PHILIPS 328E1CA 32 Curved Monitor, 4K UHD, 120% SRGB, Adaptive-Sync, Speakers, VESA, 4Yr Advance Replacement Warranty

i am using these for documents. if you are working on color critical images, go with the ezio or other high end monitor intended for color accuracy. I use two of these because I always have multiple documents open that I reference. the text is crystal clear. i use an amd radeon rx580 graphics card with 8gb ram and two of these monitors cabled with displayport cables. a bit of overkill but i didnt have to install any special driver for these monitors to work. i did turn the brightness down to 50%. they were too bright for my liking. i set both monitors to the same settings for brightness, contrast, etc. i dragged a document between both monitors and i can see they are not close to being the same in color and brightness. this is why i wouldnt recommend them for real world graphic or photographic work. for the price it was well worth it and it serves my purpose. so far, so good.

This was a good monitor, but it died after 14 months. The display is now black so it is either a dead logic board or backlight. I contacted Philips via email using the contact information provided here by Amazon, but after 2 weeks Ive yet to get a reply back from them. So dont trust the 4Yr Advance Replacement Warranty, which apparently is worthless. Ill be trying to reach them via phone and will update this review if they follow-up with some way to get this monitor replaced or repaired. Update 1: After waiting 2 weeks without a reply, I re-sent the email (I found no way to reach them via phone). I received a reply 3 days later (on Thanksgiving) with a ticket and a request for lots more information: picture of front/back of monitor, picture of issue, picture of serial, picture of receipt, etc. Ive now sent all this along and am waiting on a reply. I guess we will now see if they reply with the warranty denied because of physical damage thing that Ive seen posted repeatedly here and elsewhere on the internet. If they do then I guess we will all know the warranty is a scam since my monitor has been used only on my desk and is flawless, as the photos attest. Update 2: Two days after I sent along the requested information, I received a reply that they are issuing an RMA. They have shipped me a replacement monitor via FedEx (should be here within a week) and have I received en email for a FedEx return label to send back my defective monitor once the replacement arrives. So it would seem that they do honor the warranty, at least in my case. Ive bumped the rating up to 2 stars and will adjust it again when the replacement arrives, assuming all is well. Update 3: The replacement monitor arrive, slightly ahead of schedule. It looks to be in great condition. I have adjusted the rating to 3 stars. In reality this is a 4-star monitor (the Dell S3221QS is far superior), but Im leaving one star off for the poor reliability. Even though the warranty did come through for me, this was still a hassle.

Ok so not sure where to begin, this screen is amazing. I originally purchased a 32 LG Ultrawide from BB and although it was cheaper it was hard for me to go from two 27 curved screens to a complete flat screen even though it was a ultrawide. So since I was returning the LG to BB, I looked for another screen but I couldnt find a good price on a UltraWide curved screen so I checked here on amazon. I found this Philips and since my office uses these and I am familiar with the brand I chose this model. Wow, It is so clear, and has so many options its unreal. Comes with every cable needed, built in speakers, and very well packaged. One note is you have to go to their website to download the software to take advantage of all the features. It also has a USB-C port to charge my laptop or cell phone. I also tried Valheim and the game is awesome on this screen. I did have to turn off V-Sync for it to be super smooth. Shipping was super fast with prime, I ordered on Saturday and it arrived Monday afternoon. Lastly its nice Philips stands behind their monitors with a standard 4-YEAR Warranty! Some others have 3 years but 4 Years is unheard of. Anyways I really think anyone that purchases this screen will be as happy as I am.

After using this 4K monitor, I dont know how I possibly could have worked on a regular HD monitor prior to this. This monitor is a total game changer and the resolution is fantastic.

I bought this monitor 8 months ago as an external for my 2021 Macbook Pro M1 16, and although the picture quality was nice, it kept flickering. I had to constantly change the color profile to remedy this, and it would often be a color profile that didnt quite work for me. The screen was also VERY fragile. Last week, I accidentally bumped the screen VERY lightly with the edge of my bluetooth keyboard, and it cracked, rendering the monitor useless. I had no accidental damage protection as far as I know, and it would have cost hundreds to fix, so I decided to sideline it and purchase a new LG 34WN80C-B UltraWide 34” 21:9 Curved WQHD (3440 x 1440) IPS Display, and it has performed flawlessly, ... with NO flickering. I cant recommend this Philips 328E1CA monitor due to the flickering and fragility, among a few other annoyances like the questionable support and UI. Although the picture is nice, Im way happier with my new LG Ultrawide 34.

I have bought four of these monitors so far. One my wife uses for casual computer use and for her real estate business. The other three I use for writing code (for my job) and also for casual gaming. They have all performed remarkably and are nice and big and bright and have a perfect curve to them. The only difficult part I have experienced is it can be hard to find a triple monitor stand/mount big enough to fit them, the one I have which does work just barely fits these large 32 screens and doesnt make as good of use of the curve as it could, but thats not an issue with these screens. Its nice that they support both HDMI and Displayport. I dont think you can find a better 4k curved monitor for the price anywhere.

I love this monitor but the screen blinks on and off randomly especially after I turn it on. As this is a gaming monitor, it is not great when fighting.

Wonderful monitor- crisp, easy to read. Got it as alternative to dual monitors for work from home. I forgot to check to see if it had a VESA adapter so no wall moonted arm I guess. That’s my only disappointment.

Absolutely amazing monitor, cannot recommend it enough. Screen is sharp and bright, very sleek and looks fantastic on the desk. The curve is actually quite effective and Ive noticed an increase in productivity in front of it. Havent tested the speakers yet, but if youre interested, sound will still come through my Macbooks speakers when both connected and closed. The price is simply unbeatable, too. Great product from Philips.

Very good monitor! Speakers are not the best though if you are searching for a monitor with speakers like I was. It can get really bright which was something I liked. Very study stand and I liked how I could connect my MacBook to it with 1 cable and it function as a display cable and a charger
