Philips 45B1U6900C ultra wide monitor for productivity now available in the UK

Philips is now shipping the 45B1U6900C, one of two 45-inch monitors it introduced earlier this year. The new Philips best ultra wide monitor for productivity features a 45-inch panel and 1440p with a 75Hz refresh rate and VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification. The ultrawide curved monitor for work also offers various ports, including two USB Type-C connections with DisplayPort Alt mode and 100W Power Delivery support.

Philips started selling the 45B1U6900C curved monitor USBC, about a couple of months after its introduction. While the 45B1U6900C was launched alongside the 45B1U6900CH, Philips has only started selling the former so far. The fact that the latter includes a webcam implies that it will be more expensive than the 45B1U6900C.

Anyway, the 6000 series best ultra wide monitor for productivity monitor has a 44.5-inch VA display with a native resolution of 5120 x 1440 pixels, a 32:9 aspect ratio, and a refresh rate of 75Hz.
