Philips 49B2U6900CH presented with improved connectivity and adjustable webcam for home office workers

The 49B2U6900CH is Philips' latest ultra-wide office monitor, of which it already sells various examples. For instance, the company presented the 49B2U5900CH nearly three months ago. As far as we can tell, the 49B2U6900CH relies upon the same panel as the 49B2U5900CH, which measures 48.8-inches across and utilises VA technology.

Additionally, the 49B2U6900CH outputs at 1440p in a 32:9 aspect ratio, which corresponds with a 5,120 x 1,440-pixel native resolution. Like the 49B2U5900CH, the 49B2U6900CH also masters a 75 Hz refresh rate with a 3,000:1 contrast ratio, an 1800R curvature, 178-degree viewing angles and 450 nits peak brightness for which it is VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified. On top of that, the monitor offers 97% and 119% NTSC and sRGB colour space coverages, plus <2 Delta E deviations.

However, the 49B2U6900CH improves upon the 49B2U5900CH by delivering improved I/O. Specifically, Philips has added a second USB Type-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode and 100 W Power Delivery support, along with a faster Ethernet port. The monitor's full ports are as follows:

Left-hand side

• 1x 3.5 mm combo jack
• 1x USB Type-C (15 W)
• 2x USB Type-A

Rear

• 1x 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet
• 1x DisplayPort 1.4
• 2x HDMI 2.0
• 2x USB Type-A
• 2x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C (DisplayPort Alt/100 W USB PD)

Furthermore, the 49B2U6900CH possesses a pair of 5 W speakers, a KVM switch, a 5 MP adjustable webcam with Windows Hello integration and a headphone hook. Philips will begin selling the 49B2U6900CH next month for £959.99, making it £10 more expensive than the 49B2U5900CH. Please see Philips' website for more information.
