*Philips has introduced a new display tailored to the needs of creative users: the 27-inch 5K monitor, Brilliance 27E3U7903. Packed with high-end features, this monitor combines stunning visuals, versatile connectivity, and ergonomic design, all at an attractive price point.
Professional-Grade Color Accuracy
The standout feature of the Brilliance 27E3U7903 is its 27-inch 5K (5120×2880) IPS panel, delivering an impressive pixel density of 218 PPI. Certified for DisplayHDR 600, it boasts wide color gamut coverage, encompassing 99.5% AdobeRGB and 99% DCI-P3, with full sRGB support for consistent color accuracy across different applications. With its 1.07 billion color capability, this monitor ensures vibrant, lifelike imagery.
Connectivity with Thunderbolt 4 Power
Philips has equipped this monitor with Calman Ready certification, enabling hardware calibration through automated workflows. This ensures reliable color output, crucial for editing, design, and production tasks. The monitor’s connectivity is troupe-led by two Thunderbolt 4 ports, which facilitate high-speed data transfer, up to 96W power delivery for connected devices, and daisy-chaining of multiple peripherals.
Comfort and Ergonomics for Long Sessions
The front panel’s anti-reflective glass with a 7H hardness rating reduces glare, and LowBlue Mode and Flicker-Free technology help minimize eye strain during prolonged use. The SmartErgoBase stand offers extensive adjustability, with height, tilt, swivel, and pivot movements, ensuring optimal viewing comfort.
Built-in Webcam and Productivity Features
An integrated 5MP webcam with Windows Hello support and AI-based auto-framing feature enhances the user experience, keeping you centered during video calls. MultiView, a feature allowing the display of two sources side by side, further boosts productivity.
“Our aim with the Brilliance 27E3U7903 is straightforward,” explains Ilkan Reyhanoglu, Product Manager EU. “We want to provide creators with a top-tier 5K monitor that offers precision, performance, and efficient workflows at a competitive price.”
Pricing and Market Position
The Brilliance 27E3U7903 is set to hit European shelves soon, with a retail price of £849/€1,090. With its combination of 5K resolution, dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, and extensive calibration options, it presents a compelling alternative for users seeking a more affordable option than Apple’s Studio Display.
