Yeah I had a BDM4065UC - 40" 4K (3840x2160) 60Hz for several years w/o any problems and this convinced me to buy a Philips again . Ambiglow is also a nice feature to have . 49“ is exactly what I looked for , mainly for work/productivity.

Bought the L with 144hz some days ago . So far I am very happy with it . Monitor stand is meh I use a monitor arm . Also, the static ambiglow is perfect for gaming or work .

So, today i found the time to check the Firmware Version 1.08 - obviously the newest for this model. i searched for a changelog but found nothing so far ...

I have the Philips Evnia 49 OLED and if you can get it, it might be pretty much ideal for you? Theres a USB-C KVM built into the monitor itself, and it uses the same panel as the Samsung G9 OLED. The USB C can charge, take display from the mac, and give it your Keyboard and mouse inputs at the same time, then you can either use the same cable, or HDMI/DP + USB with the HP, and then theres still a HDMI left over for the XBOX.

One of the biggest limitations in MSFS has always been screen space. you’re constantly zooming and panning instead of just flying. A huge single ultrawide that lets you see the cockpit and outside world naturally could be a real game changer for immersion. I recently upgraded from 3 23 inch 1080p monitors to a single 49inch philps OLED which was a remarkable difference. However with the 49inch ultra wide the view horizontally is limited. I really think the new LG 52 evo g9 will be the absolute pinnacle in this area. I would really love the opportunity to get my hands on this baby and see what she has to offer. This opportunity is very exciting! I hope i will be eligible. Thank you LG team. Marcus

Just want to add, i own that monitor and i love it. Some games needs tweaking for either performance or aspect ratio. But overall a great experience.

It's all a matter of PC specs at that point. Pushing 240 fps in League is no feat on its own. I just didn't want to be forced to upgrade again, so I like having the headroom for my next GPU upgrade.
