Ultra HD displayes rated at 3840 x 2160 we all know, and over the last year we have seen merely a few true 4k" 4096 x 2160 ones. Fewer have reeleased a whopping 5120 x 2880 "5K" resolution.

Philips is now also jumping into the 5K market with their 275P4VYKEB. This is only a 27" sized screen which iks using a Samsung PLS (IPS-type) panel here with 217.57 PPI (Pixels Per Inch) and 10-bit colour depth. The panel coating is glossy as well, although it remains to be seen if there is any anti-reflective treatment at all. In other specs the screen offers an 8ms G2G response time 1000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 178/178 viewing angles and wide colour gamut backlight with 99% Adobe RGB coverage. The screen is also flicker free.

The stand offers a full range of ergonomic adjustments with tilt, height, swivel and rotate available. There are 2x DisplayPort 1.2 video connections provided and at the moment you need both connected from a suitable graphics card to power the screen at 5K resolution and 60Hz refresh rate. There are also 3x USB 3.0 ports, 1 with fast charging support.

There's been a lot of Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 displays released over the last year or so, and a few with "true 4k" 4096 x 2160 resolution as well. Only a couple of manufacturers have pushed beyond this with the likes of the Dell UP2715K and Apple Cinema Display being the first to offer a whopping 5120 x 2880 "5K" resolution.

Philips have now joined the 5K market with their 275P4VYKEB. This is a 27" sized screen with a fairly modest design in line with a lot of their other models.
