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).
