Review on Enhanced Philips 279P1 Power Saving PowerSensor Computer Monitor: 3840X2160P, Accurate Colors, 10-Bit Panel - Ultimate HD Experience! by Jeff Basara

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best bang for the buck!

The Phillips aesthetic is very sleek, modern and minimalist. With "1440p" and QHD resolution, the picture quality is pin-sharp for both text and video. The large, curved screen helps me organize my desktop for work - multiple browser windows on the right - one for streaming videos, another for YouTube, and a third for finding reference materials. On the left I open the code editor, test and documentation windows. It's like working on two monitors, saving space and no eye strain. Setup Tips: Easy to setup HDMI connection to laptop and high quality 3-pin power cable to power on monitor. The monitor comes with VGA and audio in/out cables. No audio cables are required for audio playback. With the joystick on the back (at the bottom of the screen) you can adjust all the sounds and display functions such as volume, display brightness, contrast, colors. There are also several preset levels. When the laptop power supply is connected to the laptop and its lid is closed, the display on the monitor becomes the main display. Make sure you connect a keyboard and mouse to your laptop before making the monitor your primary display. My MacBook Pro, Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse work very well with it. My husband wanted one too when I bought one :) Cons: I noticed a dead pixel when trying to switch to 75fps and the standard 60 to 75 conversion failed.
