Award-winning reviews
How do you balance gaming and creation? The answer can be found on the Philips 498P9Z. The Philips 498P9Z is a product that integrates office and gaming, such as its KVM function, which can control two computers with a set of keyboards and mice; and the 165Hz refresh rate reaches the level of e-sports monitors, which can improve the smoothness of the game. In addition, the high level of color saturation, even if it is used for graphic image creation is no problem. In particular, the price of less than 10,000 yuan is much cheaper than the 12999 yuan of the previous generation of Philips 499P9H1, and it has also been upgraded in terms of functions, which can be described as no increase in price.
