Pros and cons

According to our monitor expert
  • On the ultrawide monitor, you have 1.5 times more screen space than on a regular monitor.
  • Thanks to the QHD resolution, you can enjoy a sharp screen.
  • With the built-in USB-C port and KVM switch, you can organize your desk with 1 cable and easily switch between your connected devices.
  • A 40-inch ultrawide monitor takes up a lot of space, so make sure your desk is big enough.

Description

With the Philips 40B1U5600/00 40-inch ultrawide QHD USB-C monitor, you can enjoy a large overview of your work or watch movies in cinematic quality. The biggest advantage of the ultrawide ratio is the extra screen space. You can open both Photoshop and InDesign next to each other, and you won't have to switch windows. You can organize your entire desk with only 1 cable via the built-in USB-C port and KVM switch. The USB-C port transmits image signals, transfers data, and charges peripherals with 100W of power. With the KVM switch, you can easily switch between other connected devices. This way, you can switch from your laptop connected via USB-C to your desktop via HDMI. This allows you to keep a clear overview, and you won't have to switch cables anymore. You can tilt, turn, or adjust the monitor in height. You can assume an ergonomically sound posture as a result. The screen has both a built-in Philips LightSensor and a built-in PowerSensor. These 2 functions reduce power consumption by automatically adjusting the brightness, for example. In addition, you can hang your accessories on the hook. This way, you can keep your desk nice and tidy.

Clean image and minimalist set-up on desk

  • Headphone hanger can also collapse completely
  • Nice clarity and colors
  • Supplied USB-C cable charges laptop and transfers images

I chose this screen to work at home and still have a large screen so that I can have two windows next to each other like at work (it is best to enable 'snapping' in Windows Settings, it was off by default for me, and you have very quickly two 'maximized' windows next to each other as if you had two separate screens.

With the included USB-C cable (which is fairly short, but therefore handy) you can connect your laptop to the screen in a reasonably minimalist setup, which ensures image transfer and the screen also charges your laptop battery! My wireless keyboard and its USB receiver are now also in this screen, so everything is very clean on my desktop!

I looked online to see if the hanger on the left of the screen was collapsible: and yes! I don't use headphones/headset at home, so that bar is just collapsed into the screen to keep it minimalistic and I can't accidentally bump into it either :-)

Price-quality top

  • 120Hz refresh rate
  • Very bright, adjusts automatically
  • Can be used for multiple devices at the same time
  • So big without a curve takes some getting used to

After an unfortunate incident with my previous monitor (LG 34" curved ultrawide 75Hz USB-C IPS) I was looking for a new monitor with similar specifications, preferably for the same price or cheaper. Mainly used for home work, occasionally for gaming Ultimately ordered and tested this monitor and a more expensive LG Ultrafine 32" 4K IPS. Image quality itself from the LG was slightly better, largely due to the 4K resolution, but the available space due to the Ultrawide format of this monitor is much more convenient for me while working, the 120Hz refresh rate gives a noticeably smoother result than the classic 60Hz . I ultimately hung the monitor on the wall behind my desk to reduce the space between wall and monitor from +/- 18cm (with supplied monitor stand) to +/- 6cm (with wall mount, also purchased from Coolblue). All USB accessories (mouse, keyboard, headset, etc.) are connected to the screen, both fixed PC (via DisplayPort and USB-B connection) and laptop (USB-C) use it. Laptop even charges via the screen. After working on a Curved Monitor for several years, it takes some time to get used to a flat screen, especially of those dimensions, but you get used to it very quickly. Happy with the purchase!
