Business office users and professional users certainly don't need a display screen at work. In order to improve efficiency, they usually use a dual-screen display system: reading reference materials when processing documents, or editing pictures and videos when watching previews ... The biggest problem of the traditional dual-screen system composed of dual monitors is that there will be obvious black edges in the middle of the screen, and its use will be greatly limited. Now there is a Philips 499P9H 1 with a ratio of 32:9, which is equivalent to splicing two 27-inch 2K screens, which is naturally more efficient in office and professional applications.

When you see Philips 499P9H 1, you will be shocked by its 48.8-inch 32:9 large screen. After all, the screen length alone has reached 1 194mm, which is considered as a desktop giant, occupying almost the whole field of vision, and the visual experience is very shocking. In order to stabilize the display, Philips 499H 1 is equipped with a very wide base, and the hollow design is convenient for users to place small objects such as mobile phones, which reduces the occupation of desktop space. If two monitors are spliced together, the two monitor bases will take up more space, which will make the already tense office desktop worse. In addition, Philips 499P9H 1 also supports VESA wall hanging, which saves space when installed on the bracket.

Backward display

At the same time, the screen size of Philips 499H 1 is not small, and the base is wide, but it doesn't look heavy at all, which is mainly due to its design that won the iF Design Award and the Red Dot Award: the micro-border screen is equipped with a hollow base and bracket, and the low-key black and gray color scheme does not lose its texture, which makes it look calm, fashionable and light, and it is not embarrassing to put it in an office environment.

Generally, monitors with such a large screen size rarely use ergonomic brackets, and this configuration is very useful for professional users, so retaining ergonomic brackets has become a highlight of Philips 499H 1. Except that the screen can't rotate vertically because its length reaches 1 194mm, the screen part of the display supports the height adjustment of 130mm, as well as the inclination adjustment of-5 ~ 20 and-5 ~10, which is convenient for players to adjust to the most suitable viewing angle.

Display stand and base

The biggest problem of traditional dual-screen display system is that even if it is a micro-bezel display, there will still be a big black border in the middle of the dual screen, which can not display the content. In this way, the two screens are basically "going their own way" and will be restricted in use. This problem does not exist on Philips 499P9H 1. This 48.8-inch screen with a resolution of 5 120 1440 can be regarded as a seamless splicing of two 27-inch 2K screens with no black border in the middle, which can bring a brand-new office experience.

As a writer, I use Philips 499H 1 to process documents. At the zoom size of 100%, the whole screen can display up to 6 documents side by side. Even in the most commonly used zoom size 160% (larger fonts look more comfortable), you can display three pages side by side, and you don't need to switch back and forth and slide pages when comparing document contents, which is very easy to use. Moreover, the display screen area is large, and there is no black edge in the middle position. I can move all documents, web pages and chat software windows to the middle of the screen and browse the contents of multiple windows at the same time. When writing a manuscript, it is inconvenient to look up information, see parameters and communicate with colleagues.

In other applications, Philips 499H 1 can also perform well. For example, in video editing and image post-processing, the work interface can be better distributed, and multi-windows can achieve high efficiency. Shareholders can directly display multiple stock price charts in full screen without missing any details.

Display's Performance in the Application of Stock Trading

In addition to the application of dual-screen splicing, the performance of Philips 499H 1 is better, and this product can also bring surprises when using the MultiView multi-window function. When using the dual-channel signal PBP function on other 16:9 and 2 1:9 products, although the pictures output by different devices can be displayed on the same display, there will be an abnormal proportion of the pictures, and the use experience is difficult to guarantee, which is why the PBP function has not been popularized.

Using dual-channel signal PBP function on Philips 499P9H 1 will directly present two pictures with resolution of 2560 1440, which is the same as using two 27-inch 2K monitors respectively. The monitor also has a built-in KVM switch, which only needs a mouse and keyboard to control two computers respectively, which is really convenient to use.

Some users may worry that the screen of Philips 499H 1 is too long. In use, it is very troublesome to see the contents at both ends of the screen and turn the head back and forth. If two traditional 27-inch monitors are spliced, this is really a problem. However, the Philips 499H 1 display is a curved screen with a curvature of 1800R. Even if the curvature is not the smallest among curved screen products, thanks to the screen with the length of 1 194mm, the greater the proportion of the horizontal direction to the circumference, the greater the natural curvature.

The 32: 9 scale screen of Philips 499P9H 1 will be more efficient in business office and professional applications, but what about the image quality that such users also value?

The monitor adopts VA panel, the resolution is 48.8 inches 5 120 1440, and the PPI reaches 109, which can present fine pictures. There are 12 1%sRGB, 103%NTSC and 9 1% AdobeRGB color gamut coverage, and the color accuracy DeltaE 2 should also have a good performance in color reproduction.

We use SpyderX color calibrator to test it, and the sRGB color gamut is 100% (the highest value of the tester). In the color accuracy test of 48-color scheme, the average Delta E is only 0.82, which is in line with the positioning of a professional display. Next, try to play HD pictures and HD videos on Philips 499H 1. The color is transparent and gorgeous, and the details are still clear in the dark scene, so it is not a problem to deal with image processing and video post-editing.

100% sRGB color gamut

Philips 499H 1 has also passed the HDR 400 certification, which has the characteristics of global dimming and full-screen continuous maximum brightness of 450nits. When presenting HDR pictures and videos, it can present a higher contrast and a more layered picture, allowing players to see more details.

For a professional monitor such as Philips 499P9H 1, besides excellent display effect to meet the needs of professional applications and wide screen to ensure efficient office work, it also has rich expansion functions, which has brought obvious improvement in ease of use and experience.

There is a hidden pop-up camera at the top of the monitor, and the picture is very clear. There is no need to connect an additional camera when holding a video conference. More importantly, this camera also supports Windows Hello facial recognition, which can enter the operating system through facial recognition, making it convenient and safe to work. When not in use, the camera can be hidden to avoid revealing privacy. The product also has two built-in 5W speakers, which have sufficient volume, good resolution and clear voice. It is not only suitable for video conference, but also suitable for watching video content, so there is no need to equip the desktop with speakers, which saves desktop space.

Hidden camera

In the interface part, in addition to providing rich interfaces including 1 DP 1.4, two HDMI 2.0 and multiple USB interfaces, the biggest highlight of the interface part is the built-in USB 3. 1 Type-C docking station with the maximum output power of 65W, which can connect notebooks, mouse keyboards, network cables and so on, making the desktop more concise.

The rich interface of the monitor provides convenience for connecting various devices.

In order to protect users' eyes staring at the screen for a long time every day from the harm of stroboscopic light and blue light, Philips 499H 1 adopts DC dimming to completely eliminate stroboscopic light. In the low blue light mode, intelligent software can make the blue light band reach a safe range, reduce the output of harmful blue light, and bring comfortable eye experience.

Unlike similar high-end displays, which focus on high-quality images, Philips 499H 1 also provides excellent color gamut and color accuracy. On the basis of meeting the demanding requirements of professional users for image quality, the traditional dual-screen system with two 27-inch 2K monitors spliced directly will have a black border in the middle, which will greatly limit the pain of use. Pay attention to the seamless dual-screen display, which is more efficient and flexible to use. This feature is very attractive to financial personnel, designers, video editors, etc., who require high image quality and often need to handle multi-window tasks.

Of course, behind the excellent picture quality and efficient screen, the price of Philips 499P9H 1 is close to 13000 yuan, which is really not cheap. However, although this product is expensive, it is also worth the money, which is very suitable for high-end players who have high requirements for dual-screen systems.
