Philips to Display Company’s First 34″ Curved Monitor at IFA

Philips has announced the latest additions to their monitor line-up and intends to showcase the new models at the IFA trade show in Berlin. Included is Philips’ first 34-inch curved monitor which opts for a 3440×1440 panel and ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio. Unfortunately, there is no specific details about the panel type used but I would presume it’s either an AH-IPS or VA screen. From an aesthetic point-of-view, the monitor’s curve adds a sophisticated touch and the edge-to-edge glass allows for an extremely narrow border. However, I’m not overly fond of the stand which seems rather cumbersome and might not have any adjustability.

The next major upgrade in backlighting revolves around Quantum Dot technology. Quantum Dot supported monitors can produce a higher colour gamut by more than 50% compared to traditional LEDs. Additionally, QD monitors consume 25% less power and cost a fraction of the current LED based panels. Philips is probably the first company to push this technology into the mainstream market and readying a 27-inch QD IPS-ADS Adobe RGB monitor.

There are a number of other products on the show floor such as the Ambiglow Plus Base. This unusual feature forms a halo of light which syncs with the display image. Furthermore, the base’s illumination can be adjusted to suit the your mood or fit in with a room’s lighting levels.

Do you think Quantum Dot technology will make a noticeable difference in monitor image quality?
