a gaming-optimised mode. Turning on MPRT may cause noticeable screen flickering. It is recommended to turn this mode off when you are not using the gaming function.
