THE BRILLIANCE BDM4037UW

The Brilliance BDM4037U may not be as large as my 55 inch LED TV but it's by far the largest monitor to ever reach our lab (yes it's that massive).

Philips has only placed a single screw at the base so attaching it to the aluminum stand is very easy (looks great if you ask me).

Curved TVs may not be ideal when there are more than just a couple of people looking at them from several directions but it's a whole different story when it comes to monitors.

Philips has placed their logo at the center of the bottom bezel.

The top and side bezels measure 12.35mm in thickness while the bottom one is a little bit thicker at 19.61mm.

The rear is almost entirely taken by a glossy white plastic cover (the holes here support the VESA 100x100mm standard).

Here we find the menu joystick (quite flimsy - press it for 3 seconds to turn the screen off), power port, MHL-HDMI v1.4 and MHL-HDMI v2.0 ports, 2 DisplayPort ports, VGA (D-Sub) port, Audio in and headphones output (3.5mm), 3 USB 3.0 ports, fast charging USB port (for mobile devices), USB 3.0 host port and a Kensington lock.

This Philips monitor was assembled in China back in December 2016 and the base model name is BDM4037U (this tells us the W at the end stands for white so Philips should also have a black version available somewhere).

As mentioned earlier the aluminum base only offers a tilt adjustment of 5 degrees forward and 10 degrees backwards as seen from the above pictures.
