Philips 223V5L — 21.5" FHD Monitor, 60Hz, HDMI/VGA
The Philips 223V5L is a 21.5" Full HD flat monitor built for everyday desks. Philips' own datasheet lists the panel as TFT-LCD without stating VA, IPS or TN, so this page states TFT-LCD rather than guessing the panel family. Brightness is 250 cd/m² with a 1000:1 typical static contrast ratio, and SmartContrast adds a dynamic mode on top. One HDMI input and one VGA input cover a current laptop or an older desktop, the stand tilts, and a 100 x 100 mm VESA mount takes a standard arm.
Quick Glance
Key Features
Full HD TFT-LCD, 1000:1 Contrast
Philips' datasheet lists this as a TFT-LCD panel at 1920 x 1080 with a 1000:1 typical static contrast ratio and 250 cd/m² brightness; SmartContrast adds a dynamic boost for mixed-brightness content. The datasheet does not name a VA, IPS or TN sub-type, so none is claimed here.
SmartContrast and sRGB Colour
SmartContrast technology adjusts backlight and contrast dynamically for deeper blacks in dark scenes, and sRGB colour support keeps everyday colours consistent. The panel is mercury-free and RoHS compliant.
Tilt Stand and 100 x 100mm VESA
The stand tilts to a comfortable angle, and a standard 100 x 100 mm VESA mount takes a desk arm or wall bracket when more adjustment is needed. At 2.61 kg with its stand, it is light and easy to reposition.
Detailed Specifications
Specifications as published in Philips' official 223V5LHSB/11 datasheet. Panel sub-type (VA/IPS/TN), warranty terms and a full box-contents list are not stated on this datasheet and are left out rather than assumed.
Need-to-Know
- The AtomOffice legacy title and handle for this model claim a VA panel. Philips' own 223V5LHSB/11 datasheet states the panel type as TFT-LCD and never uses the term VA anywhere on the sheet, so this page states TFT-LCD only and does not claim VA. The 170°(H)/160°(V) viewing angle is also narrower than the wider, symmetrical angles more typically specified for VA or IPS panels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Philips' own datasheet for this exact model (223V5LHSB/11) lists the panel type simply as TFT-LCD and does not state VA, IPS or TN anywhere on the sheet. An older AtomOffice listing called it VA, but that is not confirmed by the manufacturer's own specification, so this page states TFT-LCD rather than a panel family Philips has not confirmed.
One HDMI input with HDCP support and one VGA (analog) input, with audio passed through the HDMI connection. There is no DisplayPort or USB on this model.
No. Philips' datasheet for this model does not list Adaptive-Sync, AMD FreeSync or NVIDIA G-Sync, so this is a standard fixed-refresh 60Hz monitor rather than a variable-refresh display.
Yes. It has a standard 100 x 100 mm VESA mount that fits most monitor arms and wall brackets. The included stand only tilts, so an arm is the way to add height or swivel adjustment.
