let's not have the January blues, as I have two monitors for you to choose from sit back, grab a
snack, and let me explain the differences between the Philips 27 M1 F 5500 and the Philips 27m1f
5800, so both these monitors come from the momentum Series, so the 5500 monitor is a Quad HD gaming
Monitor the 5800 is a 4K UHD gaming monitor I thought I'd bring you both these monitors in the
the same video given in my review and shows the key details, a lot of the specs are the same
however, there are some key differences so let's go through those first of all both the monitors
use a nano IPS LCD panel; both have the same size so both of them are 27 inches or 68.5 centimetres
and both utilize 16x9 aspect ratio when it comes to the resolution, this is where we see
our first difference so with a 5500 series. It's 2560 by 1440 144hz alerts via the HDMI and then
it's 2560 by 1440 at 240 hertz via the display port, so moving on to the resolution of the 4K
5800 series, its resolution is 3840 by 2160 at 144 Hertz only both of them have a coating over their
display which helps with anti-glare that's 3H and the haze level is 25, so when it comes to pixel
density again, we have a slight difference here because of the resolution, so with the Quad HD 5500
series, it's 108.79 pixels per inch and with the 4K 5800 series it's 163.18 pixels per inch both
these monitors utilize the one-millisecond grade to grey response time with a low input lag both
of them offer flicker free low blue mode and easy read options, and again we'll be delving into the
accessibility when I highlight and share the key details further on both these monitors have colour
the gamut of DCI P3 98, both of them do have a display HDR, but this is only display HDR 600 certified
so the lower end of the bracket, both of them do offer srgb and adaptive sync technology when it
moves on to your connections and connecting advice again, here we see a slight change so
with the 5500 Series so the Quad HD model you're going to get HDMI 2.0 times 2 and a display port
1.4 times 2. moving to the 4K 5800 series, you're going to see HDMI 2.1 times 2 and the DisplayPort
1.4 times 2. there is a slight difference there when you're looking at your USB hub and your
different connections to peripherals, they are the same so both models have a USB B Upstream of a USB
3.2 Downstream so four of those and two with fast charging both have an audio out option, and both of
then you need to connect audio equipment to them both monitors offer picture by picture environment
so you can use two connected devices at the same time which is great, so Xbox and Playstation my
Mac Mini or my work laptop, or even a PlayStation and something else you could choose whatever
you want to do so when it comes to an ergonomic Design This monitor offers loads of different
options, so it's really important to make sure you're sat correctly if you're either working
a long hard day, or if you're just enjoying gaming throughout the night or early on in the morning so
when it comes to movement, there are a few options that you can choose from so both monitors have a
height adjustment of 130 millimetres you also have the option to Pivot the monitors either
way left or right, and that's 90 degrees, so that's really good for stocks and shares that are really
good for social media or even if you want to read loads of tweets, you also have the option to swivel
your monitor as well so from the centre point you can swivel left or right 45 degrees and this is really
helpful if you want to place it on a corner of your desk or in a different room, you can
just swivel it to see wherever you need to see it both these monitors also have tiltability so
-5 up to a plus 20, which is really good so normally I have my monitor really low down
have it tilted up, and then I can see every think I need to see, so they have a great design, and I
want to talk about that a little bit later on but one of the things I want to mention because a lot
of people comment and ask about the weight so the weight with the stand on the 5500 series is 5.99
kilos and the weight with the stand for the 5800 series is 6.10 kilos, the weights without the stand
on the 5500 series are 4.5 kilos, and the weight without the stand on the 5800 series is 4.6 kilos
I know we all worry about the cost of living or your parents may be worrying about the cost
of living, but when it comes to power consumption when using a 4k monitor will use more power
and that's why it has a G Energy rating compared to an F energy rating for The Quad HD model which
is the 5500 series if you are getting confused please let me know and I'll be always happy to
help so drop a comment down below because it is great to hear from you both of them have a black
coloured design to them, and both have a textured the finish on the back looks nice and fits in well
and to be honest, I've used both these minuses now for a long period of time, and I've enjoyed them
for me, with my vision impairment, this is where it can change and alter a little bit, so with me
I prefer the 4K resolution. It's easier to see it picks up everything I want, and I've been really
impressed with it, and I've used that more over the Quad HD, but I'll explain a little bit more as we
go on, as you would have seen on the back, there's a Kensington lock is great for locking down
your monitor is mainly used in the office but if you don't want your brother or sister or
Is anyone else stealing your monitor? That's a great option to use. also, you would have noticed there is
a Vessa Mount connection which is 100 by 100 so if you don't want to have the stand but replace
it with an arm you can do; let's explore the key features of both these monitors starting with the
Philips 5800 Series has an ultra-clear 4K UHD resolution for precision whether you are a
professional requiring extremely detailed images for CAD designs, a user of 3D graphic applications
or even for myself as a videographer or even a financial wizard using massive spreadsheets or even
stocks and shares Philips makes your images and Graphics come to life and I've really
Enjoyed using the 4K display. It's really helped bring my images to life for me. I sit very close
to my screen, so with a 4K UHD resolution, nothing gets distorted, and I seem to get on with my work
perfectly well. It's also great for social media work so I can post my content throughout all of
my social media networks and make sure to check the video description for all of my links to my
social media accounts, and come and follow me over there as I share different content then also with
this display you get a 144 Hertz refresh rate so you can play intense competitive games you demand
a display with lag, Free Ultra smooth images this Philips display redraws the screen image up to 144
times per second which means effectively, it's 2.4 times faster than a standard display with a lower
frame rate enemies potentially appear to jump from a spot to spot on the screen, making them difficult
targets to hit with 144hz frame rates, you'll get those critical missing images on the screen
showing enemy movement in Ultra smooth motion so you can easily Target them and me when I
play intense gaming experiences I potentially may miss people anyway because my vision it's that bad
however, I still enjoy doing it and with 144 Hertz refresh rate, it means I could potentially get my
shot away before someone sees me just wandering around the corner; now we come on to the features
that both of these monitors have the 5800 series and the 5 500 series and we start with
a low input lag, so having a low input lag will reduce the amount of time that elapses between
performing an action with a connected device and seeing the result on screen, so in simple terms it
is the time it takes when pressing a jump button on a controller and seeing your character jump
on-screen or normally for me, is when they fall off the edge, this will help make your gaming
experience more exciting for anyone playing on a twitch-sensitive game particularly important for
playing fast-paced competitive games like Call of Duty or Fortnite both of these monitors have
Smart image HDR, which gives optimal viewing for your HDR content so you're able to select one of
the smart image HDR mode codes that best suits your needs, so first of all, you have an HDR game to
optimize for playing video games with brighter white and darker black, the gaming scene is more
Vivid and you can spot people so find enemies that are lurking in the dark or hiding in the shadows
next up, you have HDR movies ideal for watching HDR films this has been really good for me when I've
watched Apple TV with all of its content in HDR it delivers better contrast and brightness for a
the more realistic and immersive viewing experience and I've really enjoyed that then you have HDR
the photo, which is enhanced with red green, and blue for lively visuals, which is really good for creating
content for social media such as Instagram Twitter both of these displays also use IPS Nano colour
technology which extends gamma for vibrant visuals for critical Imaging gaming and productivity needs
Nano IPS display provides precise colour accuracy across a wide viewing angle without a colour shift
so when you slightly tilt or move your display you won't notice any Distortion in colour richer
Reds' luscious greens and deeper blues use ultra wide colour with IPS colour technology uses KSF
enhanced Photosphere nanoparticles to absorb excess light created by the screen to produce
amazing colours, and I've really noticed that's been really good, especially using late at night
you'll notice it with your HDR content paired with true to life colour the Philips displays achieve
up to 98 coverage of the DCI P3 colour gamut which is standard for the TV and movie industry
both these monitors also utilize an ultra-wide colour technology which delivers a wider spectrum
of colours for the most brilliant picture, and I hope you agree with me; the pictures have looked
really good, so the ultra-wide colour is a wider colour gamut produces more natural-looking greens Vivid
Reds and deeper Blues bringing media entertainment images and even productivity more alive and more
Vivid with more colours right at you where you need them, and it's really enjoyable to actually
see, and I've had no problems at all haven't had any issues in the past? If you've had anything
or if you've got any feedback, make sure to drop comment below so as you know, being registered
blind, I'm really looking at accessibility especially around my eyes and looking at a monitor for a long
the time I really need the technology to be in there so I'm able to use it for a long time so both of
these monitors have the low blue mode, flicker-free technology and easy eye viewing so with low blue
mode flicker-free technology has been developed to reduce eye strain and fatigue often caused by long
hours in front of a monitor; me there is also another option is the easy read which is a
preset by toggling to the left-hand side with your smart toggle at the back, you can quickly
select easy read, and this will change your whole display to a grayscale making it easier to read
long documents or even used for long periods of the time it's just been a great help to me there are
a couple of options there, and having the smart toggle on the back is really helpful as well. It's
better than having fiddly buttons underneath the bottom bezel, so you might be like me; you always
need to get stuff done, you always want to be as productive as possible, and even if you're trying to
watch multiple different streams of content both of these monitors are 5800 and the 5500 series we
have a multi-view which enables simultaneous dual connection and view with ultra-high resolution
Philips multi-view display you can now experience a world of connectivity multiview enables active
dual connect and view so you can actually work with multiple devices like a PC and notebook
simultaneously for complex multitasking one of the other key features I like about both of these
monitors are the easy-select menu toggle which is quick easy to use it's discreetly placed on the
right-hand side of your monitor so you just feel to the right-hand corner easy select the menu toggle
which allows you to select different options and go through different menu selections, so I've gone
through the talking points for the Philips 5800 series I've gone through the talking points that
both of these monitors share but now it's time to take a look at the talking points for the 5500
series and it starts with your crystal clear images thanks to Quad HD which utilizes high
performance panel with a high-density pixel count and that's enabled by high-bandwidth sources like
DisplayPort HDMI and a dual-link DVI, the new displays will make your images and Graphics
come to life and it's been really enjoyable I've used both the Quad HD variants and the 4K variants
again both for imagery for videography for playing games for me as I mentioned I prefer the 4K model
just because I prefer that little bit more detail however with the Philips 5500 series you also
have the ultra-fast 240 hertz refresh rate for virtually lag-free gaming while playing the most
intense, engaging action-packed games Ultra fast 240-hertz refresh rate enhances an ultra-smooth
lag-free gaming experience, the Philips display redraws the scene up to 240 times per second
effectively faster than a standard display especially for fast-paced games such as first
person shooters racing games, and 240 hertz gives you a superior motion and clear visuals I really
notice the difference and it was really enjoyable to use than the final point about the 5500 series
but I think you could also say this about the 5800 series that is extremely minimalizing four-sided
bezels so virtually frame this display gives a minimalistic look and offers expansive viewing
experiences, so expanding your productivity makes you focus on the Vivid images and what you need
to see on screen significant wide viewing without distraction which is great as I mentioned I really
prefer the toggle being discreetly hidden down the right-hand side of your monitor on the back
that's a lot better than the button controls you do have an LED on the front that just shows when
it's powered on however it's been really enjoyable to use both of these monitors and I've had a lot
of fun with them especially gaming hard work as well I do some hard work with YouTube
and also my day job however, it's down to you now, what do you think is always great to hear
from you however, before I finish I just want to say the price so the Philips 5500 series is 589
pounds here in the UK, there will be a link in the video description and for the Philips 5800
series is 633 pounds it's a slight difference there but it all depends on what you want again the
links will be in the description, but it's great to hear from you leave a comment down below let
