State-of-the-Art Technology: Philips G-line 144Hz Gaming Display

Tweet

Welcome to a new age of gaming monitors. Smart and savvy gaming with the new monitor display.

MMD, a leading display technology company and brand licensing partner of Philips Monitors, is proud to introduce the Philips G-line 144Hz Gaming Display – a monitor display that gives gamers everywhere the edge to surpass the competition. 

The Philips G-line 144Hz Gaming Display is designed for dominance in three main areas: smooth visual function, comprehensive customization options and extensive connectivity.

When it comes to graphics and performance specifications, the computer gaming market is without doubt one of the most demanding. Small variations in specifications can lead to differences in performance that are enough to draw the line between victory and defeat when playing at a high level.

The Philips 144Hz Gaming Display provides a range of enhancements and features designed to give gamers a more immersive experience and provide a convincing advantage over the opposition.

This state-of-the-art technology shows how the advanced Philips gaming display redraws the screen upto 144 times per second for ultra smooth, brilliant images. SmartFrame helps you highlight specific screen area. Special gaming pre-sets and remote Smart Keypad keeps you in control.

Main features :

- 144Hz screen refresh rate, ensuring ultra-smooth visuals that capture every little detail by redrawing the screen up to 144 times per second, effectively 2.4 times faster than standard displays. 

- Pre-set FPS, RTS and Racing settings then allow users to customize their experience in ways that are specifically suited to different types of game.

- Smart Frame boosts the gain level of RGB in a selected area where users may expect enemies to appear in-game

- Most suitable for both FPS and RTS games. 

For those who wish to practise their gaming skills on different size screens, the Smart Size function adjusts the display size and aspect ratio to simulate 10 common monitor sizes down to 17”, ensuring perfect preparation for competition venues.

Different game scenarios may require different display configurations for optimal performance. The specially designed Remote Smart Keypad is a separate remote controller that enables users to instantly switch between two personalized gaming pre-sets and navigate the full on-screen settings menu.

Immersive gaming experience at your fingertips

Watching digital content or playing games on a smartphone is seldom as immersive as a full computer or TV experience, confined by limited battery life and the significantly smaller screen. Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) solves this problem by conveniently allowing users to connect compatible smartphones or other mobile electronic devices to the monitor for a more rewarding experience. The MHL connection also charges the device during use, enabling unlimited entertainment without requiring a separate charger.

A range of connectivity options are provided thanks to Philips Smart Connect, including Dual Link DVI, DisplayPort and universal HDMI, enabling enjoyment of all digital sources, with high-resolution uncompressed video and audio content.

The Philips 144Hz Gaming Display also provides a convenient 4-port USB 3.0 hub, supporting faster data transfers and superior smartphone charging. USB 3.0 features a range of impressive advantages over USB 2.0, with synchronous data transmission and a full duplex interface for significantly improved speed, and nearly double the power supply. With a data rate of 5Gbps, USB 3.0 is able to perform 10 times faster than USB 2.0.

Brilliant Performance and Design

SmartImageGAME settings fine-tune response time, contrast, colour saturation and more, to optimize the display for different game genres. Smart Response ensures image quality is always at its best with 1ms refresh for smoother and faster gaming.

As is the norm with Philips monitors, design is simple and unobtrusive, with subtle stylish elements that suit it to any home decor. The monitor features a red metallic trim strip and gunmetal matte black base plate. The Smart Keypad design, inspired by the curvature of the stand, presents an edgy look and feel.

Availability

The Philips G-line 144Hz Gaming Display 242G5DJEB comes in 24” screen size and will be available in the Asia Pacific region.

About MMD 

MMD is a wholly owned company of TPV established in 2009 through a brand license agreement with Philips. MMD exclusively markets and sells Philips branded LCD displays worldwide. By combining the Philips brand promise with TPV’s manufacturing expertise in displays, MMD uses a fast and focused approach to bringing innovative products to market.

Healthway Medical, the country’s trusted and most preferred network of mall-based clinics, celebrated National Wellness Day on June 20, 2014, together with the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP).

Healthway Medical joined PMAP in the movement to create a fit and healthy working environment for employees through a day that walked and talked everything about wellness. With a program that consisted of a learning session on work-life balance, followed by a workout Zumba session, Healthway stressed the importance of holistic wellness.

“Healthway Medical has always been an advocate of wellness,” says Carmie de Leon, Healthway Medical vice president for Sales and Marketing. 

“Today’s exercises will help our employees stay healthy and productive in and out of the workplace,” she adds. 

Healthway Medical’s National Wellness Day celebration started with a short lecture from Physical Therapy Head, April Faraon, on Workplace Ergonomics. The talk emphasized the need to be healthy and active as well as shared different exercises employees can do even in the workplace.

The session also included a demonstration of PMAP’s 7-minute Wellness Moment, which involves stretching or self-massage, followed by prayer or meditation, dancing, jogging, or jumping in place, and clapping, laughing, and sharing handshakes with colleagues. 

PMAP encouraged both member and nonmember companies to create a video of their employees doing the exercise simultaneously on June 21 at exactly 3 pm to create a worldwide wellness movement.

After the learning session, the participants joined in on a thrilling Zumba dance class, which Healthway Medical employees have been doing three times a week to show their consistent efforts in promoting health and wellness.

For the past 10 years, Healthway Medical has been working with PMAP to actively improve workplace wellness through career development forums and training programs. 

“Healthway Medical has always been in the frontier of promoting health and wellness in the workplace,” says Mitch Guce, PMAP’s trustee for Fellowship and Wellness. “They have always been an avid supporter of the health and wellness programs of PMAP.”

This partnership between Healthway Medical and PMAP aims to encourage more individuals to not only celebrate National Wellness Day every third Friday of June but also to empower them to take health and wellness principles and apply them in their homes and workplaces.

Zsa Zsa Padilla shares her past experiences to the talented kids of Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp 3

Tweet

Zsa Zsa Padilla is a veteran actress, TV host, singer, and a true Philippine icon with more than 30 years of experience, but she has a new title to add under her belt - Singing mentor for Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp 3. 

The divine diva, shares her past experiences to talented kids of the present for an exceptional future.

Zsa Zsa, who was recently unveiled as one of the top caliber mentors of the show, will be taking on the responsibility of mentoring this year’s batch of talented preschoolers. Together with a panel of esteemed mentors: choreographer and G-Force director, Georcelle Dapat-Sy, and world-class television and film actress, Angel Locsin, Zsa Zsa will be guiding chosen preschoolers through singing workshops.

For 25 years, Promil Pre-School has been well known for talent development, raising awareness for parental participation, proper guidance and good nutrition as factors that play major roles in bringing preschoolers to their full potential. The Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp is one of Promil Pre-school’s advocacies, in which the talents of Filipino children nationwide are engaged. “It’s exciting to be part of something that recognizes and appreciates talent at a young age.” Zsa Zsa shares that the show is something that brings back memories of how she started as an artist.

Nurturing talent in your formative years

The divine diva today can automatically command the attention of any room she enters, but the singer reveals that it wasn’t always like that. She started out as a shy child who only got to sing in front of her family. “I grew up in a compound where we all lived close to each other,” she recalls. “When my uncles would get together in the late afternoons, they’d get the guitar and they’d ask me to sing.”

Zsa Zsa, together with her cousin whom she grew up with, Gino Padilla, learned to harness their skills while doing duets to entertain their uncles. “I always knew that I love singing. Even as a child, when I’d hear a song on the radio, I would sing it immediately. I had fast recall and my family noticed that about me,” she says. “They would ask me to learn a piece, and then I’d perform it for them. I was the entertainment. Ganun ako nahasa (That’s how I was trained)." 

While she knew she had the talent, it was her family that allowed her to gain her confidence in front of a crowd. “Singing for my uncles, that’s really my first memory of my musical background. Allowing me to sing for them was their way of nurturing my talent.” 

Through Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp, Zsa Zsa hopes to develop the raw talent of the chosen preschoolers. “These kids are curious and eager to learn, but you need to guide them while they’re still young and sensitive to change. You need to show them that they’re capable, because they’ll really take that with them as they grow up and develop their talents.”

It’s not always in the genes, but also in the environment

Though Zsa Zsa’s parents weren’t musical people, she was able to master her craft because of her exposure to music through her family. While both her daughters, Karylle and Zia, are musically inclined, she credits not just the genes, but also their environment growing up. “Karylle was exposed to the entertainment industry at a young age. During that time, she was much more interested in ballet, but she’d see me host for a popular show and she’d just take it all in. We knew she could sing, and eventually because of all the exposure to it, singing just became second nature for her.”

This is why Zsa Zsa believes that getting kids on shows like the Promil Pre-School i-Shine Camp will give them the right exposure so they can dream big early, and learn how to pursue these dreams early. “These kids are lucky because there’s a program available like the i-Shine Talent Camp. At a young age, they’ll already be exposed to the music industry, which will really help them develop to be artists,” she shares. “Promil Pre-School has provided a venue for kids that love singing, dancing, and acting to really work at their craft.”

Proper motivation to reach their full potential

Having Zsa Zsa on board is going to be a treat for the Promil Preschool i-Shine finalists, because this means they are going to be the first who will get valuable training and mentoring from a pillar in the country’s musical industry.

It will be a personal challenge for the Zsa Zsa to be firm and honest, but still encouraging with the way she guides the preschoolers. “They're very young and sensitive. They would take everything you say to heart,” she says. The first-time singing mentor plans to add a mother’s touch to her mentoring style. “It’s important to boost their confidence, but still making sure that they properly learn the craft,” she adds.

Zsa Zsa, despite the success she’s earned with the music world, also wants to share her hardships with her mentees.

“These kids really come from all types of backgrounds. I also want them to learn that getting to your dreams entails battling the odds and persistence through hardship,” she says.

 “The kids are eager to learn about the industry, and it will be my responsibility to show them the ropes, to share with them as much as I know, including the challenges that come with it.” 

While the competition might be tough, Zsa Zsa is confident that with proper guidance and nutrition, the newest batch of i-Shiners will all prove to be stars.

Catch Zsa Zsa and the rest of the Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp 3 mentors, Georcelle Dapat-Sy and Angel Locsin, on ABS-CBN.

Hosted by Dimples Romana, Matteo Guidicelli, and Xian Lim, the Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp 3 is giving away over Php 1 million worth of prizes and a contract form ABS-CBN and Promil Pre-School to the grand winner.
