Philips Momentum, The World’s First Monitor Designed for Xbox

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 21 June 2021 – Monitors
& Displays Holding B.V. (‘MMD’), Philips’ monitor license partner, announces
the release of the world’s first Designed for Xbox console gaming monitor. Philips Momentum Designed for Xbox console gaming monitors are
built from the ground up to provide the ultimate experience for Xbox fans. These
Designed for Xbox console gaming monitors set the standard for Xbox gaming. The
inclusion of the new HDMI 2.1 spec now enables next-gen console gaming with 4K resolution
and faster 120Hz refresh rates for ultra-clear and ultra-smooth gaming
performance. Taking it the next level, MMD partnered with Xbox to tune these “Designed
for Xbox” displays to deliver the optimal validated Xbox Series X performance from the moment you
plug it in.

A New Frontier in Console Gaming

Unlike televisions, Philips
Momentum gaming monitors are built for console gaming, with low latency and low
lag as priorities to provide a much smoother, more realistic gaming experience.
The series’ low input lag is a great advantage when playing twitch-sensitive
video games, allowing the input to register on the screen faster. The flagship
55″ Philips Momentum (559M1RYV) will include a specially designed speaker
enclosure from the engineers at Bowers & Wilkins, the British loudspeaker
company globally renowned for their innovative designs and sound engineering,
that completes the experience.

Designed for Xbox

This series of Philips
Momentum monitors delivers Designed for Xbox validated performance with
ultra-clear 4K resolution at a minimum 120Hz refresh rate, HDR support with DisplayHDR
1000, Variable Refresh Rate for smooth gaming and Always Low Latency gaming.  The team has worked together to create Xbox
Game Mode, which creates an exciting mode with specially tuned picture quality
for Xbox. The monitors have been extensively tested, and validated by engineers
at Microsoft and MMD to ensure perfect compatibility, while also meeting the
high expectations that dedicated Xbox fans expect.

“At Xbox, we are
always looking to give our fans choice in how, what and where they play their
favorite games. Today, we’re excited to announce our partnership with Philips
to deliver the first Designed for Xbox monitor, giving fans a unique display
with technology and features that provide the ultimate console gaming
experience for Xbox Series X|S.”
– Matt Kesselring, Director of Xbox Hardware Partnerships.

broke new ground in console gaming as the first monitor to achieve VESA
DisplayHDR 1000 certification.  We are
thrilled that the Momentum console gaming monitors will deliver a new standard
of audio-visual experience that will bring out the very best in your Xbox.”  Chris Brown,
