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.

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.

Cable management reduces cable clutter for a neat workspace

Cable management is an intimate design that maintains a tidy workspace by organising the cables and wires required for the operation of a display device.

SmartContrast for rich black details

SmartContrast is a Philips technology that analyses the contents you are displaying, automatically adjusting colours and controlling backlight intensity to dynamically enhance contrast for the best digital images and videos or when playing games where dark hues are displayed. When Economy mode is selected, contrast is adjusted and backlighting fine-tuned for just-right display of everyday office applications and lower power consumption.

    Habe mir diesen Bildschirm gekauft, da mein alter den Geist aufgegeben hat. An meinem 12 Jahre alten PC macht er richtig was her. Ich nutze ihn berwiegend fr Office und Bildbearbeitung.
    Wenn ich dann Mal Anno spiele, ist es ein Traum auf dem riesigen HD Bild.
    Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersIt’s so good to be able to position my windows out in a more natural spread, rather than having two full screen monitors and one with some diagnostics tools open.

    Perfect for my Dyspraxic, ADHD brain.

    Also great when investigating large timelines.

    Note: the Philips utility seems a bit pointless as the fancy zones feature is actually just the Microsoft Powertoys utility, which is official and available for free.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThe stand is well built with height adjust and swivel, no rotation which is fine. The panel itself is excellent for a range of different tasks, like coding and design work. It is also good for multimedia with the built in speakers which perform decently enough, certainly better than the laptop driving it. Cannot say for gaming, but the aspect ratio seems unlikely to be ideal.

    This monitor screen is rather impressive providing a great deal of screen space to work with versions windows side by side. It is my first time using an ultra wide moving from a duel screen setup I have to say it does a great job in providing the space in a flexible way as you can put windows side by side or just extend one and get a wider view which is great. Also the hub in this is truly fantastic as I can plug in everything into the monitor and just use one usb-c cable to my laptop to provide everything. It works seamlessly with my Mac, I believe although expensive it is worth it if you do need additional screen space and a usb-c hub

    – great amount of screen for the price

    – good quality and definitely does not feel cheap or flimsy.

    Dislikes:
    – could be a brighter

    – could perform better for entertainment, screen doesn’t have that amazing “pop”

    Nice screen but the sound is a bit weak .To change de brightness or other settins can only be done by an application ( no buttons on the screen ).
    i did not try the second HDMI port
    Happy with that considering the lower price

    Monitor acquistato per utilizzo lavorativo, non so valutare la resa gaming.
    Ottimo rapporto qualit prezzo per quanto riguarda il video. PBP e PIP ok. Ingressi HDMI e DP, non ha USB-C n USB hub. E’ dotato di regolazione in altezza ma anche esteso al massimo il bordo inferiore a soli 13 cm dalla scrivania. Per utilizzarlo con di fronte un laptop va sollevato con uno spessore.
    Audio assolutamente inutile, di molto inferiore a quello di una pessima radiolina. Ho dovuto acquistare a parte una piccola soundbar Sony HT-200. Complessivamente soddisfatto dell’acquisto considerato il costo.

    Lo uso per lavorare ed meraviglioso. La qualit delle immagini ottima ed il formato 21:9 una volta provato non ne potrete pi fare a meno. Io lo uso per lavorare e nel tempo libero per il foto ritocchi

    Pet la qualita/prezzo Comunque l’ottimo prodotto:

    * l’ho preso per elaborare le foto e i video, ed comodissimo per la timeline e qualit dei colori e angoli dai quali si pu vederlo (Insomma come tutti ips).

    * La risoluzione pi che decente (2k)

    * mi piaciuto molto il supporto che ha poca superficie per accumulare polvere ma allo stesso momento regge perfettamente lo schermo.

    * il meccanismo del inclinazione e sollevamento/abbassamento funziona benissimo ed comodissimo per i diversi scenari di utilizzo.

    * Gaming ci da una immersione pi piacevole per il fatto che lo schermo pi lungo. L’immersione dei schermi 21:9 pi piacevole rispetto ai 16:9 anche con risoluzione e i polici pi grandi.
    (Mi raccomando nei impostazioni della vostra scheda video impostate il massimo di MHz disponibile cio 75)

    Ho registrato la garanzia sul sito ufficiale allegando la ricevuta che si scarica dal amazon.

    L’unica pecca di questo monitor sono i artifacti ai lati sullo schermo completamente nero (c’ glielo uguali come gli altri utenti)

    L’opinione finale:
    Lo Consiglio a chi serve principalmente per il lavoro e magari ogni tanto per il gaming (non processionale, per il fatto che ha pochi mhz)

    Per una settimana Sono stato a fare delle ricerche e per il momento (03/01/2022) e il miglior schermo nella sua fascia del prezzo.

    I’m not buying to play games, but – For me to say is this is a great monitor to use for working from home. USB-C connection great combination charging and picture in one cable for your laptop. And HDMI is an extra bonus connection to your PC or Mac mini. However, small issue with connection usb-c cable (saying: pc not charging?) but it does, just annoying! Overall, 4 stars from me as is great monitor to work.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great morning

    Ich spiele ab und zu auf meinem PC Spiele wie Age of Empires, Tomb Raider oder Assassins Creed. Dabei gibt es keinerlei Probleme. Bei Office Anwendungen ebenfalls nicht. Die Darstellung ist einwandfrei und man hat eine riesige Arbeitsflche. Ich bereue den Kauf auf keinen Fall.

    Great for the money. When the screen is displaying black there is baclight bleed on tbe corners but not too bad. Colors seem fine. I would recommend a curved model though.

    Der Bildschirm wurde gut verpackt und in dem angegebenen Zeitraum geliefert. Er hat keine Produktmngel und Bildqualitt ist sehr gut. Fr das Gaming ist er gut geeignet, nur die Helligkeit knnte besser sein. Die Bedienung ist teilweise selbsterklrend.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersAcquistato su Amazon anche se da altri fornitori si pu trovare a meno perch coi monitor, anche per marche pi blasonate, c’ sempre la “lotteria del pannello”, ovvero abbastanza frequente incappare in pannelli con pixel o illuminazione difettati e con Amazon hai il vantaggio di fartelo sostituire al volo. Comunque per me tutto bene alla prima consegna. Uso il monitor 20% uso generale e 80% gaming e sono pi che soddisfatto dell’acquisto. Se non siete un geek malato di tecnologia e non avete soldi da buttare non fatevi intortare con la storia che un monitor gaming deve supportare almeno i 144hz o non adeguato. 144hz significa che per sfruttarli tutti dovete avere una scheda grafica che produce almeno 144 FPS. Una scheda del genere costa parecchio salata, specialmente di questi tempi, e un monitor IPS da 144hz con questa risoluzione costa tre volte questo. Se come me avete una scheda grafica che fa mediamente 60/80 FPS questo monitor da 75hz per il gaming perfetto. Il fatto che non sia curvo contribuisce ad abbassarne il prezzo ma per me non una mancanza, io lo preferisco piatto ma questo soggettivo. Consigliato.
    P.S.: i geek ti diranno che non capisco niente, che il 144hz ti fa vincere nei giochi competitivi online perch vedi l’avversario 10 millisecondi prima, rispondo che conta di pi la latenza di rete perch se guadagni 10 ms ma poi ne perdi 40 ms di ping ti asfaltano comunque.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI use this monitor with a few different MacBooks and it generally speaking “just works”. It looks great, it sounds OK (the sound is good but not great), it’s easy to use, it’s replaced two monitors on my desk with one and I feel like I’ve got more space.

    I have 2 minor niggles and one of them might be MacOS related… sometimes the USB-C hub doesn’t seem to work and the Mac doesn’t recognise the USB devices connected to the monitor. Everything else is fine, just the USB devices. Have to unplug and plug in again for them to work. A minor niggle.

    The second is that there is no USB-C out from the monitor. On a MacBook Pro with 4x USB-C ports this isn’t an issue as you can just keep on using the 3 free on the MBP. On a MacBook with 1x USB-C port and various USB-C accessories, this is a nuisance. I can’t have my external HDD plugged in at the same time as the monitor without finding a USB-A -> USB-C converter and plugging it into the monitor. Stupid. There’s no excuse for not having at least one USB-C output.

    Overall I like it a lot and wouldn’t give it up now I’ve been using it a few weeks.

    Ho acquistato questo monitor per lo smartworking e devo dire che per l’uso office eccezionale.
    La larghezza considerevole consente di affiancare, ad esempio: un foglio di word ed una pagina web per fare copia incolla tra i vari gestionali.
    Le casse incorporate non hanno un bel suono e nemmeno potente, ma per i meeting ed il voip uso le cuffie usb.
    Collegato tramite HDMI al portatile, peccato che la sua scheda grafica non sia in grado di gestire la risoluzione piena.
    La scrivania ad angolo mi consente di posizionarlo ad una distanza di circa 70 cm dal viso e lo trovo estremamente confortevole.
    Acquistato da Amazon Warehouse con un considerevole risparmio, arrivato praticamente nuovo, solo l’imballo rovinato.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersI’ve been using a 34″ Ultrawide for the last 6 years and have loved it, but I’ve been using it in combination with an extra 1080p monitor as I felt often that there wasn’t quite enough real estate.

    I’m an app developer who often needs three windows open, a coding window, a reference window, and an emulator and this monitor is so impressive I just wish I’d have done it sooner.

    I will say, the panel quality isn’t quite as high as my previous Dell, but after an hour or so, I really can’t tell the difference, I’ve gotten used to it, and for the price, it’s well worth it, especially when you combine it with the fact that you can have a one-cable solution into a compatible device thereby bypassing the need for a 200+ Thunderbolt hub.

    Camera is awful compared to a 30 Aukey camera, but it is definitely passable.

    I managed to pick this up via Amazon Warehhouse deals to save a further ~100, but even at the full price I wouldn’t hesitate

    4.0 out of 5 stars What a product, for the money it's so worth i

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI’m very happy with this monitor. The size, picture and colour are all fine for my use, which is office not gaming.
    I have down sized to it from a full 4K monitor, which proved just too big to work with, and since I ran the 4K at 125% and can run this 3440×1440 at 100% I haven’t lost must screen height.

    My one gripe is that it came with incorrect power cables for the UK. It came with a UK plug/C13/kettle lead, but that is not what the monitor uses. It has a small power pack like laptops, and that requires a three circle ‘clover-leaf-connector. That cable was supplied, but with a northern european 2 pin plug.

    Amazon has refunded me the cost of a UK to European converter plug which I will use.

    Thankfully the outgoing 4K monitor had the required UK/clover-leaf, so at least I was able to power up the monitor until the converter plug arrives!

    Golden Review Award: 12 From Our UsersIf this monitor had 90hz or usb hub, It would have been 5 star.

    The good:
    – For 300-325 you can’t go wrong.
    – I had no issues with the monitor at all, no ips glow or light bleeding.
    – Picture is clear and sharp.
    – Colour is good out of the box, but I recommend calibrating it to get the best colour accuracy
    – At this price, 75hz it’s great.
    – Small edges makes it looks almost borderless.

    The bad:
    – No connections for peripherals.
    – The back of the monitor has a weird design:
    The VESA mount is deep inside the monitor, so I had to install an extender as my mount would not fit inside.
    The mount is also quite low compared with other monitors, this should be in the centre, and it can be annoying, you might have to adjust your wall mount. Also, the wall mount might become visible due to the monitor mount being so low.
    If you’re planing on installing LED’s behind this, good luck, the monitor has very weird shapes on the sides, so I had to come up with a “mod”, see pictures.

    At this price, there's mot much to complain about...

    Golden Review Award: 18 From Our UsersQuesto monitor perfetto in tutto, vi spiego perch per il suo prezzo (soprattutto se trovato in offerta) ottimo:

    – Base elegante, stabile e non ingombrante
    – Il bordo piccolo, sembra quasi borderless
    – Luminosit ottima.
    – Colori vivi e definiti (il pannello IPS a differenza dei monitor curvi).
    – Frequenza di aggiornamento 75hz (ottima per gaming e immagini fluide)
    – Altezza regolabile, Angolazione regolabile.

    Non ho riscontrato alcuna nota negativa da poter far presente.

    Ovviamente questi sono pannelli prodotti in massa, le recensioni negative sono basate su modelli difettosi, non significa che il monitor non un buon prodotto, perch da illusi chiedere di pi da un monitor di questo range e prezzo.

    Un mi piace se sono stato d’aiuto?

    Monitor 2k Ultrawide fantastico.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersProdukt kommt sehr gut verpackt und von Amazon, wie gewohnt, pnktlich geliefert an. Frame ist aus Plastik, strt mich aber nicht gro. Steht stabil auf dem Standfu.
    + Bildqualitt, 21:9 mit QHD sieht einfach genial aus
    Achtung manche werden hier ein Displayport Kabel brauchen, es liegt eins bei aber ich bentigte ein Displayport Mini
    + sehr gute Farben (120% srgb) gerade ich bentige gute Farben fr die Bildbearbeitung via Lightroom
    + konnte bei meinem Model kaum IPS glowing /backlight bleeding feststellen (klar sollte sein das ein wenig glowing/bleeding immer dazu gehrt)
    + Preis, dieser ist unschlagbar

    – das Men ist ein wenig hakelig zu bedienen, liegt auch keine Fernbedienung dabei aber im Men bin ich nach der richtigen Einstellung eh kaum unterwegs.
    – fr hardcore Gamer jetzt vielleicht nicht optimal geeignet (75hz) fr gelegentliche Gamer sollte dies aber ausreichen

    In allem bin ich bisher sehr zufrieden und von der Bildqualitt wirklich begeistert.
    Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersPer essere un monitor da 360 la qualit davvero ottima. Io ho acquistato un warehouse deals a 310 che veniva indicato “ottime condizioni” ma al mio arrivo ho notato un pixel bruciato (che non era menzionato nella descrizione). Ho contattato amazon per effettuare la riparazione ma, invece di sistemarlo, mi hanno proposto il 15% di sconto di rimborso. Alla fine della fiera l’ho pagato 260. Da questo punto di vista amazon imbattibile, servizo clienti incredibile.

    Venendo al monitor un buon IPS, ottimo design, molto lineare. Non spicca per particolari funzioni adatte al gaming, tant’ che arriva “solo” a 75hz. Gli angoli di visuale sono ottimi, ghosting pari a 0 e backlight bleeding appena accennato in un angolo. Personalmente lo uso per gaming e posso garantire che giocare in UWQHD fantastico, l’immersivit assoluta. Lo consiglio vivamente se si vuole entrare nel mondo dei 21:9 a risoluzione 3440×1440 senza spendere parecchi soldi e poter godere di un buon IPS.

    Il prodotto si presenta esteticamente molto bello: linea molto squadrata e moderna con bordi molto ridotti.
    La qualit video ottima.
    4 stelle perch:
    – audio accettabile ma limitato
    – manca SW su qualsiasi piattaforma per la gestione dei paramtetri del monitor, pertanto occorre utilizzare il bottoncino posto posteriormente

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAs a software developer this monitor saves me so many micro stresses every day, it just makes working easier. No more spanning windows over 2 monitors and the extra pixels over a 2 x 24 inch monitors helps a lot. I find I use it like 2 x 27 inch, having just 2 large windows using the Windows-key left/right arrow, to position the windows. That works for me. I use it connected to a lap-top and a desktop. The kvm is a little disappointing as it’s slow and fiddly to change. I have the HP Elitebook connected via the USB3 and to my surprise it drove the monitor at the full 5120 x 1440 without issue. When using the USB-up from my desktop, I had some issues depending on which usb port I used. The screen kept turning off completely, which drove me nuts! I finally realised that the issue was which USB port I had the usb-up cable plugged into on my box. After trying a few different slots, it solved the problem, I don’t think it was anything to do with the screen.
    Very happy with it. I don’t play computer games so I can’t comment on that. Recommended!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersPannello perfetto, colori ottimi e molto fedeli. La base veramente solida e la regolazione in altezza funziona benissimo. I neri sono abbastanza buoni e ha pochissimo effetto backlight bleeding, notevole per essere un ips. I 75hz vanno benissimo se non si dei giocatori accaniti, un ottimo monitor per la produttivit. L’ unica pecca nell’attacco Vesa, i fori sono posizionati nell’incasso dello stand quindi non tutti i supporti riescono ad entrarci. Per il resto non posso che essere soddisfatto. Aggiungo solo che sarebbe stato carino pagarlo non pi del prezzo di listino

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersGood quality build, without a doubt. And like most things Philips does, it’s practical and functional. The USB 3.0 hub on the left side with a powered port come in handy to get rid of cable spaghetti. Shame it’s not a fast charging usb port. Otherwise, it’s a great productivity screen. 100Hz also make it slightly easy on the eyes, and you can game on it too. I read how the speakers were good, but they’re not. Really.

    My biggest gripe is the slight shimmer in the bottom-right corner that remains for a few minutes after you switch on the device. Quite distracting and I’m always thinking I’ll have to return the panel. An additional gripe is the fact that, despite advertised, mine did not come with a USB 3.0 A-male to B-male cable. I just couldn’t be bothered after setting it up so I attached a USB 2.0 A-to-B I had lying around, since the purpose was to connect keyboard, mouse.

    All in all it’s the most affordable and quality 3440×1440 monitor on the market.

    Golden Review Award: 13 From Our UsersOrdered this for my home office. Love that it’s a big, crisp display that allows me to have 3 or 4 windows open simultaneously without being too small to read.
    I’m not a gamer so cannot speak to its use for that, or for photography or video editing, but for office use it’s great.
    Helpful that it works as a USB C dock too so just one cable allows me to power my work laptop as well as get picture and audio out.
    The stand is decent; solid and not to obtrusive. I might buy a monitor arm just for neatness…
    Included are a USB C, DisplayPort, and HDMI cables so no need to buy extra bits.
    The one major failing is that the monitor comes with a European power plug, not a UK one!
    Fortunately I had a suitable adaptor in the house, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to use the display when it arrived! Not sure if this is a one off or the norm.
