Pros and cons

According to our monitor expert

  • With the 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, this monitor is suitable for competitive gaming at a high level.
  • Thanks to the curved screen, you can enjoy an immersive gaming experience.
  • Without a monitor arm, you can't adjust the monitor in height to achieve an ergonomic sitting position.
  • The maximum refresh rate via HDMI is 144Hz, so use DisplayPort for the maximum refresh rate of 165Hz.

Cool blue fake discount

I personally think it's a good screen. But just a pity that cool blue you back to your p..je.
So to speak black friday at the price that it is for sale today without a discount.
Then you think you're getting a bargain, but with the false advertising of first setting the price higher, and then giving a discount.

Beautiful image for a good price

  • beautiful image
  • Very robust foot + stand
  • Great for gaming and office work
  • No center point when adjusting the stand

I have doubted about various monitors. I wanted to connect both an M1 Mac Mini and a gaming PC to it. For the latter, I really wanted a high refresh rate screen. In the end I opted for this Philips. I have to say I am very impressed. The foot + stand (anthracite to almost black) is super robust: it looks like cast iron. That is quite different from the plastic base of my somewhat older LG monitor. Furthermore, the monitor can be rotated and tilted in all possible directions. It is a pity that there is no clear center, so that can be a bit of a mess. I also find the OSD not really useful, the control button is a bit far away and it feels a bit fragile.

The image is great. No obvious shortcomings seen so far. The HDR demo that I saw was nowhere near what I am used to from my LG OLED TV, but I certainly did not expect that. Important tip for an M1 Mac: use a UCB-C => Displayport cable (high refresh, e.g. 8K) to get all possible resolutions and refresh rates.

I think the only thing that is really bad about the monitor is the sound from the speakers. Well, that's not much different with my LG. For a bit of decent sound you really just need a pair of headphones or a separate speaker (set). But hey, better a functional speaker than nothing at all.

All in all I am very happy with my purchase: for the money it is a very good and sleek monitor.

A good monitor for a decent price

  • Matte screen
  • Easy to tilt
  • Good value for money
  • Power off button

I have been using this monitor for a week. I was very hesitant between 1080p and 1440p (QHD)
In the end I opted for 1440p and I don't regret it. If you want a 27-inch monitor for gaming, I recommend at least 1440p, because the PPI (pixels per inch) is otherwise too low.
I mainly play first person shooters on a PS5, and this monitor is good enough for that. A 4K screen is a lot more expensive and a PS5 doesn't support true 4K, so it's superfluous. Together with the response time of 1ms and 144Hz (I use 120Hz during gaming), the image is beautifully smooth. The only downside is the off button, which is quite high at the back of the screen and could have been more at the bottom. Furthermore, the screen is not adjustable in height, but I knew that in advance and it is not a big problem.
In short: if you are looking for a good game monitor for not too much money, this is definitely recommended.
