Philips Releases Professional 4K OLED Monitor that Highlights Impressive Color Features
EPI, the leading display specialist and brand license partner for Philips monitors introduces the Philips 27E1N8900. Designed for professionals working from home and looking for a monitor that offers impressive visual contrast, the Philips monitor provides a novel experience. The main feature of this monitor, OLED, is known for its stark contrast and state-of-the-art pixel responsiveness.
In addition to the new OLED technology, this monitor is packed with features that make the screen come to life, such as UltraClear 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution for precise imagery, DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400 for shadowing, Ultra Wide-Color for a vivid picture, True 10-bit display for smoother gradients, 99 percent Adobe RGB/DCI-P3, and an antiglare film. These features, along with LowBlue mode, make this monitor the perfect tool.
"We are always trying to improve the picture quality of the screen at Philips," says David Ray, Marketing Director of Philips monitors and IT accessories in North America. "This monitor is specialized in the sense that the OLED feature is truly impressive when it comes to seeing things on screen as they truly are. It is a monitor designed for creatives and anyone that has high standards for picture quality."
Aside from OLED, the monitor boasts an all-in-one USB-C port that is ideal for simultaneously charging a device while also connecting to the monitor and a KVM switch for managing a dual PC setup.

Hopefully this means 120/144 hertz 27" 4k OLED's are just around the corner.
edit : Actually 2nd. The LG 27EP950 was 1st.
does anyone know typical life span?? Will these last 12 hours a day 365 days a year for a decade like the typical panels now??www.amazon.ca/dp/B09M61MNGV?tag=pcp0f-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1
That price!!! $2630 W/o tax!!
Your best bet is still going to be waiting for LG or Samsung to shrink down their TV panels. I give it a year before we see 32" 4K at least, not sure about 27".
While I do like OLED monitors, all of them at the prices they want, I can get a 48" OLED TV to do the same for cheaper. So these prices make little sense to me.
Still nice looking display.
Other options include the Sony Inzone M9, Coolermaster GP27U and GP27Q, as well as the InnoCN 27M2V and 32M2V. The are also a couple AOC monitors whose model names I've forgotten, and an Asus one that came out a couple years ago that was like $3k at the time. More are on the way from the major brands like Asus, Acer, MSI, etc. These are all IPS panels, and the bloom from the local dimming is a little more noticeable as a result, but it's still a big improvement over traditionally backlit monitors when it comes to HDR content.
I'll dig a bit deeper but VN panel sounds good. But I'm also no fan of curved displays so there is that.
OK just for LOLs for less you can get Asus PA329CV which has 100% sRGB/DCI-P3/Rec.709 coverage. It is far superior device compared to this Phillips.
OLED is fine, but it has to deliver superior color accuracy, which this one clearly doesn't if cheaper IPS panels offer higher spec certification. It's at best fine and price simply destroys it. 4K in 27" is murder.
They are both outstanding in different ways. If I had to choose, though, I would probably go with the Mini-Led one. The advantage of the OLED is being able to use it in Windows 'Use HDR' mode all the time. I do alternate between HDR modes, since the mode Philips calls 'Personal' is fantastic for writing and you can increase saturation, which is excellent for SDR content, whereas the 'DisplayHDR 400 True Black' mode is gorgeous for video. Being able to work in HDR is marvelous, since everything looks so crisp, and in 'Personal' mode characters look so black and the screen has an ever so slight blue light reduction. It all feels so smooth, yet so precise.
Now nothing can beat the construction, convenience, and luminosity of the Mini Led one. The colours just pop and contrast is so good even in the 8-bit SDR mode, since you can benefit from local dimming with those 2304 zones even in standard SDR. It is not the OLED-level contrast of the 27E1N8900, but it is quite good as well -- if a bit difficult to find the right level of brightness at times, since it can get quite unreasonably bright and in different modes the luminosity can fluctuate quite a bit. Yet, it is just unbeatable with that screen, the built quality of that stand, and the USB-C hub is just in another league altogether in comparison with that of the OLED.
