You might be right, it could even be less noticeable than you think compared to older monitors.
I've taken a close-up photo of the menu bar on the pcmonitors.info site, and this is how it looks on a BDM4065UC (photo taken using a Samsung S8, straight settings). Personally, I think the older monitor looks far worse, but I've no idea because a) not sure if my photo was sufficient to judge against, and b) I'm not a monitor expert. What do you think?
They mark a lot of sites I think to stop us going on communities. Youtube works fine funnily enough.
Would you say the new Philips would be an improvement in fluidity and punchy bright colours over my Sony 55XD8599? I did wonder if I'd be ok going 12 inches smaller but if the panel doesn't have the grey bleed in the corners like this Sony and goes above 400 nits because the Sony sure doesn't then it should be better for HDR. I get the BGR overshooting on text with the tv too and I'd say my response times are alright but I want faster.
The upgrade from IPS to VA in terms of contrast will be significant, as will the superior HDR performance. It is compared favourably to much more capable IPS-type HDR solutions (with 384-dimming zones) in the review. You can also enjoy far lower input lag, although depending on sensitivity to it that may not be such a big bonus really. And last but not least, the Philips has a somewhat more generous colour gamut. So you may find it looks more vibrant overall.
Bloomin' fantastic news for me. I was going to wait for a 35" Gsync HDR1000 but this is much more in my price range after dropping £1500 on the Sony at launch in early 2016. Thank you.

Looks like it could make a good TV for those of us with PWM sensitivity (there is only 1 IPS TV in production without PWM, the Sony XF850).
Thought this would be in the shop by now. Philips aren't answering my emails. I have da munny and want to splash on some 1200 cd/m2 goodness for uncharted 4 and ratchet and clank not to mention a definite replay through Andromeda on pc and farcry 5 already looks delicious on a 400 nit Sony hdr. forget 120hz and ultrawide this is the big daddy
I have been waiting for this baby for over a year now ... had been checking the net many many times since then ... problem is I spent most of my 'free available cash' (being married with a kid - puts a damper on 700pound purchases ...) - well least for now.
Really enjoyed the review! - Ive been wanting to upgrade my monitor for ages now and have been waiting for the 'perfect 40-43inch to do just that' - too bad about the freesync but oh well; maybe AMD will catch up someday.

dont know but does it come in 43"? only see 49 55
Make sure it is not the same hardware as the 2016 Samsung KS7000-9000 series. They lack the capability to hold a stable picture in 4k/60/RGB or 4:4:4 mode. I know one of the MUs is those rebadged. I dumped that piece of crap in 2016 after a week.
