Its name might be dull and uninspired, but the Philips 24B2D5300 Business Monitor brings a novel feature I’ve never seen on a display before: screens on either side. The design will primarily benefit people who are constantly angling their computer screen so those on both sides of a desk can see it, like a car salesperson walking a buyer through configuration options or a doctor conferring with a patient. But there are some potential co-working applications, too.

Starting next month, the dual-sided monitor will be released in parts of Europe for £359. 99 (around $484), according to Digital Camera World. It’s currently listed on both the UK and Ireland versions of Philips’ website.

Industry Implications

A wider release has not yet been announced. The monitor’s ports, including a pair of both USB-C and HDMI ports, are located on the side of its swiveling base. Image: PhilipsFeaturing back-to-back 23.

8-inch LCD panels with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 at 120 Hz, the monitor can be connected to one or multiple devices using either a pair of power-delivering USB-C ports, or a pair of HDMI ports. In most scenarios it will be connected to a single computer with the same thing mirrored on both sides, but the dual displays can also be used as two extended displays with one side showing public-facing info and the other for private details. Repositioning the monitor could be tricky since it can’t be mounted to an articulated arm, but its base swivels 180-degrees so you can still spin it around to easily double-check what’s displayed on the other side.
