PROS
+ Vast amounts of display real estate
+ Comprehensive USB hub with KVM support

(+) High contrast ratio (1858:1)
(+) Impressive brightness uniformity
(+) Good sRGB colour accuracy for RGB with an average DeltaE of 1.3

(+) PowerSensor
CONS
– A bit wobbly
– No remote control
– Speakers sound harsh at maximum
Verdict: “If you are the sort of person who often feels the need to have two or three work areas on the go at any given moment, then the 45B1U6900CH will be the answer to your prayers. It certainly gave a boost to my productivity since writing reviews is so much easier when you can have a document, the spec sheet, and your test results all open on the desktop at the same time. Of course, the same could be said of any super wide, but those two Type-C inputs are the killer advantage if you need to connect two laptops, or a laptop and a mobile device, to your KVM setup. […] It can get a bit wobbly, but the sheer display space offered by the Philips 45B1U6900CH SuperWide is hard to beat.”

Verdict: “If you’re looking for a super-ultrawide monitor this might just be the endgame. It’s called the Phillips Evnia 49M2C8900, which sports a super-ultrawide 49-inch curved 1440p 240 Hz QD-OLED panel. It also has got AMD FreeSync technology, certification with NVIDIA G-SYNC and better still, DisplayHDR True Black 400, which gives you a lifelike HDR reproduction. You’ve then also got a built-in KVM switch and also Philips Ambiglow technology. […] In terms of the overall motion clarity this monitor does also meet a VESA certification, which is more specifically ClearMR 13000, which is the highest scale that one can achieve. So, it’s great to see that the overall motion clarity, at least according to VESA and of course Phillips, is absolute top-notch.”

PROS
+ Seriously impressive gaming performance with 240 Hz refresh rate
+ Extremely responsive and fast with just 1.1 ms input lag
+ 5.31 ms response time with Overdrive off, 3.76 ms with Fast Overdrive, 2.99 ms with Faster Overdrive (with minimal overshoot)
+ 1.78 ms response time with Fastest Overdrive exhibit overshoot (inverse ghosting), but worth the trade-off for games like CS:GO

+ Good brightness uniformity

+ Height, tilt, swivel and pivot adjustment
+ Headphone holder and cable management
+ OSD is very comprehensive
+ Price
CONS
– With NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility some flicker was observed
– No RGB colour settings
– Adaptive-Sync must be enabled to select sRGB mode, feels a bit odd
– Low colour accuracy in sRGB mode (avg DeltaE of 2.58 and max DeltaE of 6.21)
– OSD is not very intuitive to use at first glance
Verdict: „Quite frankly, this Philips monitor has not got a memorable name, but it’s got an absolute jaw-dropping gaming experience. The overall response time, the input lag, and of course the refresh rate, all combine to do a phenomenal job. Better still, you’re getting a monitor that comes in at just 180 pounds, which is absolutely mind-boggling. Now as a result of all of this I can see myself actively recommending it, and as such, it gets my “Best Buy” award. Now, it is also worth considering, that there is the AOC alternative (25G3ZM/BK) and frankly if I was going to be spending my own money I’d probably side towards the AOC. Why? Because the sRGB gamma clamp actually does its job, whereas at the time of filming, the one with the Philips doesn’t quite do it. However on the flip side, AOC has got a little bit more of that aggressive gaming style with accents, whereas the Philips one looks a little bit more understated and this means that you might want to actually prefer going for the Philips if the sRGB gamut clamp is not that important to you.“
