Monitor PHILIPS 221V8A/00, 21.5", VA, FHD 1920x1080, 75Hz, 4ms, VGA, HDMI

PHILIPS 221V8A/00 is a 21.5" VA monitor for general use, which comfortably handles everyday tasks, office work, and light gaming. It combines FHD 1920 x 1080 resolution with a 75 Hz refresh rate, so the image is smoother than classic 60 Hz models. The VA panel and static contrast of 4000:1 provide deeper blacks and more saturated tones compared to typical TN panels. The Anti-Glare coating and wide viewing angles of 178°/178° help prevent annoying reflections and washout if you are not sitting exactly in the center.

What you get: A 21.5" diagonal in 16:9 format is convenient for a standard desk – it does not take up much space, and the FHD resolution is fully sufficient for office work, multimedia, and browsing. The 75 Hz frequency plus a 4 ms response time provide noticeably smoother motion in menus and games compared to 60 Hz, without chasing extreme gaming specs. The VA panel with 4000:1 static contrast helps in dark scenes, films, and series – less “gray” black, more detail in the shadows. The brightness of 200 cd/m2 is perfectly fine for working in a room without strong direct sunlight. Thanks to D-Sub and HDMI, you can connect it to both older and newer computers without dealing with adapters.

• Screen with a 21.5" diagonal in 16:9 format – a practical size for an office desk, home computer, or second monitor.
• FHD 1920 x 1080 resolution – standard detail for clear text, documents, and video without blurring.
• VA panel with 4000:1 static contrast – deeper black tones and better reproduction of dark scenes compared to basic panels.
• 75 Hz refresh rate and 4 ms response time – smoother cursor movement, scrolling, and dynamics in games.
• Anti-Glare coating and wide angles of 178°/178° – fewer reflections and a more stable image when viewing from the side.
• LED backlight and 200 cd/m2 brightness – sufficient for a normally lit room without straining your eyes with excessive light.
• D-Sub and HDMI interfaces – easy connection to both old office machines and modern GPUs.

It is suitable if you are looking for a budget monitor for general use – office work, remote learning, films, and more casual gaming at FHD. If you are a fan of super high refresh rates and competitive shooters, 75 Hz might feel limiting, but for casual games, they are fully sufficient. The 21.5" size is also more for compact setups, not for a cinema experience from the sofa.

The combination of a VA panel, 75 Hz, and FHD in this size makes the PHILIPS 221V8A/00 a balanced solution for daily work and multimedia. You simply plug it in via HDMI or D-Sub and are ready to use it without unnecessary complications.
