Philips Brilliance 275P4VYKEB has 5K Resolution PLS Panel

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/09/2015 07:30 AM | source: | 16 comment(s)

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. They are 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.

Ah, the only acceptable high resolution when 1080p is the standard.

I am of the opinion that 27" is too small a screen size to have such a massive resolution to display. With Windows 7 or earlier the text/icons etc. would be to small as this resolution.
Would need 30" at least and even then it would be pushing it.
Also I presume the two Displayport requirement means the monitor is tricking the PC into thinking it is two different half size monitors in Eyefinity like mode then?
I have 24" with 3840x2160 (DELL UP2414Q) currently on Win10, but even Win7 was fine.
a) The system provides DPI scaling on its own - not ideal.
b) DELL bundles software with better DPI scaling (although it uses the system one as underlying)
c) Using your own manifest files helps you scale it where anything else fails.

There is no standard for contrast ratio. No standard test, no standard measurement, nothing. Every company can say whatever the hell they want about contrast ratio. One company's 1:1000 is another's 1:100000. I'm sure the contrast on this panel is far superior to those advertising far greater specs.

To many advances in monitors atm. Either pumping high resolution or high refresh but as the ports are a limiting factor we're not getting the best of both.

Buyers remorse is just around the corner if you buy now.

I'll wait for my 4k with 120hz as i'm sure most are.

Well. As far as maxing out the current biggest cable we have - dp1.2...

There are two monitors coming that combine EVERY feature we could want in a single monitor. With a refresh rate and resolution high enough withing the bandwidth limits and to be considered high enough:

Acer x34 - 34inch, IPS, 3440x1440, 100hz + gsync
Asus pg348q - 34inch, IPS, 3440x1440, 100hz + gsync

Since dp1.3 is a pathetic marginal increase. You really shouldnt expect anything better than this combination of specs for the next 5 years AT LEAST. Maybe 1600p and 160hz of that acer x34. But thats it.

Dp1.2 can do 4k@85hz already, and we have some 75hz 4k`s coming actually. Thats how a pathetically small improvement dp1.3 is gona be. And we wont get anything better than it for the following 5 years or so at least.

So, dont be feared off by "buyers remorse". If you get the upcoming 100hz 1440p widescreens you`ll have the top monitor for the next 7 years AT LEAST.

(unless they make a 5120x2160@90hz monitor really early, which is possible under dp1.3 - then you`ll be remorseful as ****)

That's actually great contrast ratio.

If a manufacturer takes a picture of a monitor showing just white page at full brightness, then display black with back light virtually turned off in a perfect dark room, divide one by another and call it contrast ratio, then you get 1:1000

Just follow the checker test from here:
http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/contrast_ratio.php

It's not perfect, but doable at home.
Good luck hitting 1:1000 with a monitor advertised as 1:100000000000

Again i'm repeating myself, philips BDM4065UC , VA type with dynamic 5000:1 real measured, some 50000000:1 advertised, very high actual contrast, and no scaling issues as 4k @40" is same ppi as 27" 1440p.

Ok, it's 60hz ,but gaming very doable and lag free.

It will sure take a couple of years till anything close comes out to compete with it. My best upgrade in the last five years, upgrade itch is suppressed for a long time...

edit: done the above lagom contrast test, got 2600:1 with a crappy tablet camera and disproportional iso settings, so in reality could be higher;
I'm using the sRGB factory mode with 100% brightness, with the default philips icm profile in windows

VA panels have greater contrast ratio than IPS and less black glow, but they have color shifting and other anomalies - that's tradeoff

You can also make TN panel with greater contrast than IPS, when viewed at perfect perpendicular angle.

Regarding your test - unless it's performed in super-dark room with matte black walls, covered equipment, etc, you'll get less contrast readout than monitor specs, but it'll be more real-life value. The value of 1:2600 obtained with such method is remarkable and shows that VA shouldn't be abandoned.
