This monitor ticks a lot of boxes for me, I do want it! Its got a lot of creature comforts all the other 49" QD-OLED monitors don't have. It also lacks features you don't want. Sadly, 49M2C8900 availability (at least outside Europe) is non-existent as far as I can tell. Philips, pls, bring this in North America!
Im still rocking it out on the monitor, perfect besides for the brightness dimming, I even get no freesync flicker which is great. But the brightness dimming for 1-3mins every 15-30mins is annoying. They need to add a firmware update that fixes the ABL.
yeah its a good job kitguru, its hard to find really good monitor reviews in england on youtube - just a few other guys doing them - been looking at this screen a while now.
Thannk yu for the excellent review. Just pulled the trigger on this one. I was in a dilemma between the OLED G9 and this one but the lack of 3 year burn in warranty for the samsung was a deal breaker. Also the KVM is an addad value for the philips. BTW, what is the game being played at @12:12?
thats a really good, detailed analysis guys - it seems like a superb screen - even with the flaws the pricing seems reasonable. Some good LG screens at this size too
I really hope to see asus PG32UCDM (the price was like only 1300$ for the us market) review by you + I do REALLY enjoy how mr. Dominic speaking english - such a joy for my ears!
how would you compare this to other 49" 32:9 ultrawide qd oleds? I've heard the asus one has the best picture quality, calibration and burn in protection, those are the most important features for me. although 240 hz would be nice to have but i don't think I'll get that much fps in games with this high resolution.
Pricing really isn't that bad was expecting it to be more than 1500 quid. It's basically a little bit cheaper than a 27" apple studio display. Different markets though I guess.
Imagine if it was just a tad bit higher ie more girth vertically. looks like just a stripe so to speak. But am I the only one finding that the vidoe feels a bit stuttery or is it on my end? as I have had a hard crash and had to reinstall amd craptastic drivers....
The sad reality is that unless you sided with AMD in the latest graphics card war, you CAN NOT POWER the latest super ultra-wide displays, because Nvidia cheaped out and only provided Displayport 1.4 on their 30 and 40 series GPUs. So, you have a choice between good and evil: Your 240hz 32:9 4K Super ultra-wide powered by an AMD GPU, or a pathetic 21:9 3440x1440 165/175hz display.
