Philips Monitors' B2 Range
Scalable Display Solutions for UK Education
Building from the foundation
The Philips B2 range provides a clear progression path for varying educational demands, ensuring every learning environment has appropriate technology.
Essential performance: 24B2N2200
For classrooms, computer labs and offices, the 24B2N2200 delivers reliable Full HD performance. The 24-inch IPS display offers excellent viewing angles for collaborative learning, whilst the 120 Hz refresh rate ensures smooth performance.
Legacy device support remains crucial. The 24B2N2200 provides VGA connectivity alongside HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2, ensuring compatibility with older equipment. The tilt-adjustable stand offers basic positioning, whilst built-in 2W stereo speakers eliminate external audio needs. TÜV Rheinland Eyesafe-certified SoftBlue technology and Flicker-Free performance protect students during extended screen time.
Enhanced functionality: 24B2N3200J
The 24B2N3200J adds the SmartErgoBase with 150 mm height adjustment plus tilt, swivel and pivot functionality, accommodating different users throughout the school day. The ultra-slim bezel design suits multi-monitor setups.
Connectivity expands with a 4-port USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub (5Gbps), creating a practical docking solution. VGA, HDMI 1.4, and DisplayPort 1.2 ensure legacy compatibility, whilst Smart Link Sync automatically synchronises brightness and colour across displays, which is quite valuable for digital media and design studios. The 24-inch Full HD IPS panel maintains 120 Hz refresh with 2W speakers.
Professional clarity: 27B2N3500J
Secondary schools, sixth forms and FE colleges benefit from the 27B2N3500J’s Quad HD resolution (2560 × 1440). The increased screen real estate thanks to the larger size (27-inch) and higher resolution (QHD) supports demanding coursework in graphic design, video editing and data analysis.
The SmartErgoBase retains full 150 mm height adjustment with tilt, swivel, and pivot. Connectivity evolves with dual HDMI 2.0 ports and DisplayPort 1.2 (no VGA due to higher resolution). The 4-port USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub (5Gbps) provides peripheral connectivity, with 2W speakers. The 27-inch IPS panel maintains 120 Hz refresh rate for smooth motion.
