Pros and cons

According to our monitor expert

Thanks to the DCI-P3 color space, you can edit photos and videos with realistic colors.
You can use multiple windows or programs at the same time on the super ultrawide screen.
The curved screen helps you work more ergonomically, so you’re less likely to get neck pain.
A super ultrawide monitor takes up a lot of space, so your desk needs to be large enough.
A VA panel has smaller viewing angles than other panel types.

Description

With the Philips 49B2U5900C/00, you can work with high color contrast when you edit photos and videos. This monitor covers the DCI-P3 color space, so you’ll see a wide range of colors. The super ultrawide 32:9 aspect ratio gives you the largest field of view. You can open multiple editing programs at the same time and won’t miss any details, since there aren’t any distracting bezels. The curved screen wraps around your field of view, so you don’t have to turn your head as much. This means your neck won’t get sore as quickly after a long work day. The swiveling stand makes it easy to quickly show your screen to colleagues. This is useful if you often work together.

Great monitor with bumpy purchase experience

big monitor
USB-C cable not included

Beautiful monitor. I use this for office work instead of 2 x 24 inches. Now I can do my work 'straight ahead' instead of always turning left or right. The very edge of the monitor is quite far away and for office work you end up a bit outside the ideal viewing angle and therefore you get some discoloration. The monitor is (also due to the larger beam) not very deep and therefore I have space for the monitor on a desk of 80 cm, my laptop in front of it and an external keyboard in front of it.

The webcam does work with Apple stuff, but the automatic connection of the 'busy' light etc. only works with Windows.

The sound of my laptop is much better than that of the monitor, so don't expect too much from it.

The specifications state that a USB-C to C/A is included. That was not included, and a display port cable is also not included. To connect my MacBook I bought a display port cable (based on previous reviews here). It transmits images at maximum resolution at 75Hz, but the displayport connection of the monitor is not able to supply power to the macbook. After a lot of hassle via Philips customer service, I finally found out that it only works on USB-C, but that cable is not included. Of course it is possible to connect both displayport + USB to the laptop, but I did not want that. Philips indicates that they cannot supply that cable either, but fortunately Coolblue does have it. In the end, it turns out that a thunderbolt 4 cable is needed that is suitable for 8K images. I have that in between now and it provides images at full resolution, maximum 60Hz. And therefore power delivery.

All's well that ends well, but it was with bumps.

Great screen for business use

Sound and Web cam in the screen are fine.
Ability to use 2 PCs simultaneously is very useful (KVM function)
Nice wide screen for everyday business use.

Works very well, lots of space to have multiple things open on one screen.
