Color accuracy, HDR 400, 5120 x 1440 resolution, Windows Hello webcam, VESA
HUGE size, No 4K
If you need an ultrawide monitor, have space for such a huge display, and don't mind missing out on G-Sync technology for a little gaming on the side, the Philips 499P9H is a fantastic PC monitor. Not only does it boast excellent color accuracy out of the...

Abstract: That'll do. Right. This is a “SUPER ULTRAWIDE”. It's 32:9, 5120 x 1440, and it's HUUGE.For those that don't know, normal ultrawide monitors have a 21:9 ratio, so a resolution of 3440×1440 (which, i know, isn't actually 21:9, it's 21.5:9 but lets just forg...

It's really, really wide, Makes running two inputs side-by-side very possible, Highly immersive, with edges beyond your peripheral vision, Alternatives with same 32:9 aspect more expensive, Decent level of brightness, Comprehensive, cutting-edge selection
Colour not as accurate as you would want in a screen this price, 60Hz refresh and 5ms pixel response aren't ideal for gaming
The Philips Brilliance 499P9H is a whopper of a screen, and as our first look at this 32:9 format it gains from the wow factor of its incredible width. However, it won't be alone as other manufacturers have monitors this size on the roadmap or released al...
The huge width and resolution of the Brilliance 499P9H are undoubtedly a boon for plenty of work scenarios: there's lots of space for applications, and it will be easier to work on this panel than on an inconsistent multi-monitor setup. You get good USB c...
Abstract: This 49" screen is the biggest we've played with yet - but just how practical is the monitor for creatives to use instead of gamers? When we first heard about the gargantuan Philips 499P9H monitor back in January, we had two burning questions: how practi...
Lacking colour accuracy and gamut coverage compared to other monitors, HDR is subpar, Poor uniformity

Sleeker than multiple monitors, Bright panel with good colour accuracy, 32:9 aspect ratio great for productivity, Integrated multi-client KVM, Convenient USB-C docking, Windows Hello face recognition, Useful stereo speakers
Poor-quality webcam, Basic HDR credentials, Software support could be better
There's a lot to consider when summing up the Philips Brilliance 499P9H, so let's get the obvious out of the way first; if you're looking for a mega-wide gaming monitor, this isn't it. Should silky, ghost-free gameplay be your main priority, turn your att...

Huge widescreen design, Vast resolution, Great basic benchmark results, Plenty of ports
Poor in some colour gamuts, Inconsistent uniformity, Some design issues, Very expensive
The Philips Brilliance 499P9H does have a lot going for it: the 32:9 widescreen and huge resolution do a good job of replacing multi-monitor setups in plenty of situations, there's loads of connectivity, and its basic contrast, colour accuracy and sRGB...
