Philips's newest 5K monitor comes with three features that all display vendors should copy — shame it doesn't offer a higher resolution for enhanced productivity

Philips’ most recent business monitor, the 49B2U6900CH, offers a trio of handy features for the modern digital workspace. The 48.8-inch SuperWide display sports a curved frame and boasts a 5K (5120 x 1440) Double QHD resolution, providing a wide viewing angle that would usually require two separate screens. It incorporates low blue mode with flicker-free technology and sits on a height-adjustable stand.

One of the new monitor's key features is an adjustable webcam with auto-framing. This adjusts to include all team members in the frame during video calls, and can tilt 30 degrees to accommodate users of different heights.

There’s a noise-cancelling microphone, and for added convenience, the 49B2U6900CH includes an earphone hook on the bezel, offering a tidy storage solution for headsets.

Busylight

The Busylight, positioned above the webcam, is our favorite addition and is designed to communicate the user's working status. When a user is on a call, the light turns red – reminiscent of the old ‘On Air’ lights seen outside live broadcasts. It can also be manually toggled on or off using the Busylight hotkey on the monitor bezel. The feature can sync with Microsoft Teams statuses.

We also like the Smart KVM feature. By hitting the "Ctrl" key three times, users can switch between sources, eliminating the need to navigate the OSD menus when controlling two PCs with one set of peripherals.

The monitor supports USB-C connectivity, allowing for easy charging of external devices and video/data transfer using a single cable.

The Philips 49B2U6900CH monitor is set to hit the stores in February, retailing at £959.99.

AI tools are making social engineering attacks even more convincing, and I fear that this is only the beginning

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Nick Park’s Wallace and Gromit were brought crashing into the 21st century in December 2024 with their latest adventure, Vengeance Most Fowl . The film challenges our growing dependence on smart technology in the form of a robotic garden gnome, built by Wallace to support his gardening business, which is then hacked by the Kubrick-esque Feathers McGraw for his own nefarious purposes. One of the more interesting but less commented on parts of the film shows Gromit cautiously entering his house and being greeted by what he thinks is Wallace’s reassuring voice, only to be confronted with Feathers and the robotic gnome. Technology’s ability to mimic linguistic patterns, to clone a person’s voice and understand and respond to questions has developed dramatically in the last few years. This has not gone unnoticed by the world’s criminals and scammers, with the result that social engineering attacks are not only on the rise but are more sophisticated a...
