Unfortunately, we have no experience of this ourselves. We have therefore forwarded the question to our community so that experienced customers can share their knowledge with you.
I can't tell you that because I have a different setting. I start the Mac Mini by pressing a button and then the screen starts automatically. Probably won't help you.
You need a USBC out port and an HDMI out port - if you don't have that, you need a docking station. You could also use another USB A port on the notebook, but then you need an HDMI adapter with an integrated graphics card and it is more expensive than a small docking station with 2 HDMI ports
With this monitor, you can take advantage of the KVM function to connect two laptops and easily switch between them, while the integrated video camera with auto-framing and noise-cancelling microphone is ideal for frequent video calls.
As for screen sharing in Teams or Zoom, you cannot directly share 'just half' of the screen as if it were a separate monitor. However, you can share a single window or specific application, e.g. one that takes up half the screen, thus making the content more readable for those with a smaller screen. In addition, with software such as Fancy Zones from Microsoft PowerToys you can organise windows into 16:9 zones and share only the window in that zone, facilitating visibility for other participants.
Alternatively, there are tools that allow you to quickly change the monitor resolution while sharing to improve readability for other users, but this is not a native function of the monitor itself.
Therefore, for your need to share only half the screen legibly, the best solution is to share the specific window or application you are interested in, not the entire ultra-wide screen.
* USB-C1 at the bottom of the monitor: 96W
* USB-C2 on the side of the monitor: 15W
* WebCam can be extended at the top of the monitor: YES (compatible for Windows login with face recognition)
According to our information, the product has a USB-C connection with DisplayPort Alt mode. Thunderbolt is not supported.
This is a technical filter that only lists products with explicit Thunderbolt support. USB-C with DP Alt mode is not sufficient to appear in the "Thunderbolt" filter.
Ja, das siehst du richtig: User Guide Seite 22 = 'This monitor accepts a 100mm x 100mm VESA-Compliant mounting interface.' Den UG kannst du dir von der philips product page gratis runterladen.
I was able to do a search and Windows itself should have an integrated tool for the window arrangement. I was able to find the following instructions from Microsoft:
How to arrange windows Windows 11
I have not yet used the Philips software. Perhaps someone can share their experience with us in this regard.
Well, I've read that too, but I have to say that it still works. At least with my setup. I have a MacBook Pro and a Windows laptop, each connected with just one USB-C cable. Both are charged, both have 1Gbit LAN and both have full resolution, although I only ever work with one computer.
The warranty will be processed by us within 24 months. At the end of this period, you must contact the manufacturer directly.
About the refresh rate:
- Maximum resolution: 5,120 x 1,440 at 75 Hz
- Sampling frequency: HDMI: 30-140 kHz (H)/48-75 Hz (V); DP: 30-114 kHz (H)/48-75 Hz (V); USB-C: 30-75 Hz
Hello,
The monitor has a built-in 5 megapixel camera that can be retracted when not needed, but it is also in the technical data sheet and you can see it in the centre of the picture
According to my research, it is actually only the Thunderbolt 4 port on the "49B2U6903CH" and a USB-C with PD and DP on the "49B2U6900CH". According to the user manual, you can switch off "auto-framing" on the "6903" model. The manual also states that the 6903" monitor is fully compatible with MacOS, i.e. Macbooks and iMacs, including the KVM function.
I have already requested the correction. "MMD" is the company in the background, responsible for Philips monitors, as far as my research goes. The monitor is a "Philips 49B2U6903CH/00" according to our supplier details.
None at all. The screen has an integrated USB hub. You can connect your mouse, keyboard, LAN and other devices to the screen. You have 2 USB-C inputs and can therefore connect 2 laptops at the same time, both of which are supplied with power. You can switch between the 2 USB-C inputs with 3x CTRL or the OSD menu or set a split screen and then see both screens at the same time.
When we talk about 4K, 5K or 8K, we are only referring to the number of horizontal pixels. In this case, you have 5K, but the overall resolution is lower than with a UHD monitor. You can also notice a difference if you pay attention.
Hello,
To manage the devices with KVM and PBP mode, everything is done via the OSD of the monitor. No software or similar needs to be installed. Details on how it works can be found in the operating instructions from page 16 to 18: https://www.documents.philips.com/assets...
Daniel, probably you the only owner in CH so far :) Congrats! I am thinking about this item as well. For KVM - did you install software on both PC? I guess KVM should be activated somewhere in the software. By the way, can you please help me with these questions: (1) both your notebooks are connected ONLY via Type-C, so both use Type-C for display, not HDMI, not DP? Is that correct? (2) How does sound work while connected to two PCs? Do speakers cast sound from both sources somehow, or only an active device (e.g., active by KVM) is cast? (3) the same as 2, but for LAN connection - if you know that. If i plug RJ45 Ethernet into the monitor - will it provide Ethernet connection to both PCs connected by Type-C? (4) The same as above 2 and 3 - but for camera :). (5) What about charging over Type-C? Does it charge simultaneously on both laptops? I want to use the device in the following set-up: one mini PC is connected all the time via Type-C (and powered via Type-C), and ad-hoc connections of my laptop by Type-C as well. That is why i am interested in. MiniPC is supposed to be always on, with the possibility to log in to your personal account via webcam authorization (Windows Hello feature).
UPDATE!!!
After what felt like 3 hours of research:
Reset the monitor configurations -> install the software from Philips https://www.philips.ch/c-p... -> update the monitor firmware -> additionally connect with the USB B cable.
Now the wake-up works via the keyboard.
LG and have fun with the 49B2U5900CH
Unfortunately, we have not received this information, nor does the manufacturer Philips provide any details on its own product page:

Judging purely by eye, I think it should be 1800R.
