🖥️ Philips 246E9QDSB Frameless Monitor with FreeSync, Flicker-Free & Blue Light Filter for Wall Mounting, 1920X1080 Resolution, HDMI & HD Compatibility Review

Bought two of these for work. They've worked pretty well so far, and I really like the built-in blue light filter feature. They are great for office work. I can't comment on the games, but there is a noticeable lag when moving the mouse. However, the 75 x 75mm VESA holes are silly placed in relation to this monitor's other ports. Most universal mounting racks are available in 75x75 and 100x100 sizes. If you try to install them, the 100x100 hole piece will cover all the ports as the ports are on

The instructions that come with this monitor are about three pages of graphic, not verbal instructions, making them beyond difficult to understand. First thing I found was that the only 'button' on this monitor is behind the Philips logo on the back of the monitor. It's not illustrated at all, so be aware. This monitor's off-axis view is somewhat lacking, which is surprising for an IPS display. It's not that bad, but it's noticeable and definitely worse than my 4-5 year old IPS display. The…

So, I'm a professional digital artist. I work in Photoshop, so color accuracy is very important to me. My last monitor died and to be honest I couldn't afford to replace it for a while so I checked the colors on my tablet and worked on my laptop. Terrible combination. So I was looking for a cheap monitor with good color fidelity. At this point, I'd settle for "decent" color accuracy until I could afford something better. Since this is the only monitor with a wide color gamut in this price…

The monitor works. My complaint will be the design. The Vesa mounting holes are too close to the ports so when using 3rd party mounting options the mounts easily block the ports preventing cables from being inserted. If you don't want to drill new holes in the bracket, you'll need to use standoffs so you can insert the cables. Bad design if you ask me. If you're mounting holes and claiming compatibility, you should at least check the hole pattern to make sure it works, or place the cable ports…

It seems like a quality monitor once I figure out where the power button is. I spent too much time clicking on the bottom right corner of the monitor where the tiny on/off logo is because I figured I would have to send the monitor back. The line drawing quick start diagram showed the bottom center of the screen frame on the front being pressed with the thumb, but pressing it produced the same result as pressing the power logo: nothing. Here's the layman's solution: press the square part on the…

Since Revain is aggregating reviews of several of these monitors, I want to be clear that this review is for the 24-inch model with a wide color gamut. I bought this monitor mainly because of its wide color gamut. I have a dual monitor setup so initially I just ordered one to compare to my old one. The color is definitely a lot lighter and looks great compared to my old one. I have already noticed that the color correction of my photos is more accurate than before and gives better results…

After reading some of the reviews here, there is conflicting information as to whether the monitor has built-in speakers. I got the monitor and plugged in a working HDMI cable and was able to connect everything but there was no sound. I called tech support and they gave me the model number: 246E9QDSB. It turned out that this model does not have built-in speakers. I was confused because the manual I found online on the Philips website says on page 13 in the "Comfort" section that the device has…

Having to work from home due to the coronavirus, I needed a monitor that seemed to fit at a good price. Unfortunately, the display had a small scratch. As I only use it for work I may not be aware of it but if I were to buy it for something more I would return it or try to take advantage of the warranty that comes with it. What confuses me are computer cones that are completely wrapped in plastic. except the screen. The most important part. That could have been prevented. Apart from the…

8 months of using and loving this monitor. Colors look amazing with clear and crisp text. Switching from 60Hz to 75Hz doesn't feel like much, but it's a huge difference in smoothness and I love it. There is only one thing stopping this monitor from getting a 5 star rating and that is the VESA screw holes on the back. Most Vesa mounts cover all the ports on the back and I had to bend the Vesa mount up so I could connect my HDMI. If Philips made this monitor at 144hz or even 120hz while keeping…

The monitor and picture quality are fine, but good luck finding a VESA mount that works with it. I purchased this bracket https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XV1MMNY/ and as you can see from the two photos I posted the bottom edge of the bracket interferes with the HDMI and D-Sub ports . I can't plug the cable into the port. I looked at other mounts and found they will have the same problem. The connectors on the back of this monitor are about 1/8 inch too high to mount. If I happen to find a…

The standard VESA adapter you receive fits two hole pattern sizes, for which this monitor uses the smaller hole pattern. However, adapters work for both, and HDMI and digital video connections get in the way. Using a digital video cable, I was able to install the cable and gently slide the VESA plate open. Using HDMI (the cable that came with the monitor) I was unable to fully attach the VESA plate (see image). Surprisingly, the monitor does not come with a digital video cable. It comes with a…

As a freelance journalist and photographer, I combine routine work with texts and complex graphics. I need screen real estate for my research and writing, but my photography and graphic design work isn't enough to justify using two top-notch monitors. When my overloaded pair of Dell monitors started flickering, I decided that a pair of these 24-inch frameless Philips monitors would be a great value upgrade. They're bright, with deep blacks (and no dead pixels) and good full sRGB color…

Everything about this monitor is great except for one thing. VESA mount compatibility is not very good. I was able to mount mine but had to do so by flipping the mount and now only 2 of the 4 screws are used. VESA mount aside, this is a great monitor, it has a button/joystick for all controls in the center back and the user interface is very clean. 100% recommend this for those not planning on a VESA mount, for anyone who does I may reconsider depending on what mount you have or plan to get.

I like the monitor in every way except how the font is displayed. I've tried various methods to calibrate it to correct how pixelated and grainy fonts look, to no avail. However, I bought this monitor with my budget in mind and I think it's not bad overall. As annoying as he is, I still (moderately reluctantly) think I got my money's worth as the font issue is my only complaint. Colour, brightness, form factor and overall appearance are all very solid. If I remember, I'll update this review…

The monitor is very beautiful. The problem is the VESA mount on the back. The monitor comes with a desktop stand, which is a good thing. However, if you want to use a wall mount or other mount, you can attach it to the back using the holes built into the back. Impossible to use with most mounts as the input connectors and power connector are just below the bottom pair of holes. My solution for wall mounting Harbor Freight was to cut the panel just above the harbor area. Also, the power button…

1.) The viewing angle of 178 degrees is excellent. 2.) Rich colors compared to my other monitors. The one on the left in the photo is this one and the one on the right is my older one. See the difference.3.) Great quality for the price. Update: 02/21/2021.) Although everything I said before was true, after a few weeks of use I have a very large spot with pixel discoloration on the screen. .2.) I have attached screenshots of the photo at the end 3.) I have returned the monitor and received a…

I had to buy and return a couple of these that just wouldn't turn on and had cosmetic issues. The small bezel around the screen is loose - see image where you can see the gaps between the screen and the circled bezel plastic compared to where it actually attaches to the screen as indicated by the arrow. Still, it's incredibly low and not really noticeable when the monitor is on. The monitor is nice and bright and the brightness can be adjusted well on both sides of the spectrum. I can't speak…

This monitor is a really great option for a cheap secondary monitor and works exactly as advertised. It's 1080p. So if you need something with more detail for fine line work like graphic design this might not be it, but for everything else I think it works great. I use it for photo editing in Lightroom. It's very wide which is good, the only downside is I wish it was a bit lighter but other than that no complaints from me!

A Philips 24 inch monitor (names the size because Revain reviews are often mixed and I wish I had that information) cannot be mounted on a standard VESA mount and connected with cables at the same time. VESA is the most common mount. The stubs on the back of the monitor are covered with a bracket. I've been looking for a suitable mount for a week and haven't found anything. There was nothing even on the Phillips website. Someone mentioned modifying the mount but remember this is solid metal and

I've wanted a new monitor for a very long time and decided to bite the bullet and buy a new, bigger screen and I'm so happy I finally got it! We cut the cable 6 months ago and I use my computer all the time mostly to read the news, watch movies and play some silly games. It fits my space perfectly and is great for watching movies as my other screen wasn't big enough to do every movie justice. I'm disabled and I just prefer to watch movies and series on my computer because it's just more…
