With a new arsenal of features to complement its release, Philips adds a new monitor to their B2B 5000 series product line. One of the key aspects of the Philips 49B2U5900CH is its 48.8" (124 cm) curved SuperWide (32:9) display. The 49B2U5900CH brings new, innovative features such as the Busylight and a tilting earphone hook never before seen on a Philips monitor.

All of these new features, along with the Philips 49B2U5900CH's USB-C docking solution with RJ45 port as well as the TÜV Rheinland Eyesafe certification, make this monitor ideal for office professionals looking to increase productivity in the workplace, as well as for those who work from home and require a highly collaborative product to facilitate their workday.



The Philips 49B2U5900CH is designed to create a more dynamic work environment. For professionals working in an office setting, the new Busylight is located at the top of the monitor's webcam. It can sync with Microsoft Teams statuses so colleagues know whether others are on a call or not.

Apart from the Busylight function, another collaborative feature of the 49B2U5900CH is the 5MP webcam with Windows Hello. Not only can users experience picture-perfect call quality, but they can also log in to all of their Microsoft accounts automatically through facial recognition with the Windows Hello feature; thereby making the Philips 49B2U5900CH an ideal office companion.

More screen real estate for higher productivity
Several functions make the Philips 49B2U5900CH ideal for increasing productivity in the workplace; with one of them being the large 32:9 SuperWide screen. Designed to replace a multiscreen work setup, the large 48.8" screen with a 5120x1440 resolution is equivalent to having two 27" 16:9 Quad HD monitors side by side. In addition to this, thanks to its VA panel, the Philips 49B2U5900CH has a 178 by 178-degree viewing angle and a 3000:1 contrast ratio, allowing users to see with complete clarity and from any angle. Therefore, with all these features in mind, professionals can work in one fluid motion with a single screen that is built for completing multiple workflows simultaneously and from any angle.

Connectivity and versatility at its best
Apart from being adaptable to an ever more changing workplace, the Philips 49B2U5900CH also fashions features that make it a staple for any type of work. The newest addition to its connective capabilities is the Smart KVM. Traditionally, an integrated KVM switch is used to switch between sources with the click of a button on the monitor's bezel. With the Smart KVM feature, however, users only need to press the "Ctrl" key on their keyboard three times to be able to switch between multiple PCs.

Adding to the Philips 49B2U5900CH connectivity features is the USB-C docking with RJ45; the ultimate feature for facilitating workflow. The versatile USB-C connections allow for up to 100 W of power delivery as well as high-speed data transfer to and from devices. The Philips 49B2U5900CH's USB-C docking station is also equipped with an RJ45 (Gigabit Ethernet) connection, allowing the monitor to route network connection to the devices connected via USB-C.

Additional features for the Philips 49B2U5900CH
Connectivity and collaboration are not the only advantages of the Philips 49B2U5900CH. To add to its arsenal of workplace-focussed features, this monitor guarantees a high-quality picture experience for all professions with its DisplayHDR 400 certification, SmartImage technology, and a large colour gamut with 1.07 billion colours. In addition to this, the Philips 49B2U5900CH boasts a new earphone hook that can be pulled down from the monitor's side, a height adjustable stand, and a VESA mount that makes for a convenient and comfortable viewing experience.

Last but certainly not least, the Philips 49B2U5900CH is certified with TÜV Rheinland Eyesafe; which helps make long hours in front of the screen easier on the eyes. In addition, this certification makes sure that the Philips 49B2U5900CH was built to protect against the adverse health effects from long exposure to blue light.

The Philips 49B2U5900CH monitor will be available for purchase from mid-November and with a MSRP of £949.99.

Since when has 32:9 become sexy? Everybody is releasing these and this price for a VA is not far away from the same thing in OLED but I don't get the hook?

  • I don't want OLED, I don't get to game much and there are a lot of static graphics on my screen.
  • I want high refresh rates.
  • I want regular 4K.

The input isn't for you, it's for the people who actually make the effort to do market research and see what the response to a product launch is. :rolleyes:
