Philips 242B1TC – 24" Full HD 10-Point Touch Monitor

Product Overview

The Philips 242B1TC is a 24-inch Full HD touch screen monitor built for interactive workstations, point-of-sale counters, kiosks, and collaboration desks. Its SmoothTouch projected capacitive surface registers 10 simultaneous touch points with palm rejection, giving operators natural, fluid control of Windows touch applications. The anti-glare 23.8-inch IPS panel keeps text and imagery legible from 178-degree angles, while the articulating SmartStand tilts from upright to nearly flat for annotation and counter use. TUV Eye Comfort certification and ENERGY STAR 8.0 compliance make it a sound choice for all-day commercial duty.

Product Description

Integrators and IT teams specifying an interactive display for reception desks, retail checkout, hospitality ordering, or training stations will find the Philips 242B1TC touch monitor covers a wide range of touch-driven deployments at a desktop price. The Advanced In-Cell Touch construction keeps the bezel slim and the touch layer close to the image for accurate, responsive input, and the 3H-hardness anti-glare coating stands up to constant finger contact in public-facing use.

The 1920 x 1080 IPS panel runs up to 75Hz with 250 cd/m² brightness, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and 102% sRGB coverage. Touch connects to the host PC over a single USB cable, and the integrated USB 3.2 hub adds three downstream ports (one BC 1.2 fast charge) for scanners, printers, or card readers at the point of sale. Video inputs cover legacy and current sources: VGA, HDMI 1.4, and DisplayPort 1.2. The Z-type SmartStand offers smooth height adjustment, tilt from -5 to 90 degrees, and a 0-70 degree folding range so the screen can lie nearly flat for signature capture or drawing. VESA 100 x 100 mm mounting supports kiosk enclosures and arms, and dual 2W speakers handle prompts and training audio. Flicker-free dimming, LowBlue Mode, and EasyRead protect operators across full shifts. Find companion displays in the Philips collection at Creation Networks.
