Philips 439P1 4K VA monitor with KVM switch and USB-C

With the Philips 439P1, a new 43-inch best 4K monitor has been introduced for business and office purposes. The 4K HDR monitor has a VA panel with 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels), a maximum refresh rate of 60 Hz, and DisplayHDR-400 certification.

Further features are a 4000: 1 contrast ratio, 10-bit color depth, 400 cd/m² brightness, and 4 ms response time (gray to gray). The 4K PC monitor promises 126 percent sRGB, 90 percent Adobe RGB, a Delta-E value of less than 2, and Adaptive-Sync against tearing. However, the function must probably do without LFC (“Low Framerate Compensation”), which means that it would only work in a restricted Hz range. Two integrated 5-watt loudspeakers act as sound generators if required.

The interface selection consists of two HDMI 2.0 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.4, an HDMI 1.4 connection, a USB 3.2 hub, and a headphone output. On top of that, there is USB-C with KVM switch functionality, 100-watt power delivery, and DisplayPort alternate mode. RJ-45 and RS232 are also not missing. By the way, picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture modes can be switched on via OSD.

On the ergonomic side, rotation, inclination, height adjustment, VESA mounting (200 x 200 mm), blue light filtering, and flicker-free background lighting can be used. Apparently, a pivot mode is omitted. The power consumption of the monitor is between 43.9 and 46 watts, depending on the operating mode.

Price and availability

The Philips 439P1 4K HDR monitor is now available from Amazon.co.uk online retailer at a price of around £669.99.

  1. Hmmm

    From my viewpoint (small business CAD owner-retired)

    This monitor has some of the best specs currently available (June 2023) for a business class (not gaming) monitor solution. Take a look at its closest competitor Dell’s new 43″ 4K monitor.

    The only real connectivity difference is the Philips has 3 hdmi 2.0 ports and 1 displayport while the Dell has 2 of each…

    On the other hand the Phillips has a massive advantage in color quality and gamut. 126% RGB vs Dell’s meager 95%.

    Finally: Dell is selling its monitor for $1000 compared to phillips 439P1 43″ monitor which can be had for just $670 (in other words I could justify buying a spare Philips…)

    On the flip side: Dell’s warranty, service and support clearly outshines Philips by a considerable margin which is a major consideration for what in my case is a mission critical piece of hardware…

    PS: It would be great of some of the owners of the Philips 439P1 43″ would offer a review of the monitor
