Pros and cons

According to our monitor expert
  • You can synchronize your AMD video card with the monitor thanks to FreeSync technology, so you prevent stuttering while gaming.
  • 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.
  • A 34-inch ultrawide monitor takes up a lot of space, so make sure you have a large enough desk.
  • The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S don't support ultrawide settings, so you won't fill the entire monitor screen.

Top screen with a competitive price

  • 165hz
  • Very good image
  • Sturdy stand
  • The button on the back feels a bit fragile

I come from an ultrawide LG at 1080p and it was time for an update. Because this was an IPS screen, I had doubts, looked at many reviews about the advantages and disadvantages of VA versus IPS, and even considered Oled. Oled was not suitable for me because I am not a real gamer, I use the screens more for videos, productivity and producing music.
Absolutely no regrets with my purchase! This screen has a really great picture, I was a bit skeptical about VA, but this was purely due to reviews on sites like Reddit, but I am very surprised.
I bought a 34 inch and a 27 inch and hung them one above the other. The 34 inch is on the supplied stand, which is very handy, you can adjust the height in all directions. The 27 inch hangs on an arm. The foot on this screen cannot be raised or lowered and is less usable, but that is no problem for me.
The 34 inch has speakers, I have not tried these. The 34 inch is connected via Displayport, which allows me to achieve 165hz. Via HDMI I have a nice 144hz on the 27 inch.
I think the screen image is very good. The black is very nice and the colors stand out well. With the Philips app you can easily tune the screens to your own taste, contrast, colors, everything is adjustable within the app (Windows). I see reviews here with, among other things, "cannot be set up properly" or "the screen is too dark", but apparently these reviewers have not yet discovered the app.
You can also change these settings via the button on the back, although this button feels a little less sturdy.

If you have any doubts, definitely try these monitors out, they won't disappoint!

Great monitor for a good price

  • Curved has something about the feeling that the game is around you.
  • Foot is not nice and a bit big. This may be proportionately smaller.

Great monitor. Unfortunately my first monitor was broken, but the 2nd was fine. Plug & Play gaming
