> 3 dayI bought this monitor 8 months ago as an external for my 2021 Macbook Pro M1 16, and although the picture quality was nice, it kept flickering. I had to constantly change the color profile to remedy this, and it would often be a color profile that didnt quite work for me. The screen was also VERY fragile. Last week, I accidentally bumped the screen VERY lightly with the edge of my bluetooth keyboard, and it cracked, rendering the monitor useless. I had no accidental damage protection as far as I know, and it would have cost hundreds to fix, so I decided to sideline it and purchase a new LG 34WN80C-B UltraWide 34” 21:9 Curved WQHD (3440 x 1440) IPS Display, and it has performed flawlessly, ... with NO flickering. I cant recommend this Philips 328E1CA monitor due to the flickering and fragility, among a few other annoyances like the questionable support and UI. Although the picture is nice, Im way happier with my new LG Ultrawide 34.

> 3 dayThe monitor itself was fine and had no real problems with it per se. But their warranty is something else. After it quit working after six months I contacted Philips and they refused to honor their own warranty. They said their warranty does not cover physical damage to the monitor itself. All I did was unplug it and used a new monitor to replace it for a few days and when plugging it back in it did not work. Philips may have won the battle but lost the war since I never will use a Philips product again period. They tried to make me out a liar and I do not appreciate it. I had the monitor six months and have used several of their monitors over my 69 years and the products have been OK. If you buy this product--be forewarned concerning their warranty coverage.

> 3 dayI had two main issues with this monitor: it has audible coil whine at a high pitch no matter the brightness or display setting, as well as the fact that you are limited to USB 2.0 if you want to use USB-C and a high-refresh rate. It had okay colors and is definitely a great price, but I cannot use a display with the two main isssues mentioned above.

> 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.
