Key points

• is a senior reporter who’s been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2006, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid.
• 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.
