What's a Philips Momentum monitor?
Why a Philips Momentum monitor?
The Momentum monitors are part of the Philips gaming series. They have a 144Hz refresh rate. Thanks to this, you can game with smooth images. This is useful for shooters for example, because you can see opponents move quickly and still see them sharply. Thanks to the low response time of the Philips Momentum monitors, you're not bothered by blurry images when you move fast. There are also Momentum monitors for console gaming, so you can connect your PlayStation or Xbox.
What should you keep in mind per game genre?
We distinguish between 3 different genres: shooters and racing games, open world games, and strategy games. For shooters and racing games, the refresh rate is the most important specification. Choose the 34M2C8600/00 with 175Hz refresh rate, for example. You can also use this monitor for strategy games thanks to the large 34-inch size. It's best to play open world games with sharp images. The 32M1N5800A/00 is a good choice thanks to the 4K resolution.
Most important features
In addition to the high refresh rate, good image quality, and good resolution, the Momentum monitors are also large. Thanks to this, you can see more of the playing field. Choose a curved model, so you're totally immersed in your game. There are also Momentum monitors with Ambiglow. These screens project light effects behind the monitor that are similar to the colors on the screen. This provides an immersive experience. Your eyes also get less tired, because the transition from light to dark is more smooth.
