CES 2014: Philips reveals 28-inch 4K Ultra HD monitor

Kicking things off for CES 2014, which doesn't officially begin tomorrow, is an announcement of a new 28-inch 4K Ultra HD monitor from Philips. Appropriately named the "PhilipsUltraClear Display," the monitor combines 4K UHD high resolution with a color depth of 1.07 billion colors.

"Whether you require extremely detailed information for CAD-CAM solutions, use 3D graphic applications or are a financial wizard working on huge spreadsheets, this Philips display will provide UltraClear 3840×2160 pixel images to meet the visual demands of the most sophisticated power user," Philips boasts.

"The 28-inch monitor (model 288P6) is also ideal for those seeking superb onscreen clarity and color accuracy for personal applications, and includes built-in stereo speakers for multimedia and MHL technology for easy mobile device connectivity."

The UltraClear Display comes equipped with HDMI, DisplayPort, Dual-link DVI and VGA SmartConnect ports, and also features MultiView functionality which allows users to work with multiple devices (like PC and laptop) side-by-side simultaneously. Another feature is SmartErgoBase, which allows the monitor to be lowered down almost to desk level for a comfortable viewing angle.

Below are official specs for the UltraClear Display which is expected to be available in spring 2014 for $1,199.99.
