What a high tech beastie. This technology will roll down to cheaper gamer centric monitors over the next 5-10 years? Looks like OLED got serious competition.
Hey man, I've been looking for a good 240hz 1080p VA monitor for gaming. Do you have any recommendations? (I want the VA for the deeper blacks and richer colors. Is IPS comparable in this regard?)
@@astrocslopes863 I wish to repharese my comment: the "local dimming algorithm" does NOT exist at all. What's the purpose of so many local dimming zones, if their managament is totally inexistent ? Bad bad bad (and no, this is not my first FALD monitor for pc).
I had it for one week. Then i sent it back. HDR was horrible. Colours were totally wrong. Dont buy this monitor if you wanna use it for HDR. Its totally ununsable in HDR.
@@TotallydubbedHD i have another capable HDR monitor that works flawlessly. The Philips monitor was overall unbelievably bad in HDR mode. As soon as i turned on HDR in windows the picture was way too dimm and the colours were off. When I consumed HDR content via TH-cam and via the Netflix app, the picture wasnt right either. I tried all modes of the monitor. The HDR picture was in every single scenario way off. I looked deeper into reviews on Amazon and this seems to be a firmware problem and not at hardware problem. In SDR the monitor was great. So was the build quality. I would have kept the monitor for sure if HDR would have worked. But I couldn’t justify paying 1000€ for a monitor that had no properly working HDR mode. :/ Hope they fix it with a new firmware update at some point. But like this the monitor isnt worth it :/
@@house5975 in Windows, HDR is always going to look off. TH-cam isn't a great benchmark either, as sometimes the browser will limit performance (ie in Chrome I've found it to be problematic). Not tried Netflix on PC so can't comment there. Sorry to hear your didn't like it!
@@TotallydubbedHD i know it looks off as i have another HDR monitor. It looked waaaaay off. Like it was waaaaaaay darker than SDR content. I also played HDR games on it. There was no instance where any HDR mode worked. And i really tried as i loved the monitor besides its HDR capabilities. :/
@@house5975 but that's normal, many high-end HDR monitors will also make it look off or washed out (in Windows). It's only when you actually have proper HDR content where the monitor will shine; up to 1.8k nits in HDR is mind-blowing and pretty much unrivalled. Can't understand how you found HDR poor, but anyway, guess you can find something else!
Buy the Philips 27B1U7903 from Amazon: locally.link/5GDe

happy to see more mini led monitors coming to the market. at 32" it would have been a best buy.
Thanks for sharing!
Yeah 32" 4k would be a nice combination.
yea 32' with same 2k dimming and dci-p3 focus at 98% would own market

One can only hope, but wonder how its input lag and response time would be!
Any newer bigger models coming up?

I've recently reviewed some from AOC and Philips which I'd recommend, check my videos on my channel.
I have it. The local dimming algorithm is embarassingly bad
Why
cant agree more

@@owenyuan7161is it really that bad? Blooming?
@@alefrarais there a lot of blooming?

Surprised to hear that, how were you using HDR though?
