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

I am glad I took back my 2 Samsung monitors to get this Philips one. Great price. The picture quality is much better and your get sound.

I ordered two of these monitors for use primarily for business use and software engineering. Im staring at text all day, basically. Most of the applications I use are dark gray scale themes, but Im not particularly picky on color or anything like that. With these monitors, I immediately noticed a glow around the edges on both monitors, but the left monitor was particularly bad (first couple of pictures). Perhaps many people wouldnt be too bothered by it if you typically run with light colors, but I stare at these monitors all day. The pictures unfortunately dont do it justice because I think the camera on my phone is compensating for it. I was willing to tolerate the right monitors glow if I could get a replacement for the left one that was better. They were so different that it was quite distracting, them being right next to one another. The first RMA replacement for the left monitor had a horrible light frame around the outside, almost like it was delaminating in some way, and visually worse than the original monitor (as you can see in the last two pictures). I put in yet another RMA and the second replacement was just as bad as the first replacement. All in all, I got one quite mediocre and three terrible monitors. Im mystified at how anyone managed to receive one of these that was actually a good monitor. Ive had various LCD panels over the years, and while Ive seen ghosting and motion blur, Ive never seen anything where the edges of the screen were soo poor. My suspicion is that these curved monitors have these kinds of issues, but who knows. I returned both of the monitors (and the RMAs) and got a couple Dell 4K flat IPS monitors that I literally just plugged in and Im writing this on. While Im sure graphics designers will not be happy with uniform coloring across the panel, these Dell monitors will do quite nicely for what I need. I reference these new monitors only to emphasize that Im not particularly picky and was willing to tolerate some level of poor quality. These monitors were just really that bad. There is one silver lining in that their tech support was actually pretty good. I got the replacements quite quickly once they were satisfied via my pictures that the monitors were sufficiently bad, and the return process was quite painless. I had to reassure them that the pictures I sent of the first replacement were actually of the replacement and not the original RMA, because it was nearly the same level of bad (frame around the outside and all). If youre willing to play monitor roulette, the turn around is quick enough that you could return them until you manage to get one you find acceptable.

I searched long and hard for a new monitor, primarily in the 27 range. However, this 32 one caught my eye because of the attractive mix of 4K resolution, 60 hz refresh, an IPS panel and (most importantly) the price. I dont do too many first person shooters, so the fastest response time isnt critical to me. The screen looks great, the curved surface really does seem to make a difference. That 4K resolution makes everything look so sharp and clear. The only down side is that any low-resolution web images show every flaw. Its very bright, maybe TOO bright. Youll want to turn down the default setting. It has several settings for tweaking the screen, such as low-blue mode, which I have not used. I noticed a little bit of smearing when I scroll web pages, but its not too bad. The on-screen menus are well laid out and the control buttons work well, not like another monitor I have where you really have to push hard on them, then they give you 2 or 3 jumps and you overshoot your intended setting. There is a shortcut on one of the buttons to directly control the speaker volume, so you dont have to dig through the entire menu just to do that. I tried using the built-in speakers for my front-center channel, but they sound pretty bad. Its nice and stable on the base and the styling looks good. All-in-all a great monitor that I hope to use for many years.

Didnt know if Id love a curved screen but I find it easy on the eyes. I do feel the on/off button should be on the front of the screen instead of under it. It doesnt automatically turn off when you turn the computer off; however, it does go into a sleep mode. They could have given it higher volume and better quality sound but I bought this monitor for its screen size and quality of picture which I have zero complaints.

color and brightness are ok for this price range. usb ports are a plus. screen started going dark intermittently after 2months. went out completely with horizontal lines after 4 months. get the amazon warranty so you dont have to deal with manufacturer.

I have bought four of these monitors so far. One my wife uses for casual computer use and for her real estate business. The other three I use for writing code (for my job) and also for casual gaming. They have all performed remarkably and are nice and big and bright and have a perfect curve to them. The only difficult part I have experienced is it can be hard to find a triple monitor stand/mount big enough to fit them, the one I have which does work just barely fits these large 32 screens and doesnt make as good of use of the curve as it could, but thats not an issue with these screens. Its nice that they support both HDMI and Displayport. I dont think you can find a better 4k curved monitor for the price anywhere.

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.

The image quality of this monitor is stunning, and it is the most cost effective 32 4K curved monitor on the market, with only $300. The speakers work fine for regular use. The input will automatically default to the one with signals. But if you simultaneous has too inputs, such as a desktop and a laptop, switching between the two requires several clicks of buttons below the monitor. The desk top control app does not allow you to choose input. Overall, it is a great monitor.

Its a great looking screen with a good feature set and good specs for the price. I really like the buttons and menus as they make it super easy to change settings, unlike many monitors these days. There are really only two things that prevented me from giving 5 stars: First, PBP/PIP feature only works with certain combinations of connections. Unfortunately, it does not work with HDMI on one device and USB-C on the other. So for my use case with a Mac Mini (HDMI) and Macbook Pro (USB-C), Im not able to do PBP/PIP. I ordered a USB-C to DisplayPort for the Mac Mini to see if this fixes the issue as USB-C/DP is one of the combinations that the manual says works. Second, the cable management is subpar. As you can see from the pictures on the item listing, its just a couple of tabs on the back of the monitor stand. The cables do not go through/hide in the monitor stand as they do with many other monitors on the market. The power cable specifically shows without using something else to hold it up (see photo) The PBP/PIP issue may be a deal breaker for me as I specifically bought this monitor over others for this function, but I can live with the cable management. Update: The USB-C to DisplayPort and USB-C combination worked for PIP/PBP. Using this monitor in combination with Logitech mouse/keyboard with flow technology allows me to very easily work with both computers side by side & switch peripherals easily.
