Abstract: “That's not a monitor,” they tell me, “that's a bloody TV!” But the rest of the PCGamesN crew in the office is only jealous because the 43-inch Philips Momentum 436M6 has taken up most of my desk space, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider is looking stunning wr...

Huge 43in screen – perfect for its 4K resolution, Excellent gamut, Excellent colour accuracy, and even better when calibrated, Complies with DisplayHDR 1000 standard, Extremely high brightness possible, Lots of input options, Reasonably loud 7W built-in s
Brightness uniformity mediocre, 60Hz refresh and 4ms pixel response aren't ideal for gaming, Gamma presets somewhat variable
The Philips Momentum 436M6VBPAB isn't quite perfect, but it does tick a lot of boxes for certain types of user. Ardent gamers are probably going to want to aim for a 2,560 x 1,440 screen with 144Hz or (if you're minted), a 4K screen offering this frequenc...
Primed for console gaming, Outstanding brightness and contrast, Good out-the-box colour accuracy, DisplayHDR 1000 certification, Impressive DTS speakers, Bundled remote control
Not ideal for PC use, Only one HDMI input, Uniformity could be better
A super-sized monitor designed to displace the traditional TV may seem a niche solution, yet it's also a sign of how viewing habits in general are changing.Live TV is no longer a requirement for many users, and if you're seeking a panel with superior...

Fast response times, very low lag, Adaptive Sync support all make for a great console gaming experience, Good HDR support with high peak brightness, good local dimming, high HDR contrast and low blooming, Large screen size and TV-like features make it a g
sRGB factory calibration mode unusable, Not ideal for close up PC use due to text fringing and static dithering artefacts, Missing an extra HDMI port

The Philips Momentum 436M6VBPAB is a glimpse into the future. In a few years, 'hdr1000' and 'dci-p3' will be standard features, but for the time being they are a rarity. In an earlier article we discussed the Asus ProArt PA32UC, which managed to produce a...

If I had my way, I think everyone should have a large format 4K HDR display to work and game on. It's quite a joyful luxury to have. Of course, for those limited on space and furthermore budget, it's unlikely to appeal. However, for the enthusiast gamer w...
It really is too early to make any definitive judgement on the Philips 436M6VBPAB. It certainly seemed to hint at providing a snappier, smoother gaming experience than some TVs, and there's potential in its HDR claims too. We'll need plenty more gaming an...
Abstract: The Philips 436M6VBPAB is a massive 43inch, 4K monitor designed specifically for use with games consoles. Essentially, it's a living room TV but optimised for gamers, and with the TV tuner removed. Just who would such a device appeal to? Well, if you're...
