23.8" Phillips 4k Monitor Due 2014 - Plans for a 28" As Well

We sat down with Jeroen Brants, Product Manager Europe for MMD Monitors and Displays, the exclusive license holder worldwide for Philips monitors, signage and large displays, to discuss about the company’s current status and future products.

What got us excited though was the news that Philips MMD will be releasing a 4K monitor in Q1 next year that will cost less than 999 Euros and will have a 23.8in display. A 28in model will also be available. It is likely that both panels will be sourced from LG as the Korean manufacturer is the only one to have announced a 23.8in 4K panel.

At 185ppi, it will be the monitor with the highest pixel density on the market although it doesn’t surpass the IBM T221, which, with a resolution of more than 9.2-megapixel has the world’s highest resolution and the highest pixel density as well with a 22.2in diagonal.

Brants also hinted that more monitors will integrate Miracast technology which may well pave the way for seamless and universal wireless displays.

Simply amazing. A practically 24" monitor that's 4k and costs 1k Euros? Not bad, still expensive, but we are getting close!

A 24" 4k monitor for 1400$?

:wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

 

 

Now on my possible list of things to buy..

[piplupgao]

I might actually consider buying this

[CoolBeans]

I myself will not consider buying this because it is really ugly

[Sarcasm]

But... Dat pixel density...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, I wouldn't get it. I can't find wallpapers to use in 1920x1200, much less 4K.

[Trail Mixorz]

I've always wanted a ~24" 4K monitor because I love the size, but seeing how small everything is on the screen, maybe windows theme optimization or something will help

Well they are supposedly using a LG panel, so we could see Dell or other manufacturers using said panel as well!

[Adaraas]

Dat color doe

 

Silverrrrrr

[Zeruel]

OMG!! You wont even need anti aliasing!

[Air tree]

I think it's pretty good looking. Not everything has to be black to look nice in my opinion.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Fetzie]

About bloody time. One of those companies managed to get their fingers out of their ass and give us a 4k monitor for less than the price of a small car. Took them fucking long enough.

[EChondo]

No, you always need anti aliasing.

 

But really, what would extra large icons look like?

Probably what it looks like now for your desktop?

 

I just do: CTRL+Scroll Wheel Up/Down on my desktop until my icons are the size that I want/look good.

Oh my 4K is getting cheap!! I remember Linus contemplating selling his motorcycle for a $4500 4K monitor. He'd be glad he didn't

[IdeaStormer]

I still want to see how people buying these early models will verify these are actually 4K vs bogus almost 4K displays?

 

Any of you buying these or some other early phase model 4K, be sure you can verify its actually 4K and not some pseudo 4K monitor.

I really don't think a reputable company's such as asus or Phillips would sell bogus 4k displays.

 

Maybe you're referring to other makers?

[TechFan@ic]

A 24 inch 4K monitor ? how about a 24 inch 2560x1440 monitor first Philips... how about that !

All makers. Just because you get 4K res doesn't mean you get a quality display that will actually be better than an non 4K. You'll need to read the fine print.

Don't really like the silver bezel on it and it is pretty expensive imo. Would wait for 4K to become more popular before deciding on getting one.

Of course its going to be expensive, its 4k.

Seems like a pretty nice option, hopefully being classified as a "monitor" will mean it will have DVI and/or DisplayPort inputs, otherwise it's still only going to be 30 FPS...

DVI? No go. DL DVI only goes up to about 33Hz when it comes to 4k resolutions.

 

Displayport is our only option(and best option ever).

[MasterJV]

I want it NOW!!!

I need all them pixels...

[Kirihuna]

If Asus could get 4K monitors out at 23-30" and at $1400, I would buy two. 

[MetEishYa]

Hope it doesn't suffer for the same crap with the DP being seen by the Asus monitor as 2 DL DVI connections and needing to run in eyefinity or nvidia surround. Price is nice, exponential decrease in less than 6 months, still too high for my budget but will wait till they at about $200-450 price point.
