Philips has announced the 34B2U5900C, a 34-inch curved business ultrawide monitor featuring dual-mode resolution switching. 

Releasing this month, the 34B2U5900C allows users to toggle between a WUHD 5120×2160 resolution at 120Hz and a WFHD 2560×1080 resolution at 240Hz via a dedicated OSD button. Built around a curved VA panel with 178-degree viewing angles, this display carries VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, along with TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light and Eyesafe 2.0 hardware protection. For colour-critical work, it comes Calman Ready to interface directly with Portrait Displays' calibration software.

Docking capabilities include a USB-C upstream port that provides display, data, and up to 140W Power Delivery. A secondary USB-C downstream port supplies up to 15W and works alongside an integrated USB 3.2 hub and an RJ45 Ethernet jack that supports MAPT, PXE, and WOL. SmartKVM lets you switch between two connected input sources by pressing the “Ctrl” key three times.

Energy management relies on built-in PowerSensor and LightSensor tech that adjusts brightness based on ambient light and user presence. Physical features include an earphone hook and an adjustable stand that supports height, tilt, and swivel adjustments. This monitor will be released in September 2026 for £574.99.

KitGuru says: Although it's a business monitor, its spec sheet suggests it's well-suited to many other uses, making it more of a do-it-all monitor.
