Reviewer score 86%The 559M1RYV uses the monitor’s full native gamut, which is just over 90% of the DCI-P3 color space. You can choose from preset color temps by Kelvin value, tweak a set of RGB sliders, or use sRGB for SDR material. Ambiglow is something that may be worth buying a Philips monitor for.
