Xbox players no longer need to research which gaming monitor to buy! Because Philips directly launched the 559M1RYV gaming monitor specially designed for Xbox Series X, and it also has exclusive Xbox authorization certification. Although it already has a 55-inch ultra-large volume that is not to be underestimated, the actual test is really a plug in Xbox. The whole exudes a different aura!
Philips 559M1RYV is equipped with HDMI 2.1 that can achieve ultra-fast frequency of 4K@144Hz, supports VESA DisplayHDR 1000, and also comes with a special Kvadrat wool material covering the Sound Bar, which is made by high-end audio brand Bowers & Wilkins. The picture quality is beautiful and the sound effect is It’s surging. Just imagine it makes Xbox players excited. Come and see our unboxing.
559M1RYV appearance / basic functions
Philips 559M1RYV is a 55-inch large monitor with a diagonal of nearly 140 cm. If a dog appears in the screen at this size, it will scare your pets. So in terms of appearance, how will Philips design it to bring out the atmosphere of the 559M1RYV?
The front frame of the 559M1RYV is a primary color metal frame, with a hairline design. The metallic luster looks super fire, which is different from the same silver but smooth surface design. The screen frame thickness is only about 1.9cm, with a 55-inch large-size W-LED VA panel, the overall color of the screen and the details of the dark parts are not bad, and the effect of playing games or watching movies is quite good.
The Philips logo in the lower left corner of the screen, and the Game Features for Xbox sticker in the lower right corner, indicate that this is a display optimized for Xbox and supports the function of controlling the console through the remote control.
What surprised me the most was the B&W Sound Bar at the bottom of the front center of the screen. The famous Zeppelin Bluetooth speakers and Nautilus Nautilus speakers were made by B&W. B&W’s speakers are not only noble and beautiful, but also top-notch sound quality.
The speaker contains two tweeters, two 10W mid-tweeters, and a 20W woofer. It adopts Bowers & Wilkins 2.1-channel sound design, supports DTS, and has a continuous average output power of 40W, which is sufficient for general small and medium-sized spaces. The suspension design Sound Bar integrated into the TV is of a considerable level in terms of appearance design and sound performance.
The sound effects of programs that you usually don’t pay much attention to when watching TV suddenly become thick and multi-layered. Just watching a house renovation program can also make you move up and down. After all, the Sound Bar has built-in high, medium and low frequency monomers. , You can imagine how good its sound quality is when playing games, and the 559M1RYV has built-in multiple sound effects modes, such as sports racing, shooting and action, music, movie watching, etc., which can definitely meet the requirements for sound Picky players!
Back design and I/O ports
On the back panel, the 559M1RYV is directly divided into three large blocks. The I/O ports include a USB-C 3, 1 Display Port, 3 HDMI 2.1, 3.5mm audio output hole, 1 USB-B upstream There are as many as 4 USB 3.2 ports, all planned on the lower right side of the back panel, and two yellow USBs with lightning patterns support fast charging of smart devices.
The five-way joystick that controls all functions of the screen is placed in the lower left corner, and the center of the back of the screen is the VESA lock point for wall-mounted use. The size is 200mm x 200mm.
The 559M1RYV screen bracket adopts an inverted T-shaped design, extending all the way from under the back panel to the front of the Sound Bar, stably supporting the entire screen, and the screen can also be tilted back and forth (inclination angle -5 degrees, elevation angle up to 10 degrees), the overall There is no redundant design, and the appearance is quite simple and neat.
If you think that the 559M1RYV backplane design is only simple and simple, you are wrong. In fact, it is also equipped with dazzling RGB lighting effects and supports the latest Ambiglow Ambilight technology. When turned on, there will be a halo around the screen. In addition to having The most basic breathing light settings can also follow the image and sound changes, automatically adjust the color and brightness of the light, so that the player can be more immersed in the atmosphere of the game or movie.
The whole row of small white dots on the top and left and right sides of the screen back panel, from a distance, I thought it was a screw exposed design, but after a closer look, it was actually a RGB LED light. Although the exposed design may be unsightly, some people think it is not beautiful. But hidden around the back, you don’t usually see the LED particles directly, and there is no problem of the diffuser losing light. It works well on the wall. I think Philips really hid a hand~
Finally, 559M1RYV also comes with a thin and light remote control. In addition to basic functions such as adjusting the volume and switching sources, you can also quickly open the menu to set Ambiglow lighting effects, various sound effects and picture modes, etc., and you can also control the connection through the remote control. The Xbox console is very convenient.

Xbox gaming experience-DisplayHDR 1000 certified screen performance is extraordinary
After connecting Philips 559M1RYV to Xbox series X, the first game to play is the racing game “Forza Horizon 4”. The opening picture is really amazing, because the color contrast is high, so you can feel one grass and one grass. The details and texture of the wood are quite layered, just like a painting with proper shades.
When the light and shadow change, the smoothness of the sports car paint and the uneven gravel on the road are also quite realistic. The overall color is bright and saturated, but it does not make people feel uncomfortable. From the maple red in autumn to the snow white in winter, every transition is Enjoy and have a great sense of presence. This is the ability to fully present Xbox screens through DisplayHDR 1000 and DCI-P3 up to 95%.
In the screen reaction part, 120Hz high update rate. Under the high-speed movement of vehicles in the game, you can feel the image flow and speed feedback is quite natural and real. For players who like to play racing games, the high update rate of 4K@120Hz brings images The experience is pretty good.
Then I played the action RPG “Crimson Knot”. Compared with the detailed “Forza Horizon 4”, I think the “Crimson Knot” highlights the smoothness of the 559M1RYV color gradient. For example, you will need to choose at the beginning of the game. For the characters, the two protagonists seem to be at a time when dusk is approaching the evening, and the sky’s yellow, orange, red and black blend naturally.
The buildings on the left that resemble the Tokyo Tower are basically composed of orange and red with different gradations, but the net-like structure can be clearly seen. After selecting the male protagonist to zoom in, even the buildings below the tower can be brightly lit.
4K@120Hz smooth gaming experience
Entering the battle screen, when the characters in the game use their skills, they will first smash things on the enemy with their thoughts, and then rush to the enemy with a rapid swing. There will be a screaming purple knife light. When the enemy is about to strike back, Quickly retreat, as well as the use of combo techniques.
With ultra-clear 4K resolution and 120Hz update rate, the character movements are not blurred at all, the whole is clear and smooth, and the paint does not fall off. It is not afraid of interrupting the smoothness of continuous skills due to delays, and the gorgeous purple special effects are also very neat when moving. Falling, appearing in an instant, and quickly withdrawing, it feels very good to hit the spot~
In fact, the author found that many players do not require the performance of the hardware when the game is played, because the home machine can be played very vigorously as long as the TV is connected, but after experiencing the performance of the 559M1RYV with almost zero delay, I believe you really Will not go back.
When playing on TV, I found that the characters in the game will be slightly delayed, so I often unconsciously long-press or vigorously press the handle button to confirm whether the command has been received. Of course, in this case , It is more difficult to seize the opportunity in battle, and the coolness of the game will be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is very important to have a good e-sports screen. You will definitely find the difference between it and the TV right away.
B&W Sound Bar has extra points for sound effects, making games and movies exciting!
In the game, in addition to the good picture and no delay, it is not enough. Of course, there must be sound effects. B&W’s speakers really live up to expectations. The second two dubbing when the character moves, the handsome swish when swinging the knife, and the technologically explosive SAS connection sound effects. Wait, even if they appear at the same time, they won’t fight.
Each sound from the horn performs its duties, giving you a feeling that the game character is super busy but methodical. Finally, come to a finishing move and end the battle with a powerful bass that can feel the impact of the impact. The whole is hearty and there is no cold field!
When watching the movie, the fineness of the picture is quite sufficient, whether it is the 4K60 frame trailer of “Black Widow”, the high-gloss area of Scarlett Johansson’s new-generation white Avengers costume, or the popular Netflix series “Relic Organizer”, When Han Kelu and his uncle Cao Shangjiu were in a low-light scene, the bokeh with light spots behind the facial skin details was naturally excessive, the bright parts would not be overexposed, and the dark details were quite satisfactory, and the picture looked quite smooth. And there is a three-dimensional effect.
to sum up
The 55-inch large screen of 559M1RYV allows you to fully experience the delicate texture of 4K, and the color rendering of DisplayHDR 1000 is even more enchanting. When playing with Xbox series X, you can enjoy a smooth 4K@120Hz experience. After connecting to a computer, you can enjoy the smooth experience of 4K@120Hz. Playing 4K@144Hz games on the screen, you can enjoy high-quality, high-smooth 3A masterpieces at home, it’s great~
In addition to the Sound Bar with B&W, multi-unit settings, support for DTS, and with B&W built-in multiple different sound mode settings, the game sound effects displayed are of a sound level, for players who are both gamers and sound enthusiasts , Is simply a great gospel.
Regardless of the low and rumbling racing engine running, the harsh brakes rubbing the road, the sound of vehicles approaching, the deafening gunshots of shooting games, the sound of footsteps approaching enemies, or the melodious and beautiful music in action games, they can be faithfully presented and restored. It also makes people more immersed and intoxicated with the sound and light experience brought by the game. Seeing this, don’t you Xbox players still switch to 559M1RYV?
