Philips Unveils 27B1U7903 Mini-LED Monitor with Thunderbolt 4 Support
Creative professionals and artists work in multifarious ways and look for solutions that meet their individual and specific needs to fully express their creativity. To support them in their work they require a powerful monitor that can ensure performance-boosting features, high-quality visuals, and comfortable connectivity.
MMD, the leading display specialist and brand license partner for Philips monitors, today launches the Philips 27B1U7903, a 4K MiniLED Thunderbolt 4 monitor that combines outstanding picture performance with secure one-cable docking, uses sustainable materials in its components and packaging, and comes in a stylish design. Packed with high-performance features to enable professionals to reach new levels of productivity, the Philips 27B1U7903 is also the first Philips monitor to feature Thunderbolt 4 technology for a next-generation connectivity.Key features
Power, performance, and precision
Professionals such as cinematographers, colourists, photographers, and graphic designers who all depend on very high colour accuracy and detail will be well-served by the Philips 27B1U7903. The UltraClear 4K (3840x2160) resolution delivers the exactness and detail that CAD and 3D graphics applications require. Its IPS technology offers extra wide viewing angles of 178/178 degrees, and the MiniLED backlighting facilitates the control of brightness and contrast ratio. This monitor is also certified with the VESA DisplayHDR 1400, meaning it provides a peak brightness of up to 1400 nits, a significant increase in contrast range, and a wider colour gamut (1.07B colours) to bring out previously unseen details and nuances for ultra-realistic effects. A wide array of other visual-enhancing features further extends the graphic performance of the Philips 27B1U7903. Quantum Dot Technology, an innovative semiconductor nanocrystal technology, precisely emits light in certain wavelengths to produce vibrant, dynamic, eye-popping colour. Zero Bright Dot eliminates LCD bright dot defects, while SmartUniformity provides consistent brightness across the display, and a Delta E value of less than 1 ensures the highest colour accuracy, in addition to guarding against any colour difference between multiple displays of the same type.
Another star feature of the Philips 27B1U7903 is the Thunderbolt 4 protocol, which provides simplicity, speed, and reliability in ways its predecessors could not. Whether users need single-cable lightning-fast data transfer, dependable 4K entertainment on multiple screens, impressive 90 W power delivery for charging or powering laptops, simple and powerful daisy chaining for multi-monitor setups, or the peace of mind that comes from having heightened security against Thunderspy attacks, Thunderbolt 4 offers a veritable treasure chest of benefits. And that's not all - Thunderbolt 4 is compliant with USB4, meaning users are certain to enjoy the best and fastest USB speed available, guaranteeing data transfer speeds of up to 32 Gbps.
Last but certainly not least, the Philips 27B1U7903 is equipped with a variety of ergonomic and sustainability-minded features, such as a hideaway PowerSensor that enables up to 80% energy savings and a SmartErgoBase that allows users to swivel, tilt, and height adjust the monitor to the most comfortable position for long hours of work or play.
Pricing and availability
The Philips 27B1U7903 is now available for purchase at the price of £1199 inc. VAT. For more information, visit the product page.

21 Comments on Philips Unveils 27B1U7903 Mini-LED Monitor with Thunderbolt 4 Support
Unfortunately it is a 60hz regular monitor with the same tipical ~1000:1 IPS contrast ratio (cmon, start using the true black IPS panels already!)
Is it a true 10bit panel at least?
The monitor clearly has a top bezel which can be seen in the first photos.
Therefore, I talked the IT guys into giving me 2x 32" High-rez Sammy's, and put them on either side of my personal 43" Sammy, and I have not looked back since and can't imagine not having all this space to work in, with the bonus of being able to switch them over & use them with my personal system too if needed.....
Comes in REAL handy when editing multiple images, videos, copying/pasting spreadsheet data, manipulating multiple 3D CAD renders, filtering/sorting multiple database windows etc :)
As for this monitor, I like it overall, especially the TB 4 port & mini-LED tech, but:
A) Having the controls on the back of the panel, vs. the bottom or side, IMO, suks bigtime.. and
B) It claims to be frame-less but is NOT, as far as I can see from the posted images :(
C) The price is too high, regardless of specs/features etc....unless you are a big company that can afford it....
It's full of 24, 25 Hz videos...
this monitor has so many zones and it has the "zero bezel" bottom and thunderbolt, almost perfect, just give me 90hz

Monitors are going the way of mobile phones, bigger is "better". Some of us would disagree.
