Smooth pictures, outstanding sound
Three upcoming additions to the Philips Momentum product range will be available as of Q1 2020. As a standout from the trio, the 55” Philips Momentum 558M1RY delivers UltraClear 4K UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels) resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate and VESA-verified DisplayHDR 1000 to invite players to jump straight into the action. The sound is exceptional, too. No wonder as it is the result of a collaboration with Bowers & Wilkins. Every gaming session benefits from balanced bass, crystal clear voice and immersive audio performance. Three selectable audio modes specifically developed for games let users fine-tune the experience to their liking.
At the forefront of audio innovation for the past 50 years, Bowers & Wilkins is recognised around the world for its cutting-edge home speakers, headphones, and car audio solutions. For the past two years, TP Vision, exclusive licensee for Philips TV, has partnered with Bowers & Wilkins to co-create exceptional products that bring together each company’s technological strengths and expertise to offer the very best in audio-visual performance, resulting in numerous awards and accolades such as the EISA Home Theatre TV of the Year for the past two years. Andy Kerr, director of Product Marketing & Communications at Bowers & Wilkins, comments:
“True Sound is at the heart of everything we do at Bowers & Wilkins, from our world-class high-end loudspeakers to our award-winning partnership with Philips TV. Now, working with Philips monitors, we are delighted to bring True Sound to gaming consumers, thanks to the 55” Momentum 558M1RY. I’m certain we’ll have just as much success!”
Featuring DisplayHDR 600, the 31.5” Philips Momentum 328M1R displays a broad range of contrast at 120 Hz refresh rate and in 4K resolution to make gaming sessions with darkened environments even easier on the eyes. With its 27” format, the Philips Momentum 278M1R delivers frame rates of 60 Hz to produce crisp and stutter-free 4K resolution images.
All three monitors feature the innovative signature Ambiglow technology, a halo of light that makes all kinds of entertainment extend beyond the edges of the screen for the most immersive experience. All three Momentums are equipped with Adaptive-Sync technology for silky smooth images and low input lag. In interplay with the SmartImage technology game mode, Philips monitors deliver visuals that leave nothing to be desired for passionate console owners.
