Pros and cons

According to our monitor expert

Work with sharp images thanks to the Quad HD resolution.
You can use multiple windows at the same time on the wide ultrawide screen.
The IPS panel shows bright colors even when you’re viewing it from an angle.
An ultrawide monitor takes up a lot of space, so your desk needs to be large enough.
Because the monitor doesn’t have a built-in webcam, you’ll need a separate one if you want to make video calls.

Description

With the Philips 40B1U5600/00, you can work in an organized way with multiple windows side by side. This monitor has a Quad HD resolution, so you see images almost twice as sharp as on a Full HD screen. Charts and text stay easy to read, even when you open a lot of windows. The ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio lets you open more programs next to each other, like Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop. The IPS panel provides a wide color gamut and broad viewing angles. This way, you can easily show a presentation to colleagues sitting next to you. The swiveling stand lets you quickly turn the screen toward your colleagues, which is useful if you often work together.

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!

Nice display

easy automatic switching from laptop to another laptop
very easy, infinitely adjustable in height

Beautiful screen with a sleek business design. It's handy that you can plug your mouse and keyboard into the screen, so that they no longer have to go to the laptop. I purchased this monitor for a new laptop, but the old laptop can still be used on it. However, the graphics are no longer that strong, so unfortunately it can only refresh the image at a maximum of 30Hz. This sometimes makes the movement of the mouse seem a bit jerky. It is no problem at all on the new laptop with a good graphics card. I went from 27 inches to this 40 inch, but you quickly get used to the size! I work a lot with CAD drawing software, so I really didn't want a curved screen. All drawn lines therefore remain nicely horizontal and vertical and are not deflected. Recommended.

great machine

beautiful image even at 50% brightness
Edit multiple apps at the same time.
All possible connections
Speakers are good but probably not for a real music freak.

I like it because I wanted to go bigger and with a high resolution.
