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](https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/tech/monitors/philips-just-unveiled-the-most-interesting-monitor-ive-seen-this-year)\. It’s currently[listed on both the UK](https://www.philips.co.uk/c-p/24B2D5300_00/business-monitor-lcd-monitor#see-all-benefits)and[Ireland versions](https://www.philips.ie/c-p/24B2D5300_00/business-monitor-lcd-monitor#see-all-benefits)of Philips’ website\. A wider release has not yet been announced\. [](https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/philips2.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&crop=0,0,100,100) Featuring 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 authors**from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates\. - Andrew Liszewski
