Review on Upgrade Your Display with Philips 278E1A Frameless Monitor: 4K Resolution, Flicker-Free, Built-In Speakers, Blue Light Filter, HDMI Connectivity, LED Flat Screen by Jerardo Alston

This would easily have been a 5 star rating if I hadn't had a dead pixel on my device. Price-wise, quality assurance isn't as good as monitors costing over $1,000, meaning every second one could end up with a few dead or stuck pixels. Philips' pixel policy allows for a certain number of pixel defects. The colors are accurate and good enough for my amateur photography and video editing. I use it as an external monitor for my laptop and it's been the perfect companion so far. I play occasionally and it's good for my game; Although I wouldn't classify it as a gaming monitor as the refresh rate is only 60Hz. I also noticed a moderate and sometimes strong IPS glow, but I expected that before I bought it. The stand is a little wobbly and wobbly and I might consider replacing it with a VESA mount. The model I received has volume control, no brightness control buttons. As such, changing the brightness through the settings can be a bit of a hassle. On the other hand, the built-in speakers are a bit louder and better than I expected. I will probably refrain from buying speakers because they are good enough for now. They also have an app on their website that allows you to change your monitor settings. The app is a bit buggy but it's good enough. It would be nice to see multiple USB ports on the monitor and also if it came with a better stand. But for this price you can only ask for so much. Now after purchasing this monitor I've come across a few other models with similar features and prices from other manufacturers that offer USB ports and better stands, but let's name other brands :PI wish there weren't any stuck pixels , but that's all I'm still happy with my purchase.
