Is Super Ultrawide Too Wide? [Philips 499P9H Full Review] | The Tech Chap
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 чер 2024
- The Philips 49-inch SuperWide (499P9H) is HUGE! The equivalent of 2x 27-inch 1440p Monitors, this Super UltraWide Monitor is the ideal productivity monitor, and with a 70hz Refresh Rate & Adaptive Sync, is surprisingly good for games!

Hey Chaps! Quick update:
1) 11.1ms is COMBINED Response time & Input Lag.
2) 27 x 2 is obviously 54. Quick maths 😂
3) The monitor can still charge connected laptops when screen is in sleep mode, but not if screen is powered off.
4) i actually CRACKED the corner the monitor after finishing this review, it fell off the stand as I was adjusting it :( :( :(
noooo! :O great review tho.
I loved that secret webcam.
It’s placement is perfect that’s how webcam should be placed. 😅
It’s perfect 👌🏻 review.
Thank god you explained difference of 49-54 inch. 😅
Ouch! I'm sure Philips will replace it for you >_
Thanks, for the update! Lessons learned.
Ohhh......no
Probably you already figure that out but if not maybe that will help. The reason why the holes for fitting the monitor support are not properly aligned is because you placed the monitor facing down. And the plastic for the monitor flex a bit. If you try to attach the support the proper way is to do it in the vertical position. Hope that helps.
I am glad I found you; you are an excellent reviewer. I ger satisfied with your work. Thank you.
hi just wanted to say what great videos you present you have helped in so many of my decisions by giving great advice thank you for making these videos
best review!!
Great review! Thank you for that! Hope you enjoy your new monitor!

Manual:
1. "...keep the monitor face
down in the CUSHION for the base
installation."
Maybe the holes would match if done the "proper" way? Monitor not twisting, stretching etc..

They gave me 10 year warranty for $30 extra, i just call them, ultra good service!
EXACTLY: and that is why the screw holes were miss aligned....RTFM!
I got the Samsung C49RG90 which was pretty expensive (£1,100), and I had the same reaction as you when I saw the delivery guy trying to get the box out of his van. I was like "Oh god, I have made a huge mistake!" and it was to replace my two aging HP22" monitors.
It is IMMENSE, and it took a couple of days to really aclimatise myself to it, but after that I totally fell in love with the huge screen real estate.
As someone that uses a lot of timelines, (After Effects, Cubase, Premiere etc), it is a total godsend, particularly when you have lots of plugins open. I'm not really a gaming person, so I can't speak for that experience, but I would certainly go for one if you have a professional requirement like myself.
1:56 quick maths
27x2 inches = 52
Long maths
27x2 inches = 54
16 * 16 * x * x + 9 * 9 * x * x = 27 * 27, sqrt(32 * 32 * x * x + 9 * 9 * x *x) = 48, both 27 inches and 48 inches are diagonal, you can't just add 2 27inches.

Just the fact that the screw holes are mis-aligned tells me that they have cheaped out on production
They have to make compromises somewhere :-)

What did you bought, Ebay monitor? AOL productions...What is Philips now?
I have been using the Philips momentum 43" for almost a year now, apple build quality!
Windows is not ready for 10bit, apple is!
Never need the Ultra wide, why half sized?
FPS 75 max, HDR 1000, smooth enough to run PC titles too. NO THUNDERBOLT 3 support. 436M6
@Timmy P best quality control possible in 2019, TSMC is the problem? They all need them now, unable to produce, Trums Wall etc....
@@angelsv
He is saying he knows a brand that does better quality control, foxconn?? Why you cry weirdo shit, you noob hard in reading!!!!!
Most people love it, willing to pay for them, or need it.
UA-cam, only freaky people here.....white brand quality you need, China white brand crap, cheap people here....
NOOB @@angelsv, lol!
@lucas rem said "Windows is not ready for 10bit, apple is!"
I have been using true 10-bit/30-bit video and monitors on Windows for years. Apple Fanbois. :/
I have two of them. No screw alignment problems with either. I could only get one for myself if she got one also! :-) She does use her's to replace a dual monitor system for her work provided notebook. Actually a triple monitor system because a 3rd monitor was for her personal PC. Both now connected to the Philips. We've had mixed results with the KVM. It's not reliable and switches the Internet feed as well so had to direct connect each (faster than WiFi). And switching between them using the under monitor buttons is not easy.
Mine replaced a 4 x 27" 1080 IPS displays in a 2x2 configuration. Again two PC, 2 monitors each. I had purchased 4 replacement 27" 4k's. But last minute decided to go ultrawide screen. Very glad I did. Except screen assignment flexibility. But I've gone to just one PC now.
If you check the Quick Start guide, it mentions "Remote Control Unit (499P9H1)" None was supplied with either of mine. Yours? Anyone else? I contacted them and they say it is geographical and NA does not get them! It would make switching inputs and settings so much easier. Maybe if you and others also put some pressure on them they would at;east bring them in for purchase.
That's pretty cool, I'd be nervous about using it period without being able to screw it in to the stand securely but it looked like it did pretty good.
My problem is that when ever I try to run it as 2 monitors, it cant display 2 signals on the whole screen, it just makes 2 small screenn
Yep I have the same issue. I run a PS4 as a second input and thats fine on the second display but the monitor simply scales down its own display no mater what resolution i set it too.
I solved it. You need to go into windows resolution options and change ACTIVE resolution. (Google how to do it). After that, it all works fine.
have same problem change Active resolution but no luck... any know what to do ..thank you
Thanks for your review!
I also have a 21: 9 38 "monitor.
I do not want to give up the 1600 pixels in height. Better than more width.
very useful Mr tech chap! best from Amsterdam cosy west°side!
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MAN
as a graphic designer, i also learned to appreciate the convenience of an ultrawide screen. ok, you can also put 2 16: 9 monitors side by side, so I used to have it, but once widescreen, then always widescreen. playing RDR2 is now much more fun and draws you much deeper into the atmosphere. technically a great monitor, but unfortunately only 1 display port input and 2 * hdmi vice versa, I would have preferred ...
This is the dream of any person who works using multiple tabs, editing multiple documents, etc. I am a lawyer trainee and this is bomb. The *super* UW is a little too much but a regular ultra wide is just great.
That’s a Beautiful looking monitor! 👍🏻
Amazing! Great review.
Awesome review. Very helpful
great video..thanks. now in mid 2020 what is the best product on the market. Also can you get a mount that has a two monitor stack ?
3:35 i actually thought you were gonna put a 1660 on the desk ngl
When mounting the foot, the screen should always rest on the packageing it came with, not on a flat table! That might infact misalign the screwholes due to the pressure.
yes, I immediately realised that
I dont think its good for gaming..at least for some games .
He obviously didn't read the quick start instructions, it has the warning and shows the monitor in the packaging as you install the base. The manual says the exact same thing. I mean if you are going to do an unboxing video, maybe at least download the instructions so you have half a clue what you are doing before you start...just lazy writing/editing on his part.
Thats a pretty good looking screen...i love the setup
You just made my 21:9 3440x1440 look tiny in my eyes now.
Thanks.
Don't be cheap next time
Аитор Хара 😂 right
I got a 43UN700-B and it is the best monitor ever for eye protection, photoshop, and web development! I am super happy! I want to to buy another one for my husband! I did not like the experience with curve monitors I needed Space to program.
this is perfect when doing research papers! ordered one!!!!
Tom, how does it compare to Philips 48.8in 5K HDR. I think you reviewed that also?
Thanks
Hey uhm which chair are you using there? :)
Looks really great
The low-volume music in the background is the equivalent of a slightly-loose turtleneck around your neck all day..
Stand is fine on mine. You need vsync on to avoid tearing and it supports 75 hz
Hi, nice product introduction. Can you please share how to set multiview (2 device views side by side) full screen size? In your film, I saw you have shown one side windows view and the other side Mac OS view with full screen view. Please share how to set it up, thank you.
Looks like a decent monitor. I briefly had an LG 43" 4K monitor (43UD79) and thought it would help with productivity. In fact, I found that snapping windows together was tedious. I swapped it out for 3 x Dell 24" 1080p Infinity Edge displays and found it so much better. The bezels are minimal and I can have a separate program loaded on each screen easily.
Check out DisplayFusion, it's great for managing windows on multi-display as well as large display setup.
I dont think its good for gaming..at least for some games .
I love the look and capabilities (minus the webcam). The square base looks great for holding a laptop or micro-PC, and I actually prefer buttons to the joystick.
Thank you for the great review
This is a great review.
Very good monitor by Phillips. I'm really impressed by the overall quality but I think they need better quality assurance controls to prevent such alignment problems.
Recent Samsung 4k monitor I tried was such a let down so I'm checking this display.
Well they did put in the instructions not to put the monitor directly on the table and to install the base with the monitor in the packaging, so the video author kinda screwed the pooch when he did that and the monitor flexed as he set it on the table, would account for the misaligned screws very easily....he should have read the instructions first before starting an unboxing video LOL
I do a lot of graphic design, web design, video editing/motion graphics and photo editing. Out of this and the other montiors you mentioned in this video, which would you recommend?
I've looked at different reviews of all the different super ultrawides and I'm pretty excited for the LG. 5k and HDR 10 if I remember correctly 🤔. Keen to hear if anyone disagrees with my choice and why :)
no flause. lovely screen. going from 4k to 5k. gaming with a i9 i7 i5 amd gpu nvidia with sync patch.
I wish you compared the 49 with the 38 side by side that would solve all my problems. I need to see Final Cut Pro screen in both of them
I want the wallpaper 2:12...nice video!!
Hey, thanks for the video. Can you tell me the make of your chair. Great color.
You really need to get "PowerToys" installed ... they are a must for wide screens (even though, I'm a fan on my dual 2560x1440) :)
Nice, realistic review. Now, the stand not aligning with the screw holes is a no no. Hopefully that was a one a million manufacturing defect that they can and SHOULD rectify by sending you a new monitor.
I’ve been salivating for a super ultra wide display, but holding back because as of now (not necessarily so in the near future) my main machine is an iMac (iMac 27”).
PS. Retina displays on Macs are mouth watering... And that also makes me hesitate on taking the plunge and switching to PCs...
I dont think its good for gaming..at least for some games .
the screw-hole alignment was not a manufacturing defect, it was a user error defect. He didn't read the manual or quick setup instructions which they warn you to install the base while the monitor is still supported in the packaging. Just like in any sort of sheet metal work, the metal/plastic will bend if not supported correctly and that is what happened here, the external case and the base support holes are not directly connected on purpose to give some play when installing the base. So the case flexes when you put it directly onto the table, the packaging supports the case in its proper position and allows the base support holes to align up correctly.
Thank you, verry good revue ! :-D
Great video. You are one of the few people I can ask this question to, as you have both the 38” and 49” LG monitors. My question is: is it better (for user overall experience) to use: 2 38” LG’s side by side, or one 49” monitor for photoshop, Lightroom, Final Cut Pro, , etc. ? I know you get more real estate with the 2 38’s, but I think the lack of a bezel may be a deciding advantage? Your thoughts are really appreciated. Scott
what did you chose at the end?
@@filysoussokho7233 when I bought them, there was NOTHING EVEN CLOSE in size or resolution. They then came out with your 49”.
Wonder if this would work fine with a 4k laptop. I just took back an LG wide screen because the resolution was too low to split up the screen and have it look good.
Where did you get that wallpaper from please? It looks amazing your setup 👍🏻
Wallpaper engine on steam :)
I'd love to see a similar widescreen monitor but for a more professional use. Such as a 50" 16:10 with 10,240 x 3200 pixels with 100% RGB. Ideally an OLED display. My two 30" 2560x1600 are getting really old and a screen like that would be my preferred choice.
Either way, great review!
I agree, I would love to have something taller not wider and thinner. Maybe something like 5120x2560 though...not sure about the 10,240 seems bit wide and the same aspect ration as this is?
That chair looks super comfortable and cool. I also love the color. May I ask what brand it is?
NobleChairs ICON.
ill tell ya why i likeed that video which iam not doing so much. You where honest with your statement that the problem with that screws at the beginning was a rare manufacturing problem. and thats humane :)
I'm going to Double Decker these 49's for my graphs.....fkin awesome.
Great video showing the use of a super ultrawide monitor. Definitely looking to buy this than two 27'' inch monitors.
with the 27" monitors you get great vertical resolution, I can't stand these thin height resolutions, it is like working on multiple 19" monitors side by side LOLOL...now if they went with a superwide but the same dimensions as 2x 32" curved monitors put together that would be much better
this is perfect for conjoined twins. but really, I have 32 inch screen and sometimes I feel it's already an overkill to have several windows visible at the same time -it does help but sometimes it also feels overwhelming and destructive
I run multiple programs all the time, multitasking is a thing and is well supported across multiple monitors, having this bezel less setup is nice for a lot of people
Awesome stuff!
Depends what you are using it for....I find it way harder to game on them....Actually returned mine went back to 2 27s
Once I bought Philips TV, I won't do that mistake ever again. Right after the guarantee was over the remote control broke and philips said that they don't sell remotes and I am on my own. After searching for a week I found one after market remote that worked. After that the mirror screen option disappeared from the menu (not like it was working properly, you had to try 5-10 times to make it work, and then it was disconnecting). Then it started losing the wifi and was unable to connect to wifi for days even weeks.
Have to admit...I am a little jealous! Hahaha...that is just incredible, Tom! 🤣
THIS
This is great. Now I don't have to run two separate power cords and hdmi cables without taking up space on the power extension cord/outlets or graphics card.
It is incredible! I want one.
A great monitor. What brand of chair are you using tho?
Every programmer’s dream 🥺
I have two 24" 1080p monitors side by side and I wanna upgrade them. 27" seems to large and wouldn't 1440p be harder to drive with your graphics card? I like having all my games at max setting 144hz.
what do you recommend of the dell tower workstation I am planning to buy it and use it for productivity?
I'm curious. What chair is that of yours? It seems the firts "game" chair wich design I liked!
2:27 That's how Batman works on his batcomputer, except he scrolls through all of them simultaneously
great video. Some videos have posted the difficulties with having multiple screens side by side. Your presentation 2;25 showed multiple screens effortlessly --can I ask how it's done. thanks
I have the same question! I just got a 49 inch curved monitor at work and would like to know how to bring up the multiple documents as you did in your video.
You kind of brushed off the built-in KVM part. If it's a solid feature then that could be a huge factor for some people. Would that work for example in a situation where you're playing with one PC and streaming it on another?
why dont you cry about it more? kvm is kvm did he had to cry about how great is it too?
Hi, great review, could you please tell me make and model of your PC casing or paste the link of where to buy it here.
Thanks
Any tip on the optimal monitor for Stadia? :)
Thinking about it, this could be the perfect monitor for music production, as you could have vst windows and mixer all side by side
That's what I do for PreSonus Studio One. It's excellent.
I think this is a better option other than using many cascade monitors, even for day traders.
My problm with those monitors is just that i would NEVER been able to see a 1:1 4K video or image, since the horizontal resolution is lower than 2160p. Love everything else about them.
You'd want one with 4K pixels in the 16x9 center area and then extra pixels on the sides if I describe that properly.
love my nitro xv2 series , 244 hz 28 inch
What chair are you using? looks nice and comfortable!
You should review the Lenovo Legion Y44w!
Im jealous that you have adjustable height.. My Viotek 34 inch ultrawide (found it on FBMP for $200) does not, only forward tilt, I ordered a 3rd party base for it and recieved it today, but the vesa plate was like 1mm too big for the space.. Howoever, I dont think ill be going to super ultrawide, mainly for the fact that this current 34 inch fits on my desk, literally edge to edge lol.
As person who watches "TECH POOOOORRRNNN" I was going through my usual Linus content, then suddenly I thought, Wait a minute, When did Linus get a British accent? It took me quite some to realize that you , my British man, isnt the Canadian guy I look at when i get bored. But glad I found you though.
Didn't know about the built-in docking possibilities! That feature actually allows me to convince my boss to buy me the screen :D
did he buy it?
What was the “go to” LG ultrawide you mentioned?
I have the Dell 38", which other than suffering from slightly low contrast, seems to be about perfect from a size perspective. What I'd miss on the 49's is the vertical resolution - what gives with 1440? 1600 should be minimum for these.
agreed...though I would prefer this was 2560 minimum vertical resolution
Great Video, how I can split the screen to use two computers at same time without switching the input as I need to use personal and work laptops at same time
Do homework on one "screen" while playing switch on the other.
Next step - make a SUW AiO PC out of that 'panoramic' screen ;) You certianly get the real estate for all types of PCBs, ports and cooling to be housed in with such a big device...
Great video but could you please post a video or comment explaining what laptops can actually support 5120x1440? Just bought the LG one and I have a 2016 15inch MacBook Pro with touchbar and just discovered it’s only capable of 3000 res. So anyone you can explain how we’re able to know if our laptops can work with that resolution?
Being that is some sort of 'half' 5K, is it enough using just one DP of the GPU or it needs 2 DP like the full 5K? Thanks
The super extra wide are awesome. 32:9 I'd have a 90 inch super wide if I could
For work with Adobe, is this best than Philips 436M6VBPAB 43"? more space up and down, this ultrawide is moore at right and left, but i seeing the sequencer isnt space at the end of the monitor. Is it possible for working in audio apps like Cubase is best a 43"?
hi dude May i ask you what's the keyboard you're using in this video?
thanks
I wish you had shown what 5120 vs 3840 horizontal resolution. I am concerned about real-state space. Is it worth to pay an additional $500 to go from 3840 to 5120?
My preference is a good quality less expensive of all office desktop monitor (49 inches ultra wide) and need a build in KVM to be able to use office and perssonal laptop at the sametime. which one would you suggest ? Also, does these things comes with wireless display connectivity ? will be good to have less wires around and connecting 2 laptops physically.
i think we're asking the wrong question, the real question is, what kind of strain does a 48" super ultra wide monitor have on a GPU over time, or how big a power supply do you need to compensate for 3 monitors?
Hi, this screen has good text reading? Has more or less the same quality than a MacBook retina screen? the text is sharp? thanks
This might be too much for me. I am still eyeing on the LG 38" ultrawide.
u got really a big deep pocket mate. nice moniter by the way.....
If you’re using with a MAcBook Pro can you open multiple tabs as seen in the video? Instead of two the monitor I have.
How were you able to split your screen into 5 and also can you tell me the configuration of your pc and what you think I need for trading and gaming
Feels like the next thing I need. Have two 27" monitors with fat bezels.
@@user-if1de8pt2j Hey yes I noticed that. Have an ultra wide monitor as secondary screen at work and I never use it as primary
While I can appreciate the huge desktop space of the SUW monitors there are certain applications where they are too wide to integrate with other necessary equipment. Specifically, a music studio where a DAW is used and monitor speakers at the workstation console are required. If the speakers were placed outboard of a SUW monitor they would be much too far apart to present a correct stereo image to anyone sitting at the workstation. I suppose it might be possible to mount the speakers above the video monitor and angle them down and angled in toward the listener but I don't know of any off-the-shelf methods of mounting speakers in that fashion. An UltraWide monitor is about the widest that would be practical to use in the described situation. I actually have a HP LP 3065c that I purchased as a refurb more than a decade ago. That is a 16:10 aspect ratio monitor with 2560 X 1600 pixel resolution. The extra height and width beyond a standard 2K HD resolution allows viewing three full document pages side by side. The horizontal resolution works well with, e.g., Cakewalk DAW user interface. The monitor speakers placed immediately outboard of either side of the video monitor and angled toward the listener are perfectly located for the correct stereo image.
put the speakers on a stand pointed over the top of the monitor and aimed down a bit? works for me.
I wud like to see they put USB ports on a side of the monitor or even in a stand because is quite hard to connect USB correctly iven if you see wath you are doing
