https://www.techpowerup.com/270353/philips-launches-the-498p9-monitor-49-va-32-9-5120-x-1440-70-hz MMD, the official distributor for Philips products, today announced the new Philips 498P9 Brilliance 32:9 SuperWide curved LCD display, a 49" (48.8"/124 cm) monitor designed with professionals in mind.
This monitor is enriched with performance-enhancing features and with its 32:9 SuperWide 49" screen and a 5120 x 1440 pixel resolution, perfectly replaces two 27" 16:9 Quad HD displays set up side-by-side. The 498P9 offers a distraction-free visualization and more comfort to the eyes, thanks to its 1800R curved display that ensures a wider field of view and subtly wraps around the user. The 498P9 is equipped with a VA panel, offering very high native contrast (3000:1), a 70 Hz refresh rate for smoothly moving visuals, a high color accuracy (DeltaE < 2) and wide gamut coverage (sRGB 121%, AdobeRGB 91%). The monitor's attraction goes even beyond this: with MultiView technology, professionals can connect a PC and a laptop at the same time, as it enables active dual-connect and view. Now every minute spent working is more efficient, more productive, and more comfortable.
With its size, the Philips 498P9 monitor makes work easier. It features a wide array of connectivity options, such as DisplayPort, HDMI and USB 3.2. The built-in MultiClient Integrated KVM switch, together with the MultiView function, allow users to control two separate devices simultaneously with a single monitor-keyboard-mouse set-up, saving even more time and space. You can just press a button and switch between sources connected via the two USB 3.2 uplink ports, boosting the most complex multi-tasking.
It is known that professionals who spend a lot of time in front of the monitor naturally benefit from the latest technological advancements. However, they also require a sense of comfort to ensure an optimal working environment. The Philips 498P9 display has it all, such as the ergonomic the Compact Ergo Base, a user-friendly Philips monitor base that tilts, swivels and is height-adjustable so each user can position the monitor for maximum viewing comfort and efficiency.
70 hertz isn't bad for a monitor of this size for professional use. I don't recommend this being used as a gaming monitor unless you don't mind the 70 hertz refresh rate.
