Philips 439P9H – wide boy with a camera for multitasking

Variety of settings

Ultrawide monitors have not only gaming but also work use. This is especially the case when it comes to the so-called super ultrawide monitors or pieces with an aspect ratio of 32:10. This is exactly where the Philips 439P9H fits. It impressed us with features, such as rich port selection or an IR camera for Windows Hello It also offers a KVM switch for connecting accessories to two computers at once and easily switching between them.

Variety of settings

Up to five buttons on the right edge of the display are used for controls. The power button has a slight protrusion, making it easier to recognize and preventing from turning off the monitor accidentally.

   

Move the arrows to quickly switch between image modes, select input or control the KVM switch.

The OSD menu offers a large number of settings, such as Low Blue mode, color adjustment, USB mode switching, volume change or selection of the Czech language of the user environment.

Image control is used to turn on HDR mode, change overdrive SmartResponse or adjust gamma.

PbP mode is designed to connect two sources at once. Thanks to the integration of the KVM switch, it is also possible to connect one peripheral device to the monitor, with which you can then control both computers. It works well, but you need to get used to manually switching between the favored input you want to control.

Rich connectivity really comes in handy with such a monitor. We connected the notebook via 75 W USB-C, which is also used for charging, and on the other hand, the computer with the included cable to the other USB-C and its graphics card to the DisplayPort. Subsequently, the keyboard and mouse to the USB ports and only the Ethernet connection for a complex docking station is left now.

If you need to use two computers at the same time, this will definitely be an interesting option.

Gigabyte M32UC: 4K at 160Hz on curved 32 inches

Monitors at the moment are probably dominated by 27-inch models, which is logical given their price and availability. The next step in the evolution are 32-inch models, which include the tested M32UC from Gigabyte. This one is very similar to the recently tested G32QC. However, appearance is the only thing they are similar in, as the M32UC is a bit of a “different animal”. 4K at 160Hz and KVM are just the tip of the iceberg of what the monitor offers.

Bit of a “different” monitor. MSI Modern MD272QP Ultramarine

Monitors usually offer a very similar and rather unremarkable design in black or grey. Gaming models are trying to break out of this stereotype, with various red elements or RGB lighting. However, the world of professional monitors is virtually black and white, and MSI thought it would bring some colour to this environment, and not a grey one, but an “Ultramarine” one at that. That’s a colour particularly associated with Renaissance artwork. Read more “Bit of a “different” monitor. MSI Modern MD272QP Ultramarine” »
