Review on Experience Stunning Clarity with Philips 276E8VJSB 3840X2160 UltraNarrow DisplayPort Monitor: Tilt Adjustment, Flicker-Free, and Blue Light Filter Features Included by Robert Biletnikoff

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good monitor for the price but built to be annoying.

The monitor is nice and bright. It's also quite traceable. Even if you're going from higher than Full HD to 4K, you'll love the clarity — at least once you get used to figuring out how to make fonts bigger. Haven't used all the features yet. If I do, I'll love having two computers connected side-by-side to the same monitor. But hey, a $280 4K monitor is almost a winner. This monitor is bright and beautiful. Of course you'd have to argue whether you'd rather have a 4K TV with terrible AI installed - they're cheaper for larger VESA screens. It's pretty stylish with its non-VESA base. However, this is its main problem. It's designed so that you buy this one and later, when you really want to install it, buy another. VESA is the mounting standard that manufacturers typically use when they want their monitors to sell well in the corporate or home market. There doesn't seem to be any lag in how well images are rendered. There is no blurring or ghosting for general office work or simple gaming. I haven't tried real games that require a different GPU than what Intel is doing on the CPU. There is a neat feature that warns the user that screen burn-in may occur if the same image is viewed for a long period of time. Actually it's 30 minutes. This warning is issued almost immediately when a video mode that could cause burn-in is detected. It's like a disembodied floating text box. I've used it with both Mac OS X and Pop!_OS. The image shows the Bomber game played on Pop!_OS. If you're using a Gnome-based UI, I suggest you use Backslide with just a five-minute wallpaper change to avoid burn-in. black when there is no user interaction. If you're using a Macbook Pro, or probably any other modern Mac, you'll need an HDMI 2 to Thunderbolt converter. There's a lot of it. So if you don't like the converter, you probably won't need this monitor. If you're about six feet tall, you'll need something to elevate your monitor so it stays in one position. Because you will not like a non-adjustable monitor mount. At the time of writing this review, I've been using the monitor for around 13 hours. Most of them are engaged in text work. I bought it just before the next wave of China's tariff trade war and when it was first offered on Revain. Below are the features I haven't tried yet: 1.) LowBlue2.) MultiView3.) DisplayPort4.) More than one HDMI
