PHILIPS
Philips has just announced the launch of its latest 499P9H SuperWide monitor. This behemoth of a curved screen comes packing to VA, 48.8-inch panel. Although that's nothing new in the world of monitors, what is impressive about the 499P9H, is the feature set and the price, It's a 5120x1440 with a 60Hz refresh rate, and although we've already seen the likes of that from Dell, the 499P9H , comes in at £ 990 ($ 1,130), as opposed to £ 1016 ($ 1,350), and also packs in a few other spec changes and additions, that make it more than worth it.
Pumping out a colossal 7.37 million pixels (11-percent less than 4K screen), it's the equivalent of lining up two 27-inch side-by-side panels, removing the bezel, and running it all through a single cable. On top of that you get an 1800 R curvature, 178 ° viewing angle, HDCP 2.2 support, 5ms G2G response time as standard, high contrast popping VA colors, and HDR400 as well. Although that latter spec does come across a little underwhelming, given HDR's desire for more lumens, it's still a nice feature set for sure.
