If you like to sit a little back from your monitor, or just prefer one giant screen to a couple of smaller ones, Philips new monster 4K display could be right up your street. The 40 inch panel has a gentle curve to it and features very high contrast ratios for bright and colourful images.

Built using a VA LCD panel with W-LED backlighting, the display features a full 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160) in a 16:9 ratio, stretched across its full 40 inch panel. It also features a super-wide viewing angle of 178 degrees vertically and horizontally, thanks to what Philips called its ?optimised pixel management technology.?

Colour wise, the Philips BDM4037UW supports 85 per cent of the NTSC gamut, thanks to hardware enhancements Philips has made with its ?ultra wide colour? feature. Response time is listed at 4Ms, with a ?smart contrast? ratio as high as 20,000,000:1. It is capable of 60Hz refresh rate when using DisplayPort.

Finally out! I've been looking forward to it for a while.

It's a VA panel, so the contrast should be great. Looking forward to the reviews!

For monitor 16:9 can be 34" max if you force it. Lager than that 21:9 IMO

Wow that's a bargain! Only e590!

If they offer a GSync one for $1k, I think that will handily steal best gaming monitor from the Predator x34.
