Philips 325E1C- 32 inch QHD Curved Monitor, 75Hz, 4ms, VA
Philips 325E1C- 32 inch QHD Curved Monitor, 75Hz, 4ms, VA, AMD FreeSync, Flicker Free, Smart Image (2560 x 1440, 250 cd/m², HDMI 1.4/VGA/.DP 1.2)
Less eye fatigue with Flicker-Free technology
Due to the way brightness is controlled on LED-backlit screens, some users experience flicker on their screen which causes eye fatigue. Philips Flicker-Free technology applies a new solution to regulate brightness and reduce flicker for more comfortable viewing.
Curved display design for a more immersive experience
Desktop monitors offer a personal user experience, which suits a curved design very well. The curved screen provides a pleasant yet subtle immersion effect, which focuses on you at the centre of your desk.
LowBlue Mode for easy-on-the-eyes productivity
Studies have shown that just as ultra-violet rays can cause eye damage, shortwave-length blue light rays from LED displays can cause eye damage and affect vision over time. Developed for wellbeing, the Philips LowBlue Mode setting uses a smart software technology to reduce harmful shortwave blue light.

My previous Acer 27″ 1080p monitor was great for what I wanted it for, mostly gaming and video, but I wanted to upgrade. I wanted a larger, curved screen and a much higher resolution. After much research I found that this monitor would suit my needs perfectly and I was right.
The higher resolution is beautiful and the colors are perfect. This monitor has a refresh rate of 75hz which is ideal for most games. For about 30-40 euros more I could have gotten a similar monitor with a refresh rate of 144hz but I think this one is fine and looks amazing.
To top things off the monitor arrived much sooner than I expected and in perfect condition.
Good quality monitor, as advertised. Bought mostly for day-to-day use with my desktop, so nice to have some basic built-in speakers.
Very good sharp picture. I purchased this monitor to connect to an Network Video Recorder. I have four IP CCTV cameras showing on it with absolutely perfect pictures. I purchased a second monitor to connect to a PTZ camera again with a perfect picture . Definitely recommend this monitor.
I’m so glad I got this screen – super easy to put together and the size makes it really easy on the eyes. Adjusting the brightness and contrast can get the perfect viewing for sunny days. The curved screen is really lovely and perfect for my home working set up
This is fab. Big but fab. Used as a second screen and big enough to have a couple of docs open at a decent size together. Very easy to set up, def recommend.
The wide screen is great for having two windows side by side and especially good for applications such as looking a family trees, where the width allows you to see more. The picture quality is good, I love this monitor.
Great monitors but dont expect IPS performance. I quickly got used to the look of them and the curved layout is just wonderful for reducing eyestrain and making long sessions a pleasure. I do graphic design, print, CAD and general computing and find them good for all.
But the image itself was really good, so I’ve ordered another one (new this time).
I waited 5 weeks for this to arrive. Well worth the wait. There isn’t a lot of curve monitor that has internal speakers. Only minor complaint is that it is not height adjustable.
Don’t play games so can put any stars for gaming
This is a great screen – after nine months of use, I cannot rate it highly enough. Although it is not 4K, the lower quality is not really that noticeable unless you are right up against the screen. The curve is slightly strange when you first use the screen as the edges and corners are not quite where you were expecting them to be, however once you are used to it this works well, particularly if you have limited desk space. The only snag was the screen arrived with a European rather than a UK plug, though Amazon customer service quickly rectified this by allowing me to purchase an adapter and refunding me the cost.
Brilliant monitor, the colours are bright and vibrant and easy to adjust if needed, although mine was perfectly set up from the start.
Very easy to use, I just plugged mine into a laptop and used as an additional screen which was very easy to set up and use.
The curve of the monitor is great too allowing you to see the screen easily from most angles.
It came with a European plug which wasn’t ideal but I got sent an adapter free of charge.
Seller was very prompt on delivery and other communications hence rated 5. Product resolution could be better and not great for gaming. My one came broken during delivery and could not check the overall quality.
Pictures it’s bright and clear.
For office use it’s magnificent.
For gaming it’s enough for play 1080p in 60hz.
I have tried with games campaign and multiplayer and did his job very good.
However not a monitor for professional gamers.
The speaker included are so comfortable.
Good value for money.
Setting up was easy, it just worked out of the box and I was able to get it to the highest resolution possible. I find the picture is clear, the colours are fine and there’s no bleeding around the edges that some people have complained about.
I’ve never used a curved monitor before, and adapted to it pretty well and find it comfortable to use. I find that thanks to the high resolution I spent less time flicking around with windows and can have all the documents and stuff I need on the screen at the same time.
I don’t play games, so have no comment on how it can handle fast moving graphics. There are no USB ports on this (Not an issue for me) .
I love this. It’s a great size, great value for money. Mine thankfully had no dead pixels and arrived quickly. It is absolutely brilliant – I love the curve (it’s not too much but subtly adds to the experience) and it’s a perfect external monitor.
The only negative is that the ports on the back are in the middle of the screen. This meant that when I was attaching it to a VESA mount that I had to saw of the bottom of the mount in order for the cables to be able to plug into the screen.
I was worried about getting this, but now that I have it I am very happy with it. I needed a new monitor for work since I’ve been using a really old tv, that was very bad for what I was doing. Didn’t support certain resolutions and was very difficult to get it to work with my laptop, also I wanted to mount it on a monitor arm which I couldn’t. Some of the other monitors I was looking at didn’t have good reviews for mounting or didn’t have good menu controls. This ticks all those boxes, it was easy to mount, I used this mount from Amazon – https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07QS9RKBQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1. the picture quality in terms of pixels is stunning, I am having issue configuring the colour and contrast, but I’m sure I will be able to get that perfected with a bit of tweaking. The speakers on this are decent, I think they are great but it was not a critical feature for me but nice to have. The downside for me was I had to wait for a really long time to get this, almost 2 months.
The color is not very vivid compare to my macbook retina screen. However, I am using it for coding, so it works fine. However, I guess the quality is not adequate for gaming purpose. The low blue mode is quite good for reading. For those who haven’t use large screen before, it may takes some time to get used to the curved monitor. Overall, it is a bit expensive for the quality.
Its nice and big and clear – as I going a bit old man blind and Specsavers is shut its good to see what I am typing again.
However I spent an hour or so trying to work out why I couldn’t get any sound coming out of it, reinstalled drivers, restarted PC, bit of googling etc – then spotted another reviewer confirming it didn’t actually have any. would have been nice but no big deal for me. Its cheap enough so I don’t mind splashing another 30 quid on some monitor speakers.
Cracking screen.
The resolution is so high that I have had to use scaling for text to read it comfortably, but that helps keep the overall info high on the screen.
Particularly nice when using several windows to view different design elements at the same time.
I am Using with a 4k KVM , and this allows all three of my dev machines to share the resolution, without apparent quality loss.
Should have bought this ages ago….
Ordered the Philips 272E1CA 27″ Widescreen from Appliances Direct – UK, scheduled for delivery in 3-4 days time but actually arrived the following day ! That’s the way to do customer service – under promise and over deliver!
Very pleased with the monitor, nice design, good picture quality with LowBlue Mode making it easier on the eyes over longer viewing periods. Easy to adjust settings via the buttons on the underside of the screen on the right hands side..
It’s such a great product for the price. I mean the thing is huge! It is perfect for Development work, Graphic Design, etc. I am not a gamer, so I wouldn’t know how great the screen performs. I was in-between Samsung and Philipps and I am glad I purchased Philips. It looks and feels super sturdy. The screen borders are super thin, the picture quality super clear. If you use it with a Mac make sure you “Scale” it 😀
Pros: Curvature is great, reasonably easy controls, good size, good resolution (4K)
Cons: No audio control on Mac, the stand cannot be adjusted in height and its position is very low, there is a bezel at top, left and right about 1cm big, at 4K it works only at 30Hz.
Don’t use HDMI for best picture quality, use displayport.
Overall very pleased with this monitor, great price and easy to set up. No dead pixels arrived super-quick.
I don’t need 4k playback because my computer’s on board graphics limit is 2560 x 1440p at 60hz.
This is perfect for my needs.
I have hooked up a beefier machine that I have available to me and run 4k content through that over the display port and it is fantastic.
For the price, it suits my needs and exceeded expectations.
i havent used the built in speakers so dont know what they are like, but then again does anyone.
would have got another if it hadnt have gone up 50 the next day. but thats me being slow lol.
hope this helps people ou
