Hi everyone I'm Ricky from tech talking is this the monitor every console gamer is
hoping for let's find out as I go through the highlights and features and
give my all review of the Philips momentum 43 inch 4k HD our console
gaming monitor with Philips amber glow lighting the model number for this is 4
3 6 m6 v be a be quite a mouthful there in the description you're gonna find a
link to Philips UK and also the best price here in the UK and US so based at
the time of recording here in the UK it's costing about 800 pounds is fairly
large price points but believe me it's worth it with the features that you're
gonna experience and the gameplay I'm gonna show as well it's just amazing
playing Red Dead has been an absolute great on this monitor first of all we're
gonna start with ultra clear 4k UHD resolution this has a resolution of 3840
by 2160 it is really high resolution this means it's great for gaming as well
as using it for CAD design 3d graphic design or photograph design as well the
display size itself is 43 inch but actual size measurements is 42.5 inches
or 108 centimeters and this is always dying and all across the display well so
you have a large display for spreadsheets and paperwork that you can
really have a number of files open or windows open as well so one of the
highlights and features about this monitor that I really want to point out
is the display HDR 1000 which is first a certified and delivers a dramatically
different visual experience unlike other HD compatible screens where it tries to
push to that limit this is certified for HDR 1000 giving bright colors deep
colors as well and makes your games come alive so when I was playing the Xbox one
X and Red Dead Redemption and other games just looked amazing
I'm just so drawn in so this offers up to a thousand nits of brightness it
renders full of pallets of rich new colors delivering a visual experience
that engages your senses so that means is all the colors are going to come
alive your blacks going to look darker colors are going to look brighter also
thanks to quantum dot technology is see it to believe it color the colors are
really coming alive being vibrant dynamic and rich in color with the
blacks being more black the colors pop in and coming alive
making your blue bluer your greens greener and your Reds redder
also you have village amber glow that intensifies entertainment with a halo of
light so the strip is underneath the bottom edge of the monitor and will
change and adjust depending on the light that is shown on the screen so I have
shown this in the video so please watch out for that so Philips amber glow adds
a new dimension to your viewing experience the unitive amber glow
technology enlarges the screen vibrating and immersive halo of light is fast
processor analyzes the incoming image content and continuously adapts the
color and brightness of the admitted light to match the image user-friendly
options allow you to adjust the ambience to your liking especially suited for
watching movies sports or playing games Philips and aglow offers you a unique
and immersive viewing experience which is very true and it really draws you
rings to screen and you'll see that during the gaming experience and when I
show off the lights as well next up is low input lag which reduces time delay
between devices to monitor this means when you're online you're gonna get the
first shot on Call of Duty you're gonna be the first to kill someone or you're
going to be the first to score when playing Fifa online this helps with
video games particularly important for playing fast-paced competitive games
this monitor like many other Philips monitors has multi-view which enables
active dual content and view at the same time so this means you can have picture
in picture or picture by picture so you can have two live streams of a movie and
your work or you can have a movie in your game we could have the football one
in the background so you could see the score but you could still work as well
which is great to see so one thing I've really enjoyed about this monitor is the
enhanced audio with DTS sound DTS sound is an audio processing solution designed
for optimizing the playback of music movie streaming in games on PCs
regardless of form factors DTS sound enables an immersive virtual surround
sound experience complete with a rich bass and dialogue enhancement and
maximized volume levels free of any clipping or Distortion and it has really
been enjoyable especially when it's coming to the gaming aspect I've really
enjoyed the sound here music has been great as well movies have been an
enjoyment to watch especially with the large
lay this monitor also offers fill it's adaptive sync technology with smooth
quick refresh and ultra fast response time again this will be connecting
through certain ports shame it's not Nvidia g-sync but it is using Philips
adaptive sync technology so all your connections through one USB see cable to
the new USB 3.1 type-c cable with a slim and reversible connection offers an easy
one able docking simply by connecting your peripherals to the monitor as a
dark with one cable the notebook including high resolution video output
from your PC to monitor with a USB 3.1 you also get fast data transfers up to
20 times as fast as USB 2.0 allowing you to transfer a 4k movie faster than ever
and all your connections through one simple cable so if you have a device
that uses a USB C cable that allows for display throughput this is going to be
great and handy then to finish up you have your USB 3 hub for convenient
access and fast charging your device's if you want to that's located where all
your other ports are so looking at our display here so like I said it is very
reflective as you can see it reflects everything so that's a little
disappointing but otherwise it's just a sheer enjoyment someone connected to my
macbook pro through display port two thunderbolt on my macbook it's work
seamlessly connected straightaway didn't have any issues either so talking about
the remote first of all you've got your power at the top the left hand side is
your input selection the right side is your menu and you have navigation
throughout the middle and an OK button this one on the left hand side is your
presets so you can change in just your presets here and it's all based around
gaming and there's eight different options to choose from
so once highlighted if you go through you'll see the display automatically
change and adjust depending on your choice again it's depending on the game
you're playing as well but when I'm on the Xbox one X it will automatically
detect and change the HDR 1000 to give me the best options possible then also
you have a back button as well and then finally you have following control and
brightness control at the bottom remote control is really handy it's not very
slippery there you have a matte finish at the front and a glossy finish on the
rear so going into our menu option here we have a rain
of options in menu the first one I want to talk about is the amber glow systems
inside here you can change and adjust so this one is going through the lights
again you can change the level of brightness coming down here at the
bottom you can select which actual lights you want to have shining all the
time there's a whole wide range of lighting as well which is great to see
so coming along you have your low blue mode as well so to help your eyes and
protection and finally one other highlighting optional and talk about is
the picture in picture or picture by picture so you can come in here and
change the picture and picture picture by picture mode so taking a side look
are displayed on the edges it's very thin bulge out around the back as well
because it houses all the components so you've got really nice matte finish here
then you got a side glossy finish as well and it's glossy on the back when I
show you the back we're talking about adjustability it only has one motion and
that is tilt so you can tilt it's -5 degrees so which is that it's a very
little movement to +10 degrees so which is that so there's not a great amount of
movement here or adjustments which is a shame as it is a large display that is
all you're gonna get so now let's take a look at the back and its ports so it's
only ramps the back of our monitor at the top you've got Phillips finding that
really glossy finish it reflects everything just like the screen which is
a little bit unfortunate screen is so reflective the bottom again you've got a
glossy finish and then running through the middle is the matte finish then
underneath is where all of your connections are so I'm going to light
down and we can have a look at the connections so first of all starting
near the stand you can unscrew your stand here and take your stand off then
use the VESA mount you can see your power connections this is where you're
gonna connect it in your power and it was great that there was no power brick
needed as well so coming across then you have your HDMI port so this is 2.0 you
have your display port I wish there was either more display ports or more HDMI
ports as it is full console gaming I have both consoles so it would have been
nice to have to moving along further you have your mini DisplayPort and USB C
connection ethel at one cable connection control and then coming along this side
you've got your USB s which are fast charging you've got your audio in and
your headphone jack there as well so one thing I just wanna highlight here is
great you have all these connections but it's slightly annoying trying to connect
them as it is up and under the stand it's
very fiddly and very hard to connect your devices are doing nice if it was
either just flat from the back panel here or at the side making it easier to
use again you can see the matte finish here you do have your joystick control
stick system over here which is great I've used it a couple of times but
mainly ivory used the remotes again like I said you do have a Kensington lock on
here as well so coming up I just want to point out the VESA connection here this
is 200 by 200 to finish up I want to give you my personal review of the
monitor I've really enjoyed this one thing I don't like about it is it's so
reflective it reflects everything so it's best to use at night time so during
the day it really reflects everything which can be a little bit distracting
otherwise actually expanded our beautiful simple design I like the stand
the screen itself is just immersive it just pulls you in with 4k the HDR and
just the amber glow as well is really made the content come alive that is on
my display Gaming wise I use this 90% of gaming through the Xbox one X and it's
just been a sheer enjoyment so I hope you enjoyed the gaming section that I
showed during my review it was just so enjoyment to watch I was just playing
Red Dead Redemption and just walking around or riding a horse and the scenery
and just the design looked amazing on this display and they really come along
so 4 to 3 inch is quite large so this does take up most of my desk so you
maybe need to think size before buying so please make sure you measure up and
make sure it's for exercise for you for me 43 inches
pushing its limits as obviously of my eyesight I can't see that wide so it's
just been sheer enjoyment to use and I don't want to give it back though tell
them I don't want to give it back this is something I don't want to give back
but thanks always for watching and if you do have any questions or queries
please drop a comment down below being more than happy town thanks always
watching I hope you enjoyed my review of the philips momentum 43h 4k HDR console
gaming monitor massive thank you to Philips who did survive in it give me a
