Philips Reveals Two New 'Designed For Xbox Series X' Monitors

Pardon my ignorance, but how are the sounds on these monitors? Will I be buying a separate sound system with these or do they come with tiny speakers built-in?

@PhhhCough good question. They do have 2 small speakers hidden somewhere but I can’t see them. Found this under technical specifications:
Convenience

Built-in Speakers
5 W x 2, DTS Sound

Nearly 800 quid for a 27inch. Jog on.

I paid 299 for my 27 inch FullHD 1080P curved and it does me fine. I don't care if it gets up off the stand and makes you a cup of tea, that's a rip off.

Aren't Phillips owned by Sony? If so I find this amusing.
Needs to be cheaper dammit!!!

You can buy a 4k OLED TV that's much bigger than these for the same price or less.

Wow these are overpriced. I bought a 40-inch Samsung for a little over 200 bucks. It doesn't do VRR or 120hz, but VRR will be less and less necessary as the gen goes on, and 120hz isn't important to everyone.

I'd rather just wait for OLED to get cheaper and more reliable.

@Nic-Noc20th-C no Philips has sold ittv and monitor businesses to tpv who also makes aoc monitors.most of the other Philips products are made by them.
Strangely hvc, Hitachi, Toshiba and Panasonic tvs are alps made by vestel in turkey. Only the Koreans, the Chinese and Sony still own their brand names

While it may seem like a high price, this is pretty much in line with the competition. Yes you can buy bigger TVs with these functions for around or a little much. But as far as monitors go to make the jump to 4k and 120hz with hdmi 2.1 the cheapest monitor on the market is the gigabyte m28u for $649 if you can even find in stock which is hard. As time goes these monitors will drop in price but unfortunately $7-900 is about the going rate currently for a monitor with these specs and size.

These are good if your after a monitor and don’t mind the smaller size compared to TVs. Personally I’m going for the 65” 9636. It’s got everything for the Series X. I was going to go for the Samsung Neo 95A but I’m sick of them never implementing Dolby Vision after omitting them for years with every new model. I’m intrigued by the 4 sided Amiblight which many say is really great.

Quite happy with 4k Samsung 55"...
would love 55/65/75", 120hz, 3 x 2.1, Dolby vision, Dolby audio, but then, I'd also like to win the lottery

Wouldn't touch a Philips monitor with a barge poll.

I'm good with my MSI 32" curved 4K HDR monitor, thank you. I guess everyone is trying to rip off gamers these days.

@Nexozi What about Philips TVs? Specifically the Mini LED 9636? I know you’ve got an LG OLED tv but OLED is out of the question for me. I was going to go for the Samsung 95A but it doesn’t have Dolby Vision but the Philips 9636 does, as well as everything else. The only other option with Mini LED is the LG Nano 996 (the 916 4K model doesn’t do 120Hz) but that has an IPS panel so that’s a nope straight away.

@MaccaMUFC Philips TVs are usually well reviewed. From what I've heard stay away from LG nano TVs. I had an awful experience with a Philips monitor that was supposed to be rated as one of the best for xbox 4k gaming. It was a VA panel, so these ones might be better. But if u were playing a game that had was meant to be at night the backlight bleed was that bad over the whole screen it looked grey. Sent it back and got another one and had the same issue. I'm still loving the CX, and if u have a dark room would def recommend trying to get one in the sales.

Sounds like a lot of money for a 32" display. I would rather just get an OLED 50"+ TV with HDMI 2.1, and I don't see how I would be compromising anything by doing that.

LG are due to release 42" OLED's next year. I assume they will come with HDMI 2.1 for the next gen consoles and 120hz. They're likely to be cheaper than these in a few months and far superior.I'm holding out for one for the series X set up.
