Cheaper than expected. Most BFDs are $5k+.

well cheap in my opinion - and it's got ambiglow (ambilight) a feature I love on one of the tv's in my house. Will look out for hands on reviews to see if it's actually any good

It mentions HDR1000 under key features so YES it's not the usual Mickey Mouse HDR400/600 you often get at that price point either. They might sell a few of these depending on what LG and Samsung can come up with.

but no hdmi 2.1 ? you'd think that would be in there for the future consoles coming in 6 months.

What's happening here?

For the money I'd get an LG C9 OLED - no displayport, but 4k 120hz VRR and G-Sync support over HDMI 2.1.

Get all smart TV features built in as well.

Screen burn would be a concern if used primarily for desktop usage, but you can get them with a 5 or 6 year warranty depending where you buy from.

Haha… like even the most powerful of PCs could even imagine doing that… nevermind the new consoles

for that price you can get LG oled and have superior picture quality / motion and comparable input lag and refresh rate

Just got an email from Philips saying that “The 558M1RY will be available at the end of June 2020 with a MSRP of £1,199”

It's a weird one for sure. You could potentially argue this is better as a gaming monitor than an equivalent LG due to no burn in risk but from a pure quality PoV, it's simply too close to call.

You can pick up a C9/CX not much different from this price and have:

*OLED
*G-Sync
*Atmos(?)
*HDMI-VRR
*Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+
