4K, HDR and FreeSync for your games console.
It was all nice and well, until I reached the Power Consumption page...!
The test methodology isn't perfect. It measures power consumption at 50% brightness - but that may not be the same level of brightness across all the monitors. If the backlight on the Philips is (say) twice the power of another, then the power consumption will be double at a 50% setting, but the display might be considerably brighter, so in real life you may be running it at a lower percentage setting and therefore a lower power consumption.Quote:

ouch power consumption was I reading it right 150watt max
1 HDMI input are they nuts ……..for that kinda cash I dont want to be unplugging and swapping between ps4pro xbox one x .come on !!
As someone who uses a HDR 4K TV for PC usage, I should note that the way to go about HDR is simply to leave it off, and leave it to apps to enable it. For videos, install MadVR over MPC-HC and tell it to pass through HDR info, upon playing HDR content your screen automatically turns both it and the right colour space on (bt2020 in most cases). Games usually have their own exclusive fullscreen mode which will enable HDR without having to turn it on in Windows.
I've been using a TV as a monitor for years now, as I got used to the size (currently at 43"), and while the sharpness isn't as great as a PC, you soon get used to it. After all, you don't have anything to compare it to, so it becomes the norm extremely quickly
Although it isn't clear seem they were testing a '100% white' HDR image, HDR mode(s) always consume more power due to the brightness needed for highlights. 150W is about right for the screen size.Quote:
