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 currentlylisted on both the UKandIreland versionsof Philips’ website. 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.Follow topics and authorsfrom this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Andrew LiszewskiGadgetsNewsTechMost PopularMost Popular‘Fuck you, Bambu’: How one private message could change the face of 3D printingGitHub faces a fight for its survival at MicrosoftThe new Flipper One is a pocket-sized Linux computerGoogle is launching its own version of OpenClawBungie gives up on DestinyThe Verge DailyA free daily digest of the news that matters most.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to ourTermsandPrivacy Notice.This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the GooglePrivacy PolicyandTerms of Serviceapply.Advertiser Content FromThis is the title for the native ad
