Welcome everyone i know 2020 wasn't the best of years however it was the year we saw the launch
of two next-generation consoles being the ps5 from sony and the Xbox series x and series s from
Microsoft today we will be unboxing and setting up the perfect partner for the brand new ps5 and
xbox series x as we unbox the brand new philips momentum gaming monitor so on the front here if we
take a look at the top left it's 27 inches or 68.6 centimetres in size and this is always measured
diagonally across the display, it's an LCD display with ambiglow from philips which we've shown before
on the momentum monitor, it looks really nice and really enhances your gaming experience
it's 4k ultra hd and its resolution is 3840 by 2160. the model number for this monitor is 278m1r
the link will be in the description to phillips uk and also amazon where roughly at the moment
of filming is about 500 pounds underneath that it says take gaming to the next level
and we're moving into the next level of console generation and this monitor is going to do it
great and suit it well it has an ips wide viewing angle display which means everyone and you can see
everything from all different angles of your display 4k ultra high definition offers hdr it
comes with hdmi it also offers superior dts sound so everything is going to sound crisp and clear
thanks dts sound so now let's get it unboxed on top you'll see unpacking information make sure
to take care when you're unpacking your monitor so you don't damage yourself or your new display
so taking a look at our contents that we receive in the box first of all is our uk three pin plug
and this is for connecting into our power brick here you see the top right hand side quite a large
external power brick there which is needed for this display we have then manuals and a cd and
other information there so if you need to know any paperwork that's there you have a t-bar stand and
we've got our column both in this nice gray finish and that has a metal design to it so it's going to
be strong and sturdy then we have our display port to display port connection here so if you want to
use a display port that's great our main one that we're going to be using is our hdmi cable here
so as you'll see there just in the top right hand corner is the xbox series x we're going
to be using that as well as the playstation 5. we have a hdmi cable here so that's what we get
inside the box so now let's connect the column and stand so here is our column
and here is our stand so t-bar stand and column design all that does is sit inside here
so it sits in there quite nicely turn around it has rubberized feet at the bottom
to protect your desk and offer more stirred ability to use the locking nut here provided
and you can also use a screwdriver if you want to just make sure that's really locked in place
that's good for me fold that down stand that up you have some cable management on the back here
and we're going to get out our display now and connect up our display to the column and stand so
here is our philips momentum display and as you'll notice straight away is the ambiguous system that
runs around the left top and the right hand side which really adds to the experience of gaming and
we'll jump into that further once we go into the review and once it's set up so underneath here we
can see our port so first of all we have our power you have hdmi you have your display port you have
your headphone jack here you have your upstream usb so this will connect into your device may that
be desktop laptop macbook whatever you're going to choose fast charging usb normal standard usb 3
fast charging and usb as well so all usb 3.0 you have a joystick control stick option here
for navigation and going through your menu selections you also have a kensington lock to
lock down your monitor as well which is great to see then taking our column and stand here
so this will slot in so i recommend doing the top pins first and the bottom ones
clicks in there is a release catch underneath to slide up and that will release nice and easy
there we go and that's ready now to set up so with a snap of a finger i'm going to set it up and
back shortly just before i connect up all the cables and restrict the movement let's have a
look at the ergonomic designs there is a couple of options here first of all is that you can swivel
left and right
great you also have the option of tilting your display so upwards and downwards then finally
you have the option of height adjustment as well so its lowest point is here and taking it up to
its highest point which is here you can tilt up you can swivel and you can have it wherever you
want also you could move the column and stand to wherever you need it but now let's connect it up
welcome back our philips momentum monitor is all set up and ready to go and it's get set ready for
gaming in the next generation of console gaming partnered with a next generation monitor for
console gaming so can't wait to test it out so to the right hand side i have my xbox series x
connected into the monitor and to the left hand side i have the mac mini which i will use
this monitor to edit this video and share with you very soon so now all that's left is to show some
game clips and some highlights of some games let's just share some further key details of the philips
momentum monitor as you'll see in video clips and game trailers and it's great with the ambi glow
light system behind it so it has an ultra clear 4k uhd panel and i said the resolution is 3840x2160
it has smart image game mode optimized for gamers so you can change the options you want to choose
from we'll definitely be looking at all of these during the review it also offers a low input lag
reduces time delay between devices to monitor again that's really great for gaming especially
online gaming especially rpg games as well such as call of duty modern warfare and also fortnite
so different options there available to you one great thing when it comes to accessibility
here is the flicker-free technology so if you suffer from flickering monitor this alternates
the lighting pattern that this monitor uses it offers flicker-free technology it has the
ambiglo intensitive entertainment with a halo of light and as you can see from the images
it looks really great as well subtly changing depending what you'll do and we'll jump into
that again a lot further during the review now has enhanced audio experience with dts sound
it does sound really impressive all the audio you're hearing is direct from the speakers
and it is really loud so currently i think it was a set around 75 on the level of intensity
that the sound which is great really impressed to see that it has the smart image hdr which
gives optimal viewing from your hdr content again great for when it comes to gaming next
generation console gaming offers hdr this monitor will deliver that to you and it's exciting to see

swivel and height adjustment for the ideal viewing angle wherever you're going to sit and enjoy your
gaming experience or you may be standing so there's some of the key highlighting factors of
