PHILIPS 328E1CA 32 Curved Monitor, 4K UHD, 120% SRGB, Adaptive-Sync, Speakers, VESA, 4Yr Advance Replacement Warranty

Very easy to set up. More than excellent for everyday computer use and web browsing. Purchased mainly for flight simulator and the 4k visuals are amazing. Good product for a good price.

Its a good size - though actually to big for my desk (thats on me). Im disappointed with color fidelity. Ive spent hours trying to calibrate the color and make it match the Macbook from which content is shared in my dual-monitor type situation and the colors are just always off. I also dont think it should take 4 hours of straight fiddling to try and get colors the same. Its not like the colors are way off, but Im extending my desktop and it duplicates the desktop background image and the colors are just different. It doesnt look horrible, but they dont match. I understand a Macbook is a better product than a standalone monitor like this, but its still frustrating. After about 9 months of usage it has started to flicker, where for a few minutes at a time it will just change its base color temperature. Its comparable to watching night shift take effect on a phone (and no, its not night-shift on my macbook) but the overall color temp will just sort of be more yellowed and less blue for a few minutes at a time, then itll randomly flicker back. Its visually annoying but not disruptive since all Im doing is emails and other boring work things. If I was gaming Id be furious, but Im just a spreadsheet jockey so its not THAT bad. Overall its fine, it does what I need, but Ill probably be looking to replace this in the next several months if the flicker continues or gets worse, or if the color differences begin to bother me too much.

I 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.

Great picture that’s very true. What I see is what my finished videos look like.

Awesome screen - looks amazing and just works!

I love having one large monitor on my desk instead of the dual screens I had before.

Had to replace a 27 iMac Retina with a laptop and needed a large display. While I didnt expect Retina quality (its not), I was pleasantly surprised given the price with how sharp it is and appreciate the additional horizontal real estate. Dont bother with the built-in speakers, they are terrible, but the USB-C connection is great, connects and charges my M1 Macbook Pro with no issues and found this is the best workaround for capturing extra screen size since Apple failed to allow two displays with their upgrade without investing into expensive hubs. In short, if you want the feel of two monitors, a good picture and a plug and play connection for an M1, this is the best bang for the buck I could find.

I was searching a long time for a monitor that was ultrawide, curved, with USB-C, and PBP. My previous monitor was VA, and I tend to work in a dark room, so I prefer VA for the deeper blacks. I have a laptop I want to hook up to the USB-C port (that can be charged also) and my desktop PC hooked up to the display port. Eventually I stumbled across this one and it checked all the boxes. Im pretty satisfied, and would recommend it. The screen is large and beautiful, with a good curve. I mounted it on the Amazon Basics arm and it looks really great. There is a USB hub, but it is meant for the USB-B connection, not the USB-C so keep that in mind. The hub ports wont switch between inputs - they stay with whichever computer is connected to that USB-B port. I havent used the PBP that much, but it did work when I tried it. The built in speakers are ok, but I hooked up some external speakers to the aux port and they switch between inputs fine. There has been a few times that Windows didnt detect the monitor speakers, but havent seen that issue lately - a reboot usually resolves this. Also, I am able to run my monitor at 100hz also without any problems - I have an AMD RX570 graphics card on my desktop. Overall, at this price this was a great purchase. I was considering other monitors that were in the $700 range with similar features. Some of them had USB input switching (i.e. kvm) but Im ok without that.

Bought a pair of the Phillips 32 Curved Monitors (328E1CA) to replace a Dell 34 Ultrawide. Really liking the extra height of these monitors and the increased resolution. Text is so much sharper. And, 32 is a comfortable size to keep 4k resolution native (no windows scaling). Although I think 34 would be the perfect sweet spot for native 4k. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I could mount two of these on a single Amazon Basics Premium Dual Monitor Stand. This setup works beautifully because of the 1500r curved of these monitors. The extra screen real estate is addictive. Not sure I can go back to a single ultra wide and using two of these. Ive always owned IPS panels, so this VA panel took some getting used to. I love the absence of flicker, but the colors are noticeably different than Im used to. Not terrible, but not great either. I wont have any calibration equipment, so it may be possible to get great colors. But out of the box, Im not sure I would trust this monitor for any work requiring accurate colors. Text is crisp, but I would have preferred a lighter AG coating. Its not the worst AG Ive seen, but in a light controlled room it offers zero benefit and reduces sharpness of the text enough that I notice it. That said, the text sharpness is still a big improvement over the 1440p monitor it replaced. Overall, for the price, I really like these monitors and would REALLY like to see an IPS version of this monitor with the same 1500r curve, no AG and 120Hz.

Sometimes it flickers while my laptop (Thinkpad X1 Extreme 2nd) is sleeping. Probably some issues with Linux drivers.
