The Philips Brilliance 275P4VYKEB 5K Monitor may not have aced every test, but it's still a pretty amazing bit of kit. It has good colour accuracy and uniformity, and a near-perfect gamut. It isn't the perfect partner for high-resolution gaming, but looking at photos in this kind of resolution is a revelation. Windows 10 also copes with the scaling of text admirably, even when using a second screen of much lower resolution alongside.
The slightly off gamma ratings and mediocre brightness uniformity are really the only notable downsides. The fact you need to use both DisplayPort inputs for 5K is more like an occupational hazard of this resolution, although it would have been nice to have another input in case you do need to hook up a secondary device.
The menu doesn't have the range of detailed adjustment that more gaming-focused screens are offering, and the screen only runs at 60Hz, but there's enough configurability for the more serious user. There are presets for most everyday business and entertainment activities, plus manual adjustments that can successfully improve colour accuracy.
The Philips Brilliance 275P4VYKEB 5K Monitor is available on Overclockers UK. Some Amazon third party sellers have the monitor at £737 but we have been told that there is an EAN pricing mistake and the correct price is £1199 inc vat. This is a pretty expensive 27in screen, but when you consider that you're getting four times the resolution that a lot of TFTs this size offer, it doesn't seem particularly outrageous, particularly when Dell's equivalent is £100 more. If you want to stay ahead of the curve and feel like larging it when it comes to screen pixels, this is a tasty proposition.

Is the picture on the monitor from a porn scene?
No, its not. get your mind out of the gutter !
It definitely is.
No freesync or G-sync?
And what’s with that response time??
It won’t sell if it’s expensive. So it’s rather cheap. XD

That’s my wife you’re talking about there.
1 yr ago I decided to abandon my last work and that decision changed everything for me… I started freelancing at home, for this company I stumbled upon over internet, for several hours every day, and I earn much more than i did on my old job… Last paycheck i got was for $9k… Great thing about this job is that i have more free time for my loved ones… CHILP.IT/728813e
Yep.. It is!
Problem is, that screens are getting bigger pixel counts, way before GPU’s can actually provide them with anything close to 60Hz. This is certainly not a gaming monitor with a mediocre response rate (in gaming monitor terms) and a 60Hz refresh rate. Also, have you seen the difference between 4K and 5K? Your eyesight would have to be so acute to be able to tell the difference. And even then, I would question that a difference could be seen. Where the technology needs to develop is in OLED screens, but it still seems pretty embryonic with getting the picture to last more than a few years. Bottom line is… There is so much better out there, that will give so much more than just pixel count.
I’ve probably mentioned this before but any chance you can try the screens in half and quarter resolution to see how they look out of native? In this case 2560 x 1440 and 1280 x 720. Input lag doesn’t matter with the types of games I play but many (especially the older ones) dont allow you to scale the GUI so on a 4k/5k screen of this size they’d be unreadable. Apparently there is some variation in the visual performance of monitors out of native, unfortunately no reviewers ever test for it 🙁
I have this Monitor and it has 1 Big problem! It’a not really Flicker-Free!
I bought it after verifying on Phillips product page;
http://www.philips.co.uk/c-p/275P4VYKEB_00/brilliance-5k-lcd-monitor-with-perfectkolor
But l found out that any brightness less then 100% you get Flicker because it uses PWM to control the brightness, so it’s not very comfortable for you eyes. It could be great review if you could mention it :-(.
You can see the horizontal waves in the attached photo I took now.
P.S – there is no SmartUniformity option in the OSD menu!
