The Philips 45B1U6900C combines a dual-monitor setup in a single display. The Philips 45B1U6900C is equipped with a large, 44.5" (113 cm diagonal) screen with Double QHD (5120 x 1440) resolution and several other features that are designed to aid professionals' multitasking, such as: USB-C docking with an RJ45 (Gigabit Ethernet) input, a 32:9 SuperWide aspect ratio, and a curvature of 1500R with viewing angles of 178/178 degrees.

Instead of having two separate monitors, the Philips 45B1U6900C's 44.5" screen and 32:9 SuperWide aspect ratio allow professionals to easily open multiple windows side-by-side, without a bezel in the middle dividing the content abruptly. The 32:9 aspect ratio also helps to have an extra-wide perspective for working with timeline-based software such as video or audio editors. In addition, the monitor's curved VA panel produces wide, 178°/178° viewing angles and crisp, high-contrast imagery, while the 1500R curvature creates an overall more immersive experience.



Another important feature to note for making the workspace better is the USB-C docking hub with RJ45. With this docking system, professionals can connect their laptop to the monitor via USB-C and gain wired access to the network thanks to the RJ45 input of the monitor - the network connection is routed via USB-C to the laptop. When connected via USB-C, the connected device can also receive power (using USB Power Delivery, up to 100 W), extend the desktop space using USB-C DisplayPort Alt mode, and access external devices connected to the monitor's USB hub with high-speed data transfer (5 Gbit/s) thanks to its USB 3.2 Gen 1 support - all by using a single USB-C connection between the laptop and the 45B1U6900C display.

In addition to USB-C docking, the Philips 45B1U6900C also has many other features that can help professionals complete their daily tasks. These include but are not limited to: DisplayHDR 400 for VESA certified high dynamic range support to reproduce rich, lifelike visuals, a headphone hook to reduce clutter in day-to-day use, and a MultiClient Integrated KVM switch for controlling a two-PC setup on the same monitor with a single keyboard/mouse set. To help users work in almost any ambient light setting, the monitor's TUV Rheinland Eyesafe RPF 50 certification ensures protection against blue light-induced eyestrain with its ever-present blue light filter on the display.

Philips 45B1U6900C availability
For professionals aiming to streamline their workflows and improve productivity, the Philips 45B1U6900C monitor is an ideal companion.

The monitor is already available for purchase at a price of £939.99.

Those USB ports on side is quite inconvinient given the width of the monitor, having those port on bottom would be far more convinient.

Agreed, but I would rather have them built into the stand like some of the other recent monitors have started offering :)

But at least they are making the "one-cable" connection scenario moar feasible by including up to date ports & connectors like USB-C, so there's that !

Like Xeneon Flex, for large ultra wide monitors certainly the best placement of those USB ports is in the stand.(granted monitor isnt height adjustable).
