Philips BDM3470UP monitor sports 21:9 AH-IPS display

Who said anything about innuendo and BDSM jokes?

The Philips BDM3470UP is a new 21:9 monitor in 3440x1440, but unlike most ultrawides, it’s designed for content creation rather than content consumption. 

The BDSM monitor is based on a 34-inch AH-IPS display with a 10-bit colour palette capable of displaying 1.07 billion colours, and 50 shades of grey. The viewing angles are 178°/178°and max brightness is rated at 320 cd/m².

Philips made it clear that this is no toy, as it’s designed for professionals. This form factor and resolution are not exactly common on professional monitors, as most of them feature 16:9 panels in 4K or UHD.

Bondage fans will be happy to learn that the BDM3470UP features two independent USB hubs, a two-port USB 3.0 unit, and a two-port USB 2.0 hub, so it’s good for foursomes, too. The USB 3.0 hub has a high-current fast charger for mobile devices and the monitor has a stereo audio input as well – remember kids, always use a safe-word.

Now, if you are into really kinky stuff (who are we to judge), you can mount it on a wall using standard VESA wall mounts, but you’ll have to get the leather swing on your own. A range of different positions is made possible by its strong, curved stand – so you can adjust the height, tilt and rotation.

Findom fetishists are catered to as well, as the BDSM3470UP will be priced at about $1,200, according to TechPowerUp. Still, that’s not too bad for a professional monitor, and the spacious 3440x1440 display should be a good choice for video editing and post processing in 720p and 1080p.
