Press Release Overview
Philips announced on June 30, 2026, from Singapore that it is launching the 34B2U5900C monitor, the first curved 34‑inch 5K (5120 × 2160) 120 Hz business display incorporating Dual‑Mode Local Dimming (DLG) technology capable of reaching 240 Hz for fast, responsive performance. The device, which earned an IF Design Award in 2024, is positioned to redefine workplace productivity through its dual‑mode versatility, premium visuals, and comprehensive connectivity.
The Dual Mode function enables users to toggle between two performance settings: a high‑clarity mode delivering native 5K resolution at 120 Hz for tasks prioritising visual detail, and a performance‑intensive mode offering a wide‑frame HD (WFHD) resolution of 2560 × 1080 at 240 Hz to support multi‑tasking and gaming scenarios. This flexibility is targeted at power‑users and gamers who require both sharp imagery and rapid refresh rates.
For creative professionals, the monitor is Calman Ready, allowing direct communication with Portrait Displays calibration software to achieve Hollywood‑grade color accuracy. The same calibration technology is widely employed in professional film and broadcast workflows to ensure consistent studio‑grade color reproduction.
Visual specifications include a 34‑inch curved VA panel with WUHD resolution, 178° wide viewing angles, DisplayHDR 400 certification, TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light compliance, and Eyesafe® 2.0 technology, all designed to minimise eye strain while delivering crisp, vibrant images.
Connectivity options comprise a 140 W USB‑C port for data transfer and device charging, multiple USB 3.2 ports for high‑speed peripherals, and an RJ45 Ethernet port supporting MAPT, PXE, and Wake‑on‑LAN (WOL). User‑centric and sustainable features include SmartKVM (source switching via triple “Ctrl” presses), integrated power and ambient light sensors for energy optimisation, an adjustable ergonomic stand offering height, tilt, and swivel adjustments, and a built‑in earphone hook.
The 34B2U5900C monitor is now available for purchase. (Disclaimer: This press release is distributed under an arrangement with PRNewswire; PTI assumes no editorial responsibility.)
