Effective widescreen design ; Great contrast and sRGB quality ; Broad feature set

Widescreen is divisive ; Has uniformity issues ; Can’t handle AdobeRGB or HDR

The Philips Brilliance 439P9H’s widescreen design is a double-edged sword, but this screen does serve up great sRGB image quality and has a broad range of features

Stunning 49in width.

Expensive.

The Philips Brilliance 498P9Z delivers huge super ultrawide gaming capabilities. There are gaming features missing in the OSD, but the core capabilities make this an extremely competent jack-of-all trades – if you can afford it.

Outstanding whites ; Blazing brightness ; Support for multiple PCs ; Robust port choices

Overly cool default colour temperature

4K resolution on 31.5in screen.

Out-of-box colour accuracy merely mediocre.

The Philips Brilliance 329P9H has some great features, including one-cable USB-C docking, and is capable of great colour accuracy. With the recent £200+ price drop it is definitely now a WORTH BUYING product.

It’s really, really wide.

Colour not as accurate as you would want in a screen this price.

The Philips Brilliance 499P9H will keep you wide-eyed with wonder at its immense 32:9 aspect. It’s not perfect, but you do get a lot of curved screen for your money, and major bragging rights.

Immense ultra-wide screen with 5K horizontal resolution. Bright image. Good color fidelity. Supports HDR. USB-C power delivery. Built-in KVM switch.

On the pricey side. Buttons, instead of joystick, for OSD control.

Bottom Line: The Philips Brilliance 499P9H offers a winning combination of a gigantic, ultra-wide curved screen—shining with a bright, vivid image—and extras like a Windows Hello-compatible webcam and a built-in KVM switch.
