What do you mean that's not a TV!? The 55-inch Philips Momentum 559M1RYV monitor fills a niche, and credenza, for hardcore gamers.

, but 4ms is slow by gaming monitor standards, so competitive players might find that its sharp picture falls prey to light artifacting and other visual hiccups in high-speed, low-fi esports scenarios. The 559M1RYV’s rated for 95% DCI-P3 wide color gamut, outputting deep, well-saturated color.

And then there are the places where the two functions blend. I see it most in the 559M1RYV’s Ambiglow lighting—built-in LEDs that project RGB lighting from the top and sides of the TV, either based on what’s on your screen or in a colorful, mood-setting pattern. I loved that the backlighting is easily configured through the monitor’s settings menu. Is it useful in any way? Absolutely not. But it will absolutely change the whole mood of a darkened room in a very fun way.

The contrast is also strong in smaller, specific details, so you get those perfect, subtle, HDR-enhanced moments like shadows cast by a campfire at night. Don’t expect to get the amazing blacks of either an OLED or even a QLED panel, though. In fact, I found some issues with LED blooming, which can make the bottom corners of the screen appear lighter than they should. It was really only noticeable in the opening moments of watching a show or starting a game, however, and quickly dissipated.
