In this article, we’ll explore eight reasons to get a large 4K monitor, including an expansive 42.51” size, UltraClear 4K UHD, 3840 x 2160 resolution, IPS LED, MultiView, SmartUniformity, SmartImage, Flicker-free, as well as HDMI and DisplayPort. What can all these features do for you? Let’s find out.
Our 438P1 measures 42.51”, putting it in the 43” class of monitors, and the foremost reason for wanting a monitor this big, is its huge screen size. This expansive amount of screen real estate gives you much more visual room to work with, boosting your productivity without having to deal with cumbersome multi-monitor setups.
Size matters, but image quality does too. To ensure the 438P1’s performance matches its impressive size, we have equipped it to deliver UltraClear 4K UHD with 3840 x 2160 resolution. Thanks to its 4K UHD clarity, the visuals and videos displayed on this super-sized monitor are much sharper and precise, which is vital in fields like professional image editing or video production, as well as home entertainment.
With a screen that measures more than 40”, you would expect nothing less than a beautiful and immersive viewing experience. Using advanced technology, the 438P1’s IPS display gives you remarkably crisp images with vivid colors, alongside extra-wide viewing angles of 178/178 degrees. So not only will you have professionally accurate colors and brightness at all times, it is also possible for you to view the display from almost any angle.
A main benefit of using a 42.51” display is its effectiveness in complex multi-tasking, particularly with the help of Philips MultiView. This feature comes with a Picture-by-Picture (PbP) mode that enables you to have up to four systems displayed on the screen at once. Or, you can have productive collaborations using multiple devices like two notebooks side-by-side. Alternatively, by using the Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode, you can work on your PC while watching a live feed from your set-top box simultaneously.
Color accuracy and consistency are crucial, especially in industries where visuals are paramount, like photography, design and printing. To prevent fluctuations in brightness and color, this monitor employs the Philips SmartUniformity mode, which assesses color accuracy and calibrates to meet average luminance uniformity to produce consistent and accurate images.
With the press of a single button, this monitor’s SmartImage feature provides an optimized display performance. Just select one of the many modes, including Office, Photo, Movie, Game, Economy etc., to fit the application you are using. This leading-edge Philips technology will dynamically analyze the content on the screen to provide the right contrast, color saturation and sharpness.
Having a large screen definitely comes with many benefits, but due to the way brightness is controlled on LED-backlit screens, some users can experience an effect called screen flickering. While virtually unnoticeable to the naked eye, long term exposure to screen flickering can cause eye fatigue. To prevent this, the 438P1 is equipped with Flicker-free technology to regulate brightness while reducing flicker for a more comfortable viewing experience.
To provide you with universal digital connectivity, this monitor is HDMI-ready. This means it accepts all High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) inputs, including high-quality digital video and audio, from a PC or any number of AV sources (including set-top boxes, DVD players, A/V receivers and video cameras). And, to ensure it receives maximum visuals, there is also a DisplayPort connection.
