Philips BDM4037UW - The giant that doesn't just care about size

Introductory

This monitor testing started funny. Anyone who has read a few weeks ago how the test subject arrived at me is welcome to skip the next paragraph.

So it so happened that I got a list of monitors that could be tested. In the previous two tests, I went for more reasonable or interesting solutions, neglecting the top UHD displays. That’s why I thought it was time to try out a 4K monitor. If you goose, then be fat, not only to be 4K, but also bent. I choose this!

A week and a half later, the courier arrived with the monitor. As usual, I was called to stand here in front of the building with my luggage. At such times I will always tell you that on the first floor, to the left of the offices, there I am waiting at the door. However, instead of the usual answer, the courier now asked if I had a trolley. I didn’t really understand the issue, as a monitor doesn’t really need a trolley, so I said no, but just bring it up, there’s an elevator to the first floor as well. He said he certainly wouldn't raise that.

I sent it to myself quickly for a warmer climate, I told him it was okay, not to touch it, I would go down and pick it up myself. The surprise came in the trunk of the truck, the monitor box occupied a euro pallet. I couldn't spit or swallow. It wasn't hard, but in return it was awfully big. I carried it up to the office, unfolded the outer papundeklit, and saw inside a large colored cardboard measuring 40 inches. When selecting, I read all the product features, not one thing, the size.

So it turned out that a television-sized, UHD-resolution, curved display monitor has been spreading on my desk for a week and a half now. I just got to the point where I felt impressed enough to delight you with an objective presentation without bias.
