Philips Momentum 32M1N5800A Review - the fastest yet!

[@Sledgehammer1944]

I just bought this thing and set it up and connected an 8K hdmi cable to it. It will not go over 120hz. No idea why. Video card is directly connect to it and its a RTX 3070 ti. Updated nvidia graphics driver. Not able to find a driver for the monitor itself anywhere. Does anyone know why this is not going to 144hz? This is driving me nuts. Checked all nvidia control panel settings, display settings, tried lowering it to lower resolutions and then seeing if 144hz would show up. It doesn't no luck. I have several HDMI 2.0 cables and the 8k cable. *UPDATE*: I finally figured it out. You have to force it to go to 144hz using the button on the back of the monitor > Refresh Rate > 144hz

[@njco78]

How are you getting on with the 3070TI performance at 4K and can you play downscaled. I have a 3070 ti and not sure it has enough power for this?

Samsung ViewFinity S8 has true 600 HDR

[@NackDSP]

I bought one to use with Xbox series X. It works great. The mounting point doesn't fit the bracket on my driving sim rig, so duct tape to the rescue. Is there an adaptor to allow wall mounting these?

[@Jay-son.]

Is the backlight bleed bad? The dude in the video mentioned that it's not bad but to me it looks terrible from what I can see in this video, what do you think?

[@joeblackisback1]

I have owned the 27-inch version 27M1F5800 of this monitor for about a year. And I am very happy with the monitor. The highlights are probably the great colours, the ergonomics and the connections. I didn't have to adjust anything after unpacking my model - it had a fantastic picture out of the box. Of course, it also has a few disadvantages such as the lack of a USB C port and no KVM. And of course it has the typical IPS bleeding. Nevertheless, I have now ordered the 32-inch version for €549 on offer.

[@marcust123]

Im gonna order the 32” how is it?

[@joeblackisback1]

@@marcust123 It is of course much bigger. But what is immediately noticeable are the colours. The 32 inch doesn't have quite as beautiful colours, but they are still very good. I think it's because the 27 inch has a Nano IPS display and the 32 inch doesn't. But otherwise a really very good monitor.

[@krizzino]

Would you recommend this or the Gigabyte M32U?

[@zontarr22-zon]

Gigabyte M32U has 10 bit of colour from 8bit native +2 bit FRC(Frame Rate Control) in other words it looks like you see 1.07 billion colours from 10 bit but is a mimic ON the other hand the this Philips has native 10 bit of colour, that means all 1.07 bil colours and no tricks.

[@Case_]

Any idea how the Philips compares to something like the LG 27GN950 (or GP950, or any of the 95R variants, all the same monitor really with the same panel) 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 Philips might actually be using the same panel, which would mean the same issues... Thanks.

[@CJW0056]

Glad you mentioned the HDMI ports, i use those for my work computer that shares the desk. My current Acer xb321hk 4k monitor HDMI port is only 1.4 which blew my mind why they'd choose that

[@sniperbob4737]

Just ordered for £500 from Curry’s. Looked the best deal at this price point

[@Chronicles_Of_WA]

For PS5? Let me know how you get on, considering it too

[@marcust123]

Any good?

No Black EQ in a gaming display.. ? Is SmartDisplay this Powerfull?

Any chance of reviewing the 24M1N5500Z?

[@MikeBalaban-gf3br]

Thank you for the video and for you efforts. For PS5 console which would be better this monitor or : GIGABYTE M32U ACER NITRO XV322QKKVBMIIPHUZX Acer Predator XB323QK NVbmiiphuzx 31.5" UHD

[@scherpebocht]

What did u pick

[@ev6773]

Sup my G. Thanks for the review, I am considering buying this monitor. Could you please share the model of the sound/light bars you are using in this set up? Looks very slick. Cheers brother

[@BeetjeVreemd]

12:03 no Low Framerate Compensation below 60fps? I thought that's always included with official Gsync compatible monitor? So that (occasionally) < 60fps is not a problem. A also do photography as a hobby, and sometimes do prints as well. Is the blue color really a problem witht his monitor? Like (calibrated) blue on monitor results in totally other shade of blue on photo prints.

[@jasonhenninger8220]

You guys have any opinions on the MSI Optix MPG321QRF-QD?

[@KitGuruTech]

Looks good on paper but we've not tested it so couldn't really say more than that unfortunately. Definitely one we can keep an eye on though for a future review

[@ezitobezito5251]

@kitgurutech, does your monitor fill the whole screen? mine leaves black sides even with the computer and the PS5. i have the 32M1N5800A/00 and it is 31,5 inches

[@Jay-son.]

Shall I get this or the Dell G3223Q 32 inch monitor? I can get the Philips for 650 on sale from 740 right now and the Dell is 640 pounds.

[@yunuspolat4335]

Why have they put an anti-bacterial coating on a monitor? They don't really get touched often unless it's because of the COVID sneezes?

[@jmurray2018]

Dislike 👎 too many commercials for a 18 minute video

[@KitGuruTech]

We keep them short to fund the staff. We refuse the 90 second or 2 minute adverts which would make us more money to keep them short. Sorry you arent happy, but we need to pay staff.

[@marcoghin85]

Ciao, usare questo monitor con cavo hdmi su un laptop Gaming con display 240hz e scheda video rtx 3080 secondo te va bene? O meglio utilizzare un monitor con frequenza di aggiornamento maggiore? Grazie

[@bobsmithson8592]

a really good screen that, ive a few in mind around this price point, just waiting for a few sales to come in before christmas, hopefully black friday

[@zox297]

Really good review as usual, thanks!

[@John-hw9lt]

does this support ALLM on PS5 ? hope to get your response

[@asdasdasdasd4920]

Disappointing not to see ambilight given it's Philips.

[@PiffSmokeSupplies]

what would be a better monitor for a full HDR experience?

[@haidar6280]

[@EquinosMc]

How are the built in speakers tho?

[@KitGuruTech]

I don't have the monitor any more to test unfortunately but I'll keep that in mind for future reviews!

[@zontarr22-zon]

Speakers are loud, mid range full, no bass or treble. pretty very good for monitor speakers, I use a Creative sound bar with woofer so I turn them off as not needed. Compared with my Previous Acer 2k 144HZ monitor this are very loud.

[@notflawless2867]

Great Review, thanks from Germany

[@ezitobezito5251]

Can lower the screen all the way ?

[@nodirbek2221]

Does the monitor have an usb-c port?

[@Jay-son.]

''small amount of backlight bleed'' are you serious? That looks horrible!

[@leespurling9249]

Agreed, that's a deal-breaker for me. Could vary in production, but risky for someone wanting to use for a combo of photography and gaming

[@Xx_HARAMBE96_xX]

Blacklight bleed always looks worse on camera when recorded

[@ВикторСимонов-з6е]

Looks good

[@rayamc607]

speakers?

[@KitGuruTech]

it has them, 2x 5W, but they're not great

[@MrLutijen]

This monitor has DisplayHDR 400 certification, which means it is a fake HDR monitor. Peak brightness of 500 nits for IPS monitor does not cut the mustard for real HDR experience. For this price, any high-speced monitor needs to have VESA's DisplayHDR 1000 certificate, at minimum. Also, why is it that monitor makers do not install DisplayPort 2.0 ports? Intel and AMD graphics cards will feature 40 Gbps and 80 Gbps DP ports later this year, which should inspire monitors makers to finally move onto DP 2.0. We should really expect more from expensive monitors, which have a long way to go to catch up with image quality of 4K TVs.

[@blackvadaa5600]

Finalyl proper HDMI 2.1 ports. Don't get the manufacturers that release a high refresh rate panel which is crippled by it's input ports.

[@armen1136]

The LG 32GQ950 also has proper HDMI 2.1, and probably the implementation of it I've seen so far on a monitor. Only downside to the LG is that it doesn't have auto input switching.

[@klimbimbel6446]

My first visit on your chanel by searching a review ... The monitor is great and your reviews are also fantasic. And, as a men, you are a beauty - you looks perfect!

[@stevewatson6839]

Meh! I wouldn't be buying from ANY of of your listed mfrs; nor at this price point. You don't get Aberdeen steak at corned beef prices.

[@theonlyredspecial]

Where did Philips come up with Momentum for the name of a monitor :)

[@artqueen4536]

Bit dull isn't it no usual Philips quirkyness.

[@mustafaceceli153]

Shame it doesn't have any real HDR capability.

[@saveas4620]

In the real world Dom what is going to respond faster? A normal OLED panel with a 60hz connection or a LED with 144hz as the OLED won't overshoot hardly at all.

[@KitGuruTech]

In terms of measured response times, OLED will be faster, usually around the 1ms mark. However, at 60Hz due to the 'sample and hold' nature of OLED, you'd probably get better motion clarity from a 144Hz LCD (assuming it's a decent enough panel.)

[@basshead.]

1st

[@haddibilbakalim]

At £760 it's not bad but OLED pricing isn't too far off of that.

[@8020Alive]

Not 4K Not bright Nice options but can't be compared
