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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not bad, but not great either.

I knew I was on a tight screen budget so I fully expected this monitor to have some issues and to be honest the two things I found most annoying were the "color" modes and the Speaker. The coloring on this monitor (at least the one I have) was more prone to bleeding red than anything else. If you have an orange or fiery background, it looks terrible. I took a simple closeup of the fire and you really can't tell if something is orange because the red just completely covers it up. You'll have to fiddle with the settings a bit to at least cool it down to a tolerable level. I only found 1 profile out of all the preassigned profiles that is tolerable. So if you are good with colors I would stay away from this one. It's fine if you're a casual gamer or more interested in browsing/streaming without accurate colors. However, the screen size and the fact that it's curved is really nice, and even at 1080p the screen looks good to me. .As for speakers; I'm glad I use headphones because they just sound awful. It's like playing the sound of an old Nokia clamshell phone through the speaker. It's metallic, it sounds metallic, and I don't like hearing it. Overall you get what you pay for.
