Today, Philips has released two new desktop monitors for office use, with a superwide 32:9 format that closely resembles the 40-inch ultrawide monitors introduced last month. The models, named 45B1U6900CH and 45B1U6900C, share identical panels, designs, bases, and ergonomic features. These monitors come equipped with a 44.5-inch VA display featuring a 1500R curvature and a super-ultra-wide resolution of 5,120 x 1,440 pixels.

While both models have two HDMI 2.0 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.4 input with HBR3, a USB Type-C port with DP Alt mode and 100W power delivery, and a 1Gbps LAN port with Wake on Lan, there may be differences in their implementation.
