The standard diagonal of a widescreen monitor with an aspect ratio of 21:9 has a value of 34 inches. The point here is mainly the same height of such a monitor as a regular 27″ monitor with a 16:9 ratio.
But not everyone necessarily wants to add another regular monitor to a wide-angle monitor, so they end up using an unnecessarily small diagonal. This is where Philips’ new 40-inch monitor comes in. Here, too, the height and resolution correspond to something – 31.5″ monitors with a resolution of 2560 × 1440. That is, the kind where you have larger dots, but it’s still quite tolerable (94 ppi) .

Not just a larger area
The Philips 40B1U5601H, intended for office use, should just impress you with its larger diagonal. By the standards of wide-angle monitors, this large surface is also surprisingly not curved, but it is more suitable for work use. Tables in Excel, lines in Illustrator, or shots during video editing, you probably prefer in a flat, undistorted design. The IPS panel used does not suffer from color rendering distortions at the edges of the screen, where you look at them from a larger angle, so the lack of curvature does not matter here either. At the same time, the monitor supports up to 120 Hz, which will slightly improve the feeling when scrolling long documents.
