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.
