GREAT FOR 4K NVR SECURITY CAMERA

The hardest part about buying it was realizing that I only need it for a 4K NVR security camera. Basically, if you want to get crisp images and really take advantage of the 4K capabilities of your home security cameras, a 4K monitor is the way to go. Of course I could send a signal to one of my TVs at home, but I needed a dedicated screen solely for the NVR. I could have bought a 4K 55 inch TV from a big store nearby but where I needed to install it I didn't have much space and wanted it hidden

Very good picture at a fair price

It replaced an old 24" 1080P monitor. The picture is much better now and a bit bigger so I can use split screen apps. I'm not a gamer just a serious engineer who needs an accurate display for professional work. Philips makes it!

Great monitor at a low price

This Philips monitor delivers outstanding clarity and colour. It was easy to set up as a second monitor and connect right away.

Unbeatable value in my opinion

Crystal clear 4K image, VESA mount, minimal bezel. Just buy it, unbeatable for the price. I use it for work but it works just as well with Flight Sim 20.

Not Recommended: Serious quality control issues.

Conclusion: I really wanted to love this monitor. Unfortunately after about a week I started having flickering vertical lines on the right side of the screen. I went through the painless process of replacing the Revain hoping that this was a one-time issue, but now the problem is made worse by replacing the screen as well. Some research suggests this is a fairly common issue with this screen. I cannot recommend this product, even for the price. I also need to return this screen and try a…

The best beat on the dollar

So far I am very satisfied with the resolution quality. I used to have an old LG 4K model and this one is a step up. Highly recommended.

Very helpful for my work

I spend a lot of time at my desk. Now I can sit back in my chair and watch everything on one screen. My throat is much happier.

  • The monitor only works in black and white mode.

Has worked well for several months. Now I have a solid line on the screen.

The 60Hz display is fine for gaming, but nothing special. 4k resolution, that's good. The speakers aren't great, nothing special, but not too terrible either. Vesa mountable is a plus. But after 5 months of average use, a solid vertical line appears on the screen on the left side of the screen. Line width of one or two pixels. Will update the review if the promised guarantee really works.
