Philips announces 49in SuperWide Dual Quad HD Curved Monitor at CES 2019

EPI, a brand partner for Philips, announced two monitors to add to its Philips Brilliance Collection. The Philips Brilliance 49'' SuperWide Curved LCD Display with Dual Quad HD 5120 x 1440 resolution and the Philips Brilliance 32" 4K LCD Display.

Both of these new monitors feature an innovative webcam that is equipped with advanced sensors for Windows Hello facial recognition which conveniently and securely logs you into your Windows devices in less than two seconds - three times faster than a password. Now, users can log-in faster and more securely with facial recognition biometric security. The secure webcam pops up when you need it and securely tucks back into the monitor when not in use. This smart upgrade ensures your privacy is secure as the camera disappears when not needed - eliminating the desire to cover your webcam with a piece of tape to feel protected.

The Philips Brilliance 49'' SuperWide Curved LCD Display offers the ultimate in picture quality, screen format and user functionality. The display earned an iF Design Award and a 2018 Red Dot award in 2018 - two of the most important design awards. The new 49'' display acts like two full-size high-performance monitors in one for a massive wide view without the complicated setup, ideal for content creators and financial analysts. The 1800r curved display creates a more immersive experience for gaming and the Adaptive-Sync technology allows for smooth quick refresh and ultra-fast response time. Moreover, the VESA-certified Display HRD 400 brings images to life with stunning brightness and crisp colors for a visual experience that delights the senses.

The Philips 329P9H 32'' 4K LCD monitor delivers ultra-clarity, outstanding color and brilliant performance - designed for the way you work to maximize productivity. The UltraClear 4K UHD (3840 X 2160) resolution and IPS technology offer full, crisp colors and wide viewing angles, making it possible to view the display from almost any angle - including the 90-degree Pivot mode. A Smart Ergo Base delivers ergonomic display comfort that can ease the pain of long work days and can be adjusted to your preferred height, swivel, tilt and rotation angle. The PowerSensor automatically detects if a user is present and can reduce monitor brightness when they're not, which reduces energy costs up to 80 percent and prolongs the monitor's life.

Both displays have been upgraded with performance-enhancing features, including a USB-C docking station and MultiClient Integrated KVM switch. The USB 3.1 type-C docking station simplifies connecting all your peripherals, including the keyboard, mouse and ethernet cable, to the monitor. Simply connect your notebook and this monitor with a single USB C cable to watch high-resolution video and transfer super-speed data while powering up and re-charging your notebook at the same time. The MultiClient Integrated KVM switch allows you to control two separate PCs with one monitor-keyboard-mouse set up. A convenient button allows you to quickly switch between sources which is helpful for set-ups that require dual PC computing power or sharing one large monitor to show two difference PCs.

Additionally, both displays come equipped with other technologies including LowBlue Mode and the 49'' has Flicker-Free technology. LowBlue Mode was developed for wellbeing and uses a smart software technology to reduce potentially irritating blue light for easy-on-the-eyes productivity. Due to how brightness is controlled on LED screens, many users experience flicker on their screen which can cause eye fatigue. Flicker-Free technology applies a new solution to regulate brightness and reduce flicker for a more comfortable viewing experience.

The new Philips Brilliance 49'' SuperWide Curved LCD Display will be available in March at Amazon and NewEgg for $1299 MSRP and the new Philips Brilliance 32" 4K Display will be available in February at Amazon and NewEgg for $799 MSRP.
