Details matter in graphic design, whether you're working on a massive billboard or an advertising poster. Creating a brand means selecting the best color palette, font, and images to deliver a specific message.

It is the designer's job to see to all these details. And what better way than to work with a monitor that delivers crisp visuals - images and text - to bring a concept to life?

Who needs 4K?

A 4K monitor is just what this professional needs. With approximately 4,000 pixels for its horizontal display resolution, visuals are high definition with topnotch color accuracy making videos and photos appear lifelike.

Details are more evident in 4K screens with nearly 4,000 pixels in horizontal display resolution.

Monitors with 3840 x 2160px resolution are 4K UHD (ultra-high definition). And while gamers - leisure or hardcore - most appreciate an immersive experience provided by high-quality graphics, professionals who work with voluminous text and endless spreadsheets also benefit from this high-resolution screen.

And let us not discount people who edit videos and photos and love watching movies or videos because 4K displays are for them, too.

More space to work with

With better quality images produced by higher resolution, industries reliant on detailed images, like manufacturing and healthcare, can also benefit from 4K monitors.

For content creators, work becomes more exciting with a bigger screen real estate and more vivid details. With higher resolution, the space to work with for program applications increases.

And when images are sharp and colors so vibrant, making minute adjustments translate to better productivity and excellent output.

For gamers and people working with heavy graphics, here's a reminder: always be sure your computer comes with compatible hardware, particularly RAM and GPU/CPU. No matter how state-of-the-art your monitor is, if proper hardware does not support it, you can't fully utilize these features.

Choices for 4K

Philips Monitors offers models with 4K resolution with various screen sizes. The smallest in its latest range is the 27E1N5800 from the 5000 series. Two other recommended models are the 439P1 and 439M1RV, the former from the Business line and the latter, optimized for next-gen console gaming.

Philips Monitors 439M1RV offers optimized performance for next-gen gaming.

Besides the Ultra Clear technology, these 4K displays share the MultiView function. This feature allows active dual connect and view from multiple devices with no difference in image quality.

Since the 439P1 is a business monitor, its MultiView enables the display of up to four systems in full HD on a single screen through its Picture-by-Picture (PbP) or Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode.

PbP can monitor multiple systems such as in surveillance using one display, while PiP allows watching a live sports tournament feed from a cable box while working on your PC.

Both 43" monitors (439P1 and 439M1RV) have a USB Type-C connector with power delivery. With a single cable connection, a compatible device can be power-charged while simultaneously watching a high-resolution video or transferring data at super speeds.

Enhancing visuals through color

While smaller, the 27" 27E1N5800 boasts color enhancement technology making it suitable for intense gaming. Aside from the 3840 x 2160px resolution, it features the SmartImage game mode, which optimizes colors, speed, and strategies depending on the option selected before play.

Pair that with the SmartContrast technology exclusive to Philips Monitors, which adjusts colors and controls backlight intensity, and contrast is dynamically enhanced while playing. This analysis also works for everyday office applications and is a power-saving feature.

Philips Monitors 439P1 features the Compact Ergo Base for maximum viewing comfort and efficiency.

Optimized for next-gen gaming performance, 439M1RV with its 144Hz refresh rate at 4K guarantees smooth play for PC gamers in vivid clarity. But when plugged into a gaming console, players enjoy ultra-clear movement and less-skipped frames with 4K ultra-clear visuals at 120Hz refresh rates.

Not to be outdone in color-enhancing technology, the 439P1 is a display that is VESA-certified DisplayHDR™ 400. Since it is a true DisplayHDR™ 400, its brightness, colors, and contrast are astounding. With richer colors, the visual experience engages the senses.

The Ultra-Wide Color technology complements this with a broad spectrum of colors that create more brilliant visuals. For gamers, movie enthusiasts, and entertainment-hungry individuals, this combination raises the bar in visual quality.

And there is no need to worry even if all the colors, brightness, and vivid imagery may assault the eyes for extended periods. Philips Monitors provides the LowBlue mode, Flicker-Free technology, and EasyRead mode precisely to protect against eye fatigue and strain.

Finally, these models are equipped with people-friendly monitor base, which can swivel, tilt and rotate the screen, and is height-adjustable to ensure displays are set up for maximum viewing comfort and efficiency.

With 4K monitors, you get more than just extremely brilliant visuals. Colors, contrast, and brightness all matter whether it’s a picture, text, spreadsheet, or video.
