Philips 499P9H

I bought the Philips 499P9H to upgrade my home office and to be able to work more efficiently. Specifically, I chose this monitor because it is the cheapest 49" monitor with 5120 x 1440 resolution (vs Dell UltraSharp 49 inch eg). This resolution gives you (even) more workspace compared to a 49" 1080p screen, more than enough pixels to get rid of everything! This screen is equivalent to two 27" 1440p monitors, but without a border in the middle. Note, once you're used to an ultrawide, you won't want to go back to the dual screen setup! I use the monitor daily and almost exclusively to work on (several Excels, remote desktops, documents, emails, ...). I connect my laptop through the USB-C cable that comes with the screen, the screen charges the laptop, so you don't need the charger of the laptop (the screen supplies 65 watts through the USB-C cable. most laptops have enough with this, but the Dell XPS 15 for example not). The screen has multiple USB connections and devices connected via the USB-C cable are detected on your PC via the screen. So the screen functions as a hub, which is very convenient. When you play a game on this monitor, the wide curved image ensures that you are completely immersed in the game, which is a nice experience. Playing a racing game on a monitor like this is very unique! Due to its refresh rate of 60Hz, it is not a monitor for the serious gamer. In terms of design, this monitor is an eye catcher. The sturdy metal stand has a luxurious look, just like the bottom edge of the screen. The lower edge is made of plastic, but has a brushed metal pattern and looks very neat. A nice extra with this monitor is the fold-out webcam that supports Windows Hello. He can therefore recognize your face and log in to Windows. Nice feature, I hadn't seen this before! The price made me think about this purchase for a while, so long that the screen was sold out at Coolblue! Luckily it was back in stock quickly and I ordered it right away. 999 euros for a monitor is expensive, especially while 2 monitors of 27" 1440p are (can be) cheaper, but in my opinion you certainly get a lot for this money. Just to name: less cable work, built-in hub, windows hello, no edge in the middle so you can effectively put something in the middle to focus on, high curve radius, ... Just to mention my negatives: There is very minimal backlight bleed, which is normal for a larger screen. I have not put this in the negatives because it is absolutely not noticeable in normal use. When connecting 2 PCs, after activating this function, the monitor shows the 2 inputs next to each other. This gave me problems with the resolution of 1 of the 2 PCs on the screen. Other than that, I haven't found any downsides so far. In short, I am very satisfied with this screen, it increases my efficiency and I always feel like crawling behind this monitor. They won't take this from me anymore. Small tip: if you opt for a 49-inch screen, make sure you install good window manager software. Personally, I use WindowGrid, it does exactly what I want, but that's personal preference!

Because of a lot of video editing and also database management a gigantic fine screen. You no longer have to scroll so much from left to right. Partly due to the resolution, this screen is very suitable for making 4KUHD video for Bluray. This really is a perfect screen for Media Specialists. Still need to save some money, but there will definitely be another one at my other workplace.

Is completely what I was looking for.
