Frequently asked questions

What does the warranty cover?

Our warranty covers all hardware faults, but please note it doesn’t cover accidental damage or software issues. However, we’re here to help with technical support for those matters!

What is a refurbished device?

A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

Unlike used items, which lack guarantees and rely solely on the seller's word regarding condition, refurbished devices come with assurance of quality and reliability.

What payment options are available?

We offer a variety of payment options to make your shopping experience as convenient as possible! You can pay using all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, Afterpay, Zip Pay, and PayPal. If you prefer, we also accept bank deposits and even cash for in-store purchases!

Description

Philips 243V5 23.6-Inch Full HD Monitor — MVA Panel, HDMI, DVI, VGA

The Philips 243V5 delivers a 23.6-inch Full HD viewing experience with MVA panel technology, providing wide 178-degree viewing angles and consistent colour reproduction across the entire screen. With HDMI, DVI-D, and VGA inputs, it connects to virtually any desktop, laptop, or entertainment device. Built-in stereo speakers remove the need for external audio. Professionally tested by Reboot IT with a 12-month warranty.

Key Benefits

  • Full HD 1920×1080 MVA display — Sharp, detailed image across 23.6 inches with 16.7 million colour depth and MVA's characteristic deep blacks and consistent off-axis colour accuracy
  • Wide 178° viewing angles — MVA panel technology maintains consistent image quality when viewed from the side, ideal for shared workspaces or multiple viewers around a single screen
  • Three video input options — HDMI (digital), DVI-D with HDCP (digital), and VGA (analogue) support both modern and legacy computers, graphics cards, and media devices without adapters
  • SmartContrast dynamic technology — 10,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio automatically adjusts backlight intensity to content, delivering deeper blacks during dark scenes and brighter whites in document work
  • Built-in stereo speakers with headphone output — Eliminates the need for external speakers for video calls, media playback, and system audio; headphone jack enables private listening
  • Energy-efficient W-LED backlight — Mercury-free construction with 22.4W typical power consumption reduces running costs and environmental impact during extended daily use

Performance in Use

The 243V5 is a practical workhorse for home offices, student setups, and general business workstations. The 23.6-inch screen size sits in a productive sweet spot — large enough to run two document windows side by side without squinting, while still fitting comfortably on a standard desk. Text rendering at 1080p is crisp for spreadsheets, email, and document work.

The MVA panel's 178-degree viewing angles make it noticeably better than TN alternatives when the screen is positioned off-centre or viewed by multiple people simultaneously. Colour consistency holds well across the panel surface, which matters for anyone doing light photo or graphic work alongside standard office tasks. The 8ms response time is adequate for office use and casual media consumption.

The VGA input is useful for connecting older desktops or laptops without digital outputs, while HDMI enables clean connection to modern machines and gaming consoles for dual-purpose desktop and entertainment setups.
