I could only find %15 off on the Dell currently. That is not enough to bring the price down to even +50% of the Philips price. The Philips came to just over $800 from Amazon meaning I would need to find a %40 off coupon from Dell to get into the same price range. I'm not knocking the Dell at all, and it looks like they should be excellent as well, but comes at a hefty price.
If the Philips doesn't please me, or has some problem, it will go back to Amazon and I will buy the Dell. With the limited information and reviews of these two monitors, I just can't see how the Dell will be $400 better than the Philips.
I also know I want to end up with a 43" 4k OLED when something like that is released and can't see spending extra money these LCD monitors now.
Also, if I do come across a 25-40% off from Dell I will probably just buy one of those too so I can compare.
Lender mentioned that his is expected to be delivered tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to some first impressions.Amen on the lag. If these really are out then it shouldn't be long until we get some official reviews that shed some light on their performance in the usual key areas. I do hope you get it tomorrow (just in time for the weekend, yay right?!) and look forward to your impressions. Really glad I didn't get the BDM4065UC because although the size and price were pluses, it just felt like there were too many compromises. I'm really glad that Philips decided to continue the trend and release an improved version for 2016, and having Dell on board this train is a good thing as well.

My b. I'm eyeball deep in a project someone wanted last week but I was only told about it Tuesday. Was quickly glancing through the unread posts while waiting for the server to respond.Yup hence why I said that I hope he gets it tomorrow; I too am looking forward to some impressions of this thing. But unless he has a lag tester, we won't know those numbers...hopefully he'll be able to compare with his existing monitor and be able to say "Heck yeah, this feels really good!"
It is here!
Taking a lunch break, but I have to finish up work. Should have some more info later for you all but I just wanted to let you know that I HAVE IT!
Waiting for your test!! Is it a glossy screen??
I checked for dead/stuck/bright pixels and I can't find any. Woohoo!
Light bleed isn't bad at all, if any. I can't really see any bleed and I can't take any good pictures for you with all the daylight right now. Tonight I will take some pictures and do the input lag test.
So far so good. My biggest gripes with this monitor are the logo/led below the bezel at the bottom (going to be trying to remove it on Sunday), the monitor buttons/controls/power are on the back side of the monitor, the stand, and when the monitor wakes from sleep mode, all my open windows are shoved to the top left of the monitor. I might find another fix for the last issue, and suggestions are welcome, but I haven't solved that yet. Other than those things, I have no other qualms with it so far. Very sharp, clear and beautiful.
Off to play with the toy.
For anyone living in Canada. I emailed Philips this week and they said they are in touch with Best Buy to to have them stock it up here. They said it was looking like mid-may. "MSRP is not set yet but it should be close to CAD equivalent of US price", so that's good. The BDM4065UC was at BB here, so it's just a matter of time.
I tried but was unable to get it to work. I'm going with no on that one.are you able to overclock to 120hz at 1080p on this panel?

I guess 120hz would be kind of cool but at 1080p it just isn't something I care about personally. Now if it was 4k 120hz, that might be more interesting (even thought I couldn't hardly push that kind of fps with my 980ti in any game).
PS: When I VESA mounted this today to my table, the small Philips logo below the monitor removed SUPER easy with just two screws and that allowed me to put it about 1/4" inch off my desk. I love how I now have NO logo or any junk on the bezel anywhere. Sweetness.

The most I can overclock mine to is 66Hz.
Which mount did you use for it?
Adding freesync would IMO hurt the sales. That's why you almost never see a freesync monitor without a G-sync alternative also on the offer. Nvidia has ~80% GPU market share and these owners would be reluctant to buy a freesync product, even though it has no downsides, but simply not being able to take advantage of adaptive sync technology would be a huge turn off. And companies know that.User on YT confirmed no freesync.
Fuck you, Phillips. You'd better be updating the firmware soon....

I think those would be nice bonuses, G-sync or Freesync, but they are geared toward the gamer. These 4k monitors are really great for productivity though and it is why many people are moving to them (requiring neither G-sync nor Freesync).
Gaming at 4k also takes what, 2xTitan X cards to get reasonable frame rates in AAA titles? You will see 4k and gaming converge much faster once we get single cards that can push 60~fps in modern games.
Also, I personally would rather they focus on getting input lag down to zero on 4k monitors first. It seems to be a big problem with almost every 4k TV or monitor. This effects gaming more than having 60-120fps.
Some day we will have everything we want, including OLED, but not today.
PS: Can you tell how obsessed I am with OLED? ug.
