Philips Momentum 34M1C5500VA 34-inch Curved Gaming Monitor with 165Hz

In addition to the Philips Momentum 27M1C5500VL, another new curved gaming monitor has appeared on the Amazon UK website. The Philips Momentum 34M1C5500VA 34 inch curved monitor features a VA panel with UWQHD resolution (3440 x 1440 pixels, 21:9), up to 165Hz, 1500 R curvature, and HDR10 support.

Other features are a 3000:1 contrast ratio, a 4 ms fast gray change response time, and 8-bit color depth. Philips 34 inch curved monitor has a brightness of 300 cd/m², which is why you shouldn’t expect a particularly convincing experience in terms of HDR.

Adaptive Sync (probably with LFC) eliminates tearing in games. The 34-inch curved screen monitor may even come up with a mode to prevent the blurring of moving images. On the other hand, two internal 5-watt speakers are guaranteed. On the connection side, there are two DisplayPorts 1.4 (UWQHD at max. 165 Hz), two HDMI 2.0 inputs (UWQHD at max. 144 Hz), a USB 3.2 hub (Gen 1), and a headphone output.

With rotation, tilt, height adjustment, VESA mount (100 x 100 mm), blue light filtering, and flicker-free backlight, hardly any ergonomic wishes remain unfulfilled. The large curved monitor has a power consumption of 31 watts (SDR) or 62 watts (HDR). The Philips 34M1C5500VA is mercury-free, weighs 7.05 kg without the stand, and measures 808 x 366 x 107 mm (W x H x D).
