It’s just a plug and play affair- simply insert the the enclosed IEC power cord into your wall. Take them out and the top lifts off to reveal an assembled display with the stand and sound bar already in place. The 559M1RYV arrives in a large TV-style box that’s held shut by plastic plugs. For gamers specifically, it offers a lot of compelling features with solid performance. The display offers a few advantages over a television and can function as one as long as you don’t need an internal tuner. Is the $1,599 559M1RYV more expensive than a comparably sized TV? Yes, but not significantly.

And you don’t need additional software to run it. It comes with a myriad of effects that can flash, breathe, pulse or even follow/mimic the onscreen action. Rather than the cosmetic LEDs found on many gaming monitors, Ambiglow is a truly useful accessory that can function as either a bias light or as an enhancement to gaming. Philips’ other unique feature is its Ambiglow lighting array. While a good dedicated speaker setup will provide better sound, you'll be hard-pressed to find better sound included with a computer display, or a television for that matter. This is a feature often found on high-end subwoofers and large speakers. The subwoofer channel includes a port, which is a carefully shaped hole in the speaker cabinet that extends bass frequencies to lower registers. A Bowers & Wilkins soundbar is permanently installed on the substantial stand, providing high-quality audio in a 2.1 channel configuration, with 40 watts total power. Two of them also provide extra juice for charging devices.Īnd Philips hasn't cut corners on amenities. Philips didn’t skimp on USB ports either, with four downstream USB 3.2 Type-A ports. You also get a USB-C port, which mimics DisplayPort functions and provides 65 watts of power to charge peripherals.

PC users can also up the speed to 144Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort 1.4. That color is accurate, too, and you can easily enjoy the 559M1RYV without calibration if you like.
There's also a wide color gamut which covers over 90% of the DCI-P3 color space. A 1,200-nit FALD backlight with 144 dimming zones helps broaden dynamic range with HDR contrast that tops 200,000:1, as confirmed by our tests. We measured slightly higher numbers in our tests and very impressive results for HDR. The 559M1RYV's VA panel is rated for 4,000:1 contrast natively. The newer model adds a 144Hz refresh rate, Xbox-specific picture modes, HDMI 2.1 and higher contrast thanks to a 144-zone full-array backlight.Ĥ8.5 x 32.8 x 12.1 inches (1232 x 833 x 307mm) Both use VA panels running at a 4K resolution with DisplayHDR 1000, extended color and adaptive sync.
There are currently two 55-inch displays in its jumbo category, the Momentum 558M1RY we reviewed earlier this year and its Xbox-certified cousin, the Momentum 559M1RYV we're testing here. Philips probably isn’t the first name you think of when it comes to gaming monitors, but it makes some very capable display products. Either way, there’s nothing like gaming on a huge display, something that the Philips Momentum 559M1RYV easily demonstrates. But if you get a jumbo monitor, you’re more likely to get additional features like a fast refresh rate, DisplayPort connectivity and Adaptive-Sync. If you stick with a TV, you can enjoy a cheaper but potentially less feature-rich big screen experience. Jumbo panels blur the lines between computer monitors and televisions.
