CONCLUSION

   Using a Datacolor Spyder5ELITE+ colorimeter (review soon) we measured 100% of the sRGB gamut and 85% of the Adobe RGB color space while the maximum brightness level was measured at 258cd/m2. Unfortunately even at 300cd/m2 the Brilliance BDM4037UW is not the best monitor for use in really bright rooms so at 258cd/m2 that becomes even more evident (although i can't say we had any issues with its brightness levels during our tests). What most potential buyers however will undoubtedly look is the massive size of the Brilliance BDM4037UW along with its 4k resolution and of course its very good design. Certainly the lack of height and pivot/swivel adjustment are things that professionals will probably not overlook but you can always opt for a wall or desk mount to get all these so i wouldn't say it's a party crasher. The same applies with the lack of more available menu options since although most people will find themselves not even using the ones available professionals may expect more (and unfortunately this time over there's no solid workaround). Last but not least build quality may not be the best we've seen to date from a monitor (or a TV screen for that matter) but at the same time it's much better than some models we've seen so we really can't complain (at least not when we're talking about an affordable 40 inch 4k UHD model).

   So just how much affordable is the Brilliance BDM4037UW? Well currently you can find it for USD799.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 673Euros inside the EU (Insight UK) a price tag which actually puts the Brilliance BDM4037UW right between several 35 and 42 inch 4k models. At the end of the day it all comes down to whether or not you need the extra space offered by a 40 inch 4k monitor or if your needs could also be covered by a 32 inch one (or even smaller). Personally having used 30 and 34 inch models these past 6 years for my primary test rig i think that 34/35 is the ideal size for me even after using the Brilliance BDM4037UW for a total of 3 weeks. Overall however we can't deny that the Brilliance BDM4037UW offers a very good bang for your buck so that along with the fact that this is one of the largest curved 4k monitors in the market today (if not the largest) are more than enough to bestow it with our Golden Award.
