Philips 27M1F5500 & Philips 27M1F5800 Review and Comparison

[@TheKozary]

wtf is this review go on to talk about input lag but don't even measure it or anything tangible for the fact.

[@Narinjas]

@@TheKozary We also need a comparison to competition NANO IPS from LG

[@joeblackisback1]

I bought the Philips 27M1F5800 for 350 € from amazon Warehouse Deal :) and so far I'm really impressed. The colors are fantastic out of the box. Lots of connection options etc. But when I set the monitor to 144 Hz in Windows, I have a Screen flickering in games with activated or deactivated Free Sync, only when I reduce the Hz to 120 is the flickering gone.

[@RickysTechTalk]

Hi, thanks for your comment, I am glad your enjoying your new monitor, this is strange with the flickering, dose this continue when using any of the presets?

[@joeblackisback1]

@@RickysTechTalk I think it was a Windows problem I reinstalled my PC yesterday and now it works as it should. Thank you for your feedback.

[@hman2875]

@@joeblackisback1 hey have you tried HDR?

[@joeblackisback1]

@@hman2875 Of course I tested it. Despite the HDR 600 verification, I don't think the HDR is that good. But it has a really great picture even without HDR, and it doesn't have to hide from an OLED, e.g. the Alienware AW3423DWF, in terms of colour, I had both of them here. The only weakness is in the black tones compared to an OLED. And it has typical IPS backlighting. I would buy it again and again.

[@Scrudge1]

Was going to say did you use the Display Port cable?

[@ismaelberrocalgarcia8387]

The 27" has full 48 gbps hdmi 2.1 ports ? For the PS5. The panel its from the LG 27GP950 Nano IPS ?

Do love the vibes of the vid but I’d love technical measurements of response times, input lag and color accuracy along with HDR performance

[@RickysTechTalk]

Hey, that is awesome, I hope you enjoy your new monitor, what will you be using it for mainly?

[@truecauseofchaos]

@@RickysTechTalk Appreciate the reply! I am using it for both work and games. So far so good, though with my work laptop only having Intel iRIS Xe graphics, I can only get 1440p 60Hz from it over HDMI. My Razer Blade 15 can push it to 1440p 144Hz (HDR) which looks great!

[@Matt33318]

Do you have eye fatigue from the panel?

[@truecauseofchaos]

@@Matt33318 I don't, but that's partially because I use it for work daily and have it at 70% brightness all of the time. Plus I always use it in a well lit room. But it's an awesome panel!

[@sondahh]

how are you liking it?

[@Lordosvk]

Great review mate i love to see back of the monitor conmections.

[@RickysTechTalk]

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for your comment.

[@holloWmanVid01]

Thank you for this detailed test report. 👍👍 I have one more question. Can the monitor also be switched off completely, or does it only work with the power button/stick in stand-by mode? I've read that the LED on the front of the monitor should flash quite annoyingly when the monitor is in stand-by. It would therefore be important for me to be able to switch off the monitor completely. Would be very grateful to you for an answer.

[@RickysTechTalk]

Thanks for comment have a great day.

[@MrFrings89]

Literally just looking to buy the 4k version. I see you've also tested the 279M1RV. They seem almost identical. Would you say there is any noticeable difference between the two? Other than Ambiglow and integrated power supply.

[@RickysTechTalk]

Hi, thanks for your comment, I would go for the 4K version showed in this video, I prefered the colour response and gaming experince was great both consoles, however when it comes to pc gaming unsure as tried to test with Mac but that isnt designed for pc gaming.

[@__no_mans_land__]

Hi Ricky, there were friends who asked in the comments, but I could not see an answer. Can you verify the bandwidth of the HDMI 2.1 ports on the monitor? Have you had a chance to use it on PS5? How was its performance? Thanks in advance...

[@RickysTechTalk]

Hi, both monitors have been tested with the PS5 and I didn't experience any issues. Unfortunately these are review models and unable to test the bandwidth however their website offers this information 2560 x 1440 @ 144 Hz (HDMI); 2560 x 1440 @ 240 Hz* (DP)

[@__no_mans_land__]

[@davidthorsen2440]

quick question, what comes in the box, some monitors have DP or HDMI cords included or power supply. is it the same with these?

[@RickysTechTalk]

Hi. yes both these monitors will come with manual, HDMI, DP, USB A, USB C, some other cables depending on connections available.

[@AkselMagnus]

Came accross this now after ordering the glossy 4k spectrum a month ago. Instead of waiting for that, i just went ahead and ordrered this 27M1F5800 instead. Thanks for the review!

Hey, thanks for your comment, I am pleased you enjoyed this video and enjoy your new monitor.

[@Demetrius900000]

So is it good?

[@AkselMagnus]

@@Demetrius900000 The 27m1f5800P is really a great one. Its one of the very few monitors that actually has everything. Talking about how the monitor itself looks with the thin bezels around, not too much bezels on the panel itself. I have it on a monitor arm btw. There are a somewhat many options to find the picture quality you want, aswell colors. I play all my games on «competitive» settings: CS/PUBG/R6/BF4. I achieve stable fps way above 300 on most of these games, and i must say i feel a slowness in my surroundings when flicking around.-from my monitor. This isnt noticable when playing casually and not flicking around everywhere. Maybe it could be fixed with a firmware update?

What are the best settings for phillips 27 qhd nano ips?

[@SyrioLTRS]

Hi ricky, thank you for this great Rewiews! 👌🏻 I would buy a monitor for my PS5.. do you prefer the Evnia 5500 QHD nano IPS or the Odyssey G7 UHD S28BG702? Thank you!

[@RickysTechTalk]

Hi, thanks for your comment, looking at specs I would be happy with either, however if had to choose I would go for the G7.

[@neyapmamgerek]

Hello, I bought the same monitor last month, and it was a bit expensive compared to its alternatives. When I first got it, I was really impressed by the beautiful colors, and the bezel-less design just blew me away because it's hard to find a monitor with no bezels on all four sides. I bought it mainly for design work and occasionally gaming because I found the color gamut to be sufficient. However, after using it for about a month, I noticed yellowish stains appearing on the right and bottom edges of the screen. The yellow spots started appearing on the bezels, and they kept getting worse over time. Eventually, I decided to return the monitor. Now, I'm thinking about purchasing the same model again, but I'm worried that the same problem might occur. Have you experienced anything like this with your monitor? Or do you have any of these yellow stains? I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experience. Thanks!

[@RickysTechTalk]

Hello, Thank you for your comment, and I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I didn't notice this, but I know it can happen in a small percentage of monitors. If you like this monitor, you can purchase it again, and it should be perfect. It might be that you received a defective display.

[@neyapmamgerek]

@@RickysTechTalk I ordered monitor again but the one that came was the same. Either there is a problem with these monitors or the ones I received are faulty. If I had the chance to send a picture I would send it and show it but I guess KZbin does not allow links. I set the monitor to 100 brightness and cold colors, it becomes visible that way. I would be very happy if you could try it and get back to me.

[@hman2875]

@@neyapmamgerek I noticed this with my Gigabyte M27Q. Seems to have been pixel damage from constant sunlight exposure.

[@Scrudge1]

I had this issue with an LG 4K TV a few years back. It was a large spot in the lower middle which became worse over time. Someone else has said that this Phillips screen shares the same as LG and also a couple more manufactures. Turns out that LG changed the panel and the model name following later on. Could very well be a dodgy manufacture

[@SifreGG]

Hi, is the Philips 27M1F5500 model compatible with PS5 VRR? Did you test it? Thank you.

[@RickysTechTalk]

Hi, thanks for your comment; sadly, this option wasn't available when testing.

[@Case_]

Any idea how the 27M1F5800 compares to LG 27GP950 (or GN950) when it comes to reflections and glare handling? I had the GN950 and had to return it due to how badly it handled glare even in moderately dark environment, and I suspect the 27M1F5800 might actually be using the same panel, which would mean the same issues... Thanks.

[@RickysTechTalk]

Hi, thank you for your comment, being honest I wouldn't be able to tell you as I haven't had the chance to work with LG, I will reach out to them and see if I can get one in for review.

[@RickysTechTalk]

Hi, thanks for your comment, apologies for reply in English, the 27" or 32" is a great option for PS5 gaming. I would go 32" over 27" just because of a bigger screen is preferred, spec wise I don't believe there is a massive difference so it comes to personal choices.

Can you please explain the bit rate of these monitors? Can you run them in true 10 bit at 60Hz Or only this 8 bit plus frc mode?

[@Wissperwind]

Hi What happens below the frame rate of G-Sync? Will it result in rearing?

[@RickysTechTalk]

Hi, tearing of frame movement would happen, G Sync allows for a smoother and more enjoyable gameplay.

[@Wissperwind]

@@RickysTechTalk ok is there nothing like low framerate compensation where the monitor displays an image twice? So with this monitor, if my framerate drops below 60 Hz, I will get tearing?

Hey man, I really liked your detailed review. As I'm planning to buy the 4k version for work and my Xbox Series X, I was wondering how you managed to plug in an external sound device... It's probably a stupid question, but I never used sound bars, and I'm absolutely clueless :D

[@RickysTechTalk]

Hi, thank you for your kind comment, you have a couple of options, either USB connected speakers through the work machine or Xbox also with the monitor having audio out port you can connect a speaker this way to. Or you could use the USB port on the monitor too.
