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.

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!

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))?

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.

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.

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
