Philips' latest business monitor, the 49B2U6900CH, offers a trio of useful features for the modern digital workspace. The 48.8-inch SuperWide display has a curved bezel and features dual 5K QHD (5120 x 1440) resolution, providing a wide viewing angle that would normally require two separate displays. It features low blue mode with flicker-free technology and sits on a height-adjustable stand.
One of the key features of the new monitor is an adjustable webcam with auto-framing. This adjusts to include all team members in the frame during video calls and can be tilted 30 degrees to accommodate users of different heights.
There's a noise-cancelling microphone, and for added convenience, the 49B2U6900CH includes a headphone hook on the bezel, offering a neat storage solution for headphones.

Busylight, located above the webcam, is our favorite addition and is designed to communicate the user's work status. When a user is on a call, the light turns red, reminiscent of the old 'On Air' lights seen outside of live broadcasts. It can also be turned on or off manually using the Busylight hotkey on the monitor bezel. The feature can be synced with Microsoft Teams statuses.
We also like the Smart KVM feature. By pressing the “Ctrl” key three times, users can switch between sources, eliminating the need to navigate OSD menus when controlling two PCs with one set of peripherals.
The monitor supports USB-C connectivity, allowing you to easily charge external devices and transfer videos/data with a single cable.
The Philips 49B2U6900CH monitor will hit stores in February and will retail for £959.99.
