> 3 dayi 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.

30-10-2024Ive had this monitor for nearly two years. Its okay. The size and curve are nice. It does have resolution and colors. But it lacks vibrancy and brightness. I have several other 4K monitors - a Samsung 28 and a Monoprice 28. Both have far better color saturation, contrast and brightness. Also, of the three, the Philips is the only one that will often lose track of the inputs.

> 3 dayThe image quality of this monitor is stunning, and it is the most cost effective 32 4K curved monitor on the market, with only $300. The speakers work fine for regular use. The input will automatically default to the one with signals. But if you simultaneous has too inputs, such as a desktop and a laptop, switching between the two requires several clicks of buttons below the monitor. The desk top control app does not allow you to choose input. Overall, it is a great monitor.

> 3 dayI like it overall. The curved screen is really a good idea (I thought it might be a gimmick). The LCD panel is very uniform as compared to an LG monitor that I had recently purchased, and I cant find any bad pixels - all good things. I only have three negatives and they arent very big. First the blue splash screen when it starts up is blinding. If you leave the monitor on all the time and just let it sleep then this will not be an issue for you. Secondly, sometimes when the monitor wakes up the screen looks washed-out. Power cycling it fixes this. The final minor issue is that the minimum brightness is too bright to use the monitor in a dimly lit room.

> 3 dayIm happy with this purchase. Most monitors dont come with speakers (so Ive heard) but I suppose something is better than nothing. The curve really is nice and I LOVE the screen real estate.

> 3 dayThis has been a great monitor except for 1 thing: There is alot of color banding - like there arent enough colors for different darks, so differences in shading dont blend, its a hard stop and start. Also wont support HDR. I thought I saw that in the ad, but I guess I was wrong.

> 3 dayLow glare screen, tons of real-estate, no dead pixels, small desktop footprint - so much to LOVE. I am not a gamer. I do engineering and medical work on this monitor. I do not watch movies on it. So please consider that when reading this review. I am, however, very visual and need sharp, bright monitors. I have several expensive monitors. This one is BY FAR the best value for the money. LOVE IT!!!!

> 3 dayI am thoroughly enjoying my new 34 curved monitor. The only problem I have is that I see that the monitor can be lowered on its stand, but I cannot get it to go down and I dont want to break anything. I tried looking at the manual and going to the website. I did searches for how to lower the screen section down the slot for raising and lowering, but no information can be found other than a drawing indicating that it can be lowered and tilted. It tilts well but remains at the top of the vertical post it is attached to. Help.

> 3 dayI have a three monitor setup and wanted to add a fourth monitor, my significant other insisted I couldnt do that, but did say I could replace one of my monitors (one was only 19 the other is 21, but flickering a bit) so I decided to replace the 19 with this one. Great decision, its the primary monitor now, the curve feature is great for the center monitor, the price was great, Ive had only one minor issue and that is my system puts that monitor to sleep a few seconds earlier than the others, and wakes it up slower than the others. I havent deep dived into the cause or reason for that yet, and its not a big deal, -- more than likely it has to do with whichever connections Im using to the video card. But when I replace the 21 this monitor is probably going to be the one to replace it also.
