Questions about Philips 49B2U5900CH

With the 5K 60Hz basic setting, the open windows on the monitor have multiple slight (1-2 cm wide) shadow frames. These unsightly window shadows disappear with the monitor USB setting 'High Resolution' and 75Hz. I am amazed that the manual on page 42 lists 60Hz as the recommended setting.

Hello I would like to use the integrated webcam, but I don't have Windows Hello access. How can I still use the camera?

i am almost convinced to buy this screen, i have been asking and inquiring about it for weeks. I work from home almost 100% and am often on call with colleagues or customers. the integrated camera is therefore very interesting. i'm an SAP programmer, i've been using your predator 35" for years, but it sometimes feels "small" when it comes to working with programs with different toolbars for creating payrollsheets for several important customers in switzerland, this monitor would definitely be a good solution. I have read about the KVM function, very interesting, maybe I will also be able to exploit this option to attach 2 laptops simultaneously. I have one last problem: sharing the screen with other people via Teams or sometimes Zoom or other software. Question: If I share my 49" screen with someone, who at 99% will have a MUCH smaller screen, will it be possible to share only half of the screen, as if it were a separate screen? In this way this shared half of the screen, for the other people, will remain readable and not too small given the resolution and size of my monitor compared to theirs. hope I have explained myself

As there are different descriptions on the net, I would like to be on the safe side. Does the monitor have a 100 watt USB C port and an integrated web cam? Many thanks and best regards

Do I understand correctly that the monitor can be attached to a wall mount / swivel arm with Vesa 100 x 100 mm and a payload of approx. 20 kg (or is this not quite so easy due to the "curved" design)? Thank you very much!

Hello I've just bought this screen for more efficient home office work. Until now I've had 2 24" screens + the screen of my HP professional laptop. I'd like to divide the screen into several sections and display my numerous open windows. Is there a program on this screen that automatically manages different window distributions (e.g. on the Samsung Odyssey G9, by pushing the window in the centre upwards, the screen proposes several distributions where to place the window). If so, how does it work? Do you need to install a program on the computer? (Not possible on the professional!). I've seen that some Philips screens have a function called "SmartDesk" which seems to manage this. What about this one? Thanks for your answers and help Jamouir.

To Petra-SophiaG: Thank you very much for your answer! But do you just have a gigabit connection (which will always be the case anyway) or actually 110 MB/sec. throughput? throughput? Only download, or also upload, where the data has to go out at the same time as the video signal?

I have considered this monitor because of the two USB-C ports and would like to connect two notebooks with just one USB-C cable each (no additional HDMI or DP connection). The computers would have network access via the monitor's RJ45. However, only one of the computers would be active at a time. According to the manual, it appears that the USB connection cannot handle the full native resolution together with full Gigabit Ethernet, which is why you can switch between "High Data Speed" and "High Resolution". Has anyone had any experience of how this works? How much Ethernet speed is still possible with High Resolution? Are there only restrictions for HDR signals? If you use High Data Speed, is the full native resolution not possible? Or no longer 60Hz? Or simply no HDR picture?

does this monitor have a camera (visible in the pictures) or not (there is nothing in the specs)? Or what else is the difference to the more expensive https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/philips-49b2u6900ch-5120-x-1440-pixel-4880-monitor-41389994?

PC connected I am now trying to connect the lenovo notebook via usb c1 and would like to have both on the screen How do I have to set fies ? Kvm alone does not work Thanks for the help

Is this monitor better than the https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/philips-499p9h00-5120-x-1440-pixel-49-monitor-10397314? Or "only" the successor? What is the difference between Pixel resolution (here 5120 x 1440 pixels) and Image resolution (here QHD (2560 x 1440))?

Does the monitor really have 1500R? According to reviews on the web it is 1800R... Thanks for a short answer.

Hello everyone I bought the Philips screen. Then I have a Logitech Wireless keyboard and a Logitech Wireless mouse. Then I have the ThinkPad laptop from Lenovo for business (various ports) and a MacBook for private use (only USB C ports). I'm just wondering what kind of docking station I need? Can anyone help me? There are various docking stations from Lenovo to choose from. I would also like to be able to charge the laptop via the docking station. Help!

Hello everyone, Can someone answer the following question regarding the Philips 49B2U6900CH monitor ? I have an HP Omen notebook with 140W battery power and would like to connect it to the Philips 49B2U6900CH monitor via USB-C. Since the monitor only has 100W USB Type-C power supply, I am not sure if there could be problems when connecting the notebook to the monitor. If the problem was just charging the device, then I could probably just connect the notebook power supply in addition, right? My goal is to connect the notebook via USB-C, RJ-45 (LAN) to the monitor and additionally via HDMI to a PS5, so that I can switch between notebook and PS5 with the KVM function. Thank you in advance for your help :)

This monitor has a resolution of 5120 x 1440 pixels, i.e. 2 monitors with 2560 × 1440 pixels, so why a 5K monitor? This resolution definitely doesn't come close to UHD...? Can anyone help me with this? And has anyone ever made the comparison with a UHD monitor? Are the differences striking? Thank you!

The monitor is great, easy to connect to a Mac with its native resolution (5120 x 1440), and has enough ports to connect other devices. However, I would recommend considering a monitor with a higher resolution of 5120 x 2160 and a 40-inch screen. This would provide a clearer picture, especially for small objects or text.

Hello everyone, Can someone answer the following questions about PBP: 1. does the monitor recognise a second source and then switch to PBP, and if only one source is active, is it displayed full screen? 2. how do I switch keyboard and mouse from one source to the other without the installed software? Many thanks in advance :-)

I have connected two notebooks via USB-C. This works perfectly so far. I can display both computers at the same time, as well as switch computers using the on-screen buttons and the KVM (i.e. keyboard and mouse) also switch. What doesn't work, however, is switching with the HotKey. The instructions say that you can switch from one computer to another by pressing Ctrl 3 times. After pressing three times, nothing happens at all. After pressing twice, a bright circle about 5cm in size appears around the mouse and the rest of the screen is darkened (like a kind of spotlight). I don't understand what the point of this is. Does switching via HotKey work for anyone? And if so, what am I doing wrong?

Hello to all proud 49B2U5900CH owners and product experts. Is it just me or do you also experience that when you close your laptop, the monitor cannot be brought out of sleep mode? Even if the laptop is locked and closed, the monitor doesn't want to know anything about it until I switch the monitor off and on again. The monitor only reacts when it is switched on. My constellation: - Surface Laptop Studio 2 - Surface USB C Dock(New Gen.) - Connected to the monitor via USB-C - Mouse/keyboard dongle already tested on both variants (on the monitor and on the external dock) On the device side, I am sure that the problem is neither with my PC nor with the dock. To make sure, I tested another monitor in the same constellation (without integrated dock). The monitor starts up when the keyboard or mouse is moved. Thanks in advance for your expertise.

salesservant, okay, curvature added to the description. It says 1500R. So contradicts to the link you provided with.

What is the curvature of this monitor? 1800R? 1500R? 1000R? Even the official website does not say anything about that. I guess it is the same as on 49B2U5900CH, which is 1800R, but would be good to know that for sure.

Brack and Fust offer a manufacturer's warranty of 36 months for this device. Why does digitec only offer a 24-month warranty? Is this a mistake?

Question for other Philips 49B2U5900CH users: do you have the 'Smart Image' Low Blue Mode as described in the User Guide p.23? I don't have this mode at all. It is neither available on the monitor itself nor in the Smart Control 6.19 software.

I would like to connect this monitor to a laptop, an HP Elitebook, before I order I would need to know how to find out if the graphics card can handle this resolution?

I have a question regarding the programme windows. Is it possible to set what happens when you double-click a programme (e.g. Word) to switch to full screen mode? In other words, can you split the screen into two or three separate screens? So that it behaves as if there were two or three separate screens, so that Word only goes into "full screen mode" on the left monitor and not on the full 49"?

On my Philips 49B2U5900CH-00, the 'Low Blue Mode' is missing from the SmartImage Modes. According to the product manual, page 23, there should be 8 modes - in my case there are only 7. Can anyone confirm this?

Hello I work mainly from home and have 2 Dell S2721DS monitors. I have 2 laptops connected to these 2 screens (1 x for private use / 1 x business). I have connected the peripherals (keyboard, mouse, camera, headphones, printer) via a USB switch using a USB splitter. The private laptop has an Aspire 517-53G display card. I don't know about the business laptop. I am currently working with a resolution of 2560 x 1940 59 HZ and have extended the desktop of the respective laptop to both screens. I am now wondering whether I could replace the existing configuration with this 49B2U5900 CH. My idea is to have, for example, one application (e.g. Word) open on the left side of the OS and another application open on the right side and work with them simultaneously (i.e. I don't want one application to be minimised when the other application is clicked). Now my questions: - Is a 49B... usable in the same way as the view on 2 extended screens? - Can the 49B... also be used in the home office (and not as a gaming screen)? If the resolution of the screen is larger (5120 x 1440 pixels) than /2560 x 1940), does this mean that the screen can be used with the highest resolution of the graphics card (2560 x 1940)? - Does it make sense to replace 2x S2721 screens with 1x 49B ... and will I have the same result? Many thanks for your valuable tips Stéphane
