Last month, Philips introduced a pair of 40-inch ultrawide monitors targeting office work, both with a resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels. Now the company has introduced a pair of larger 45-inch displays for the same target market, but with a wider 5120 x 1440 pixel resolution and a 32:9 aspect ratio. The 45B1U6900C and 45B1U6900CH are largely identical as with the 40-inch models, with the differentiator being that the latter has a built-in 5 Megapixel webcam with support for Windows Hello. The other difference being that the 45B1U6900C sports one USB-C and one USB-B port for the KVM functionality, whereas the 45B1U6900CH is equipped with a pair of USB-C ports.

The display panel is of VA type with a refresh rate of up to 75 Hz and a typical response time of 4 ms. It has a brightness of 450 cd/m² and a typical contrast ratio of 3000:1. It's also DisplayHDR 400 certified. Outside of the USB inputs, these displays have two HDMI 2.0 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.4, with the USB-C ports on both models offering DP Alt mode, 10 Gbps data speeds and USB PD support up to 100 W. Both models have four downstream USB-A ports, one which supports fast charging and an additional USB-C downstream port that delivers up to 15 W of power. There's also Gigabit Ethernet and an audio jack, as well as a pair of built in 5 W speakers, making these displays decent docking stations at work. The stand is height adjustable and the display can be tilted and swivelled, but not rotated, for obvious reasons. No pricing is available at the moment, but both models should be available shortly.

The refresh rate vs resolution... makes no sense. What market is this for, not gaming nor is it productivity. The resolution is a bit extreme for office work. It's a panel in no mans land.

I think it'll be alright for people looking to have two or three windows side by side.

That said, I literally don't have enough table space for one of these. lol

While my personal favorite resolution is 5120*2160, which is almost 21:9. But 5120x1440 is being used by many gamers and content creators all around the world. IDR when they released the first one, maybe 3-4 years back.

I just wish more displays will be released with 5120x2160 in 41-42" size, 144-160Hz, 600nits with HDR600 with a reasonable price. The resolution and size (DPI) will perfectly fit and match a 27" 4K panel, making a perfect dual-screen setup with the same physical height and DPI.

Benchmark Scores I once clocked a Celeron-300A to 564MHz on an Abit BE6 and it scored over 9000.
These aren't high-refresh displays, but if the motion response (black smear) isn't bad then they'll still be decent for gaming.

Driving 5120x1440 at more than 75fps is a challenge for most GPUs in many games, and while 75Hz isn't professional e-sports territory, it's still a perfectly usable experience for most people.

I do a lot of single-player gaming at 4K60. OH MY GOD, ONLY 60HZ?! THE HORROR!....

Philips, why? Where is 5K/2K 10-bit monitor with 120/144Hz?

Why are you still stuck to wide 1440p?

I guess I am left out, but what is the ethernet port on a monitor for? Use it is a network display? or watch your security cameras?

I am really liking them, but no price for the moment. I guess it will be "bang for the buck" as Dell's own ultra wide is kind of expensive or Samsung's at that level.

I don't think Philips does panels, you'd need to ask LG, Samsung, etc. It's sad that format is yet to truly materialize.

Single cable connection to a laptop, replacing the need for a docking station. Ethernet, display, mouse and keyboard on the monitor hub, power, everything connected to the laptop through a single USB-C

In fact, they don't do TVs or monitors either, it's all licensed by TP Vision or MMD Monitors, which is a sub-brand of TP Vision.

The monitor has a built in dock for use with USB-c on laptops, basically you plug this into a laptop with USB-c port with display port passthrough, power delivery and data and you don't need to plug the laptop into anything else, I have a 32 inch version at work basically I sit at my desk, plug in the laptop and all my peripherals and second monitor come out of the Phillips monitor and connect to the laptop via a single USB-c cable, even has speakers and a windows hello compatible camera

What about PiP and KVM? Does Philips has remote KVM app and remote PiP app to control PiP position and size?

The model I have doesn't support those features, so I can't answer that.
