Philips Brilliance 241P4QPYEB

IPS screen with UHD resolution ; High pixel density ; Excellent sRGB color coverage ; Ergonomically superior stand ; USB hub and built-in speakers ; Four-year warranty

Buttons for OSD control are less than ideal

Chock-full of features and shining with solid brightness and color coverage, the Philips Brilliance 279P1 is an excellent entry in the growing category of docking-station monitors.

UHD resolution ; Very bright ; Height, tilt, swivel, and pivot control ; USB-C for data transfer and power delivery ; Ethernet ; In effect, contains a built-in docking station

Tiny OSD buttons

The Philips Brilliance 272P7VUBNB is a very bright productivity monitor with a built-in docking station that does well with still and moving images.

Immense ultra-wide screen with 5K horizontal resolution. Bright image. Good color fidelity. Supports HDR. USB-C power delivery. Built-in KVM switch.

On the pricey side. Buttons, instead of joystick, for OSD control.

Bottom Line: The Philips Brilliance 499P9H offers a winning combination of a gigantic, ultra-wide curved screen—shining with a bright, vivid image—and extras like a Windows Hello-compatible webcam and a built-in KVM switch.

Versatile, high-resolution wide screen. Good image quality. Memory-card reader in front panel.

No mute button on front panel for built-in speakers. Printed documentation and manual on CD are sparse but adequate.

More LCD display reviews:

Excellent image quality; ergonomic adjustability; USB hub; optional software for monitoring over a network; easy-to-navigate onscreen menu.

Expensive; clunky pivoting action; disappointing DVD playback.

The 23-inch wide-screen Philips Brilliance 230WP7 display performs quite well and offers businesses some useful extras, but its offerings are too sparse to justify its high price.

Effective widescreen design ; Great contrast and sRGB quality ; Broad feature set

Widescreen is divisive ; Has uniformity issues ; Can’t handle AdobeRGB or HDR

The Philips Brilliance 439P9H’s widescreen design is a double-edged sword, but this screen does serve up great sRGB image quality and has a broad range of features

Stunning 49in width.

Expensive.

The Philips Brilliance 498P9Z delivers huge super ultrawide gaming capabilities. There are gaming features missing in the OSD, but the core capabilities make this an extremely competent jack-of-all trades – if you can afford it.

Outstanding whites ; Blazing brightness ; Support for multiple PCs ; Robust port choices

Overly cool default colour temperature
