With the 27E3U7903, Philips is launching a new monitor on the market that is specifically aimed at professional users. Thanks to its 5K resolution, Thunderbolt 4 and color-accurate display, the model should appeal to creative professionals, developers and demanding office users in particular. However, the integrated webcam and Smart KVM functions also make the monitor a versatile tool for everyday work.
- 27-inch display with 5K resolution (5,120 x 2,880 pixels)
- Color fidelity thanks to Delta E < 2, 160% sRGB and 99.5% AdobeRGB
- Thunderbolt 4 with 96-watt charging function and daisy chaining
- Integrated 5 MP webcam with auto-framing and stereo speakers
Impressive image quality for creative precision
At the heart of the 27E3U7903 is its 27-inch IPS panel with an unusually high resolution of 5,120 x 2,880 pixels. This means the monitor significantly exceeds the current 4K standard and offers more workspace with a razor-sharp display, particularly for image processing, video editing or software development. With a brightness of 500 cd/m² and DisplayHDR 600 certification, high-contrast content is displayed realistically – ideal for professional workflows.
Another highlight is the color accuracy: The color deviation is specified with a Delta E of less than 2, which means a very precise color representation in practice. According to Philips, the monitor covers 160% of the sRGB color space and achieves 99.5% in the AdobeRGB spectrum. This is a strong argument for color grading, graphic design or other color-critical applications. Hardware calibration is also supported to ensure long-term color stability.
Versatile connectivity and smart features
The Philips 27E3U7903 not only scores with its picture quality, but also with its connectivity: in addition to HDMI 2.1, the model has Thunderbolt 4, which not only processes image signals, but can also charge connected devices with up to 96 watts. For the workplace, this means less cable clutter and full compatibility with modern laptops and docking solutions. Daisy chaining is also supported – perfect for users who work with multiple displays.
The integrated Smart KVM technology is a practical function for everyday use. It enables simultaneous switching of input devices (such as keyboard and mouse) when switching between two connected systems – a real advantage for anyone who frequently switches between work and home devices or between Windows and Mac. In addition, two image sources can be displayed simultaneously.
Integrated webcam with auto-framing and energy-saving functions
The integrated 5 megapixel webcam is also becoming increasingly important, especially in times of hybrid working models. Philips has equipped it with a microphone and an auto-framing function that automatically adjusts the image when people move around the room or several participants need to be captured in the image. This also turns the monitor into a fully-fledged video conferencing solution – without additional peripherals.
Two 5-watt stereo speakers are also built in and provide sufficient sound for meetings or multimedia applications. The setup is complemented by the PowerSensor 2, which detects whether a person is in front of the screen and reduces the brightness accordingly. This saves energy and extends the life of the display.
Conclusion
With the 27E3U7903, Philips is clearly targeting professional users who value high resolution, color precision and modern connectivity options. The combination of a 5K panel, Thunderbolt 4, color calibration and integrated webcam makes the monitor a powerful tool for the office, studio and home office. The model is currently listed in stores for around 1,090 euros – a fair price for a versatile high-end display.
