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

I bought two of these monitors for my business. I wanted a bigger monitor for CAD work. Good monitor, perfect size. However, I don't find it as sharp as it should be. This may be due to a driver issue. The documents that came with the monitor indicated that there should be a driver CD. There was no CD. I downloaded the drivers for Windows 10 from the Philips website, but I couldn't install them. I have contacted Philips support via email but no response. A few days later I tried to call her…

I've had this 4k monitor for a few days and am very happy with it. It was much cheaper than the Koreans, but the picture is very good and the borders are small. Also a good guarantee. It has speakers that remind me of the $5 transistor radio I had 55 years ago, but I expected it, and my Mac Studio computer produces great sound out of the box. The stand doesn't have as many settings as I would like, but that's okay.

Very good 4K display (Philips 278E1), especially for the price. Bright, clear, good color palette. BUT, if you're using it with a Mac with a Retina display (in my case, a MacBook Pro 2019 with Retina), it will display 4k (3820 x 2160) resolution with VERY small menus in all apps. The solution I (finally) found was to use a 3rd party app (like SwitchResX) which gives you more resolution options in HiDPI. You can also find instructions on how to add more permissions options by searching the…

The monitor has an excellent price-performance ratio. It has a slim profile, VESA mount, integrated speakers, full 4K UHD resolution, and a panel with good viewing angles. The stand is plastic but feels solid. Lighting is, but very minimal. The speakers aren't great, but they're loud enough when you're watching a movie 6-8 feet away. I used a straight USB Type-C to DisplayPort cable and the results were good on the 2018 MBP. I haven't tried playing games so can't comment on playability…

All I can say is that now having enough real estate to get my job done is an absolute joy. Better than 2 separate monitors. With Dynamic Contrast turned on, everything looks amazing and crisp. I work and play light games on this monitor and am very glad I made this purchase. I don't know why but my computer is faster and more responsive with this monitor. It's funny because increasing the resolution should have the opposite effect on performance. In any case, some games don't work well at…

I bought an older version of these monitors in 2020 shortly after being forced to work remotely. These monitors were great. And when we got back to the office part-time, I decided to bring them with me to have two 4K monitors at work. But now I needed something for the times I'm still working remotely from home. These monitors are the perfect replacement. Slightly more expensive than the ones I bought 2 years ago for an upgraded VESA mount product? Sign me up! I was able to reuse everything and

I love this monitor! This is way, way better than what my employer gave me in my office. Now I prefer WFH mainly because of this monitor. I can easily place multiple Word documents side by side and see all text clearly. The sharpness matches perfectly with the light shift in my MacBook Pro, which changes temperature depending on the lighting in the room and the time of day. (That's because I keep the MBP screen open as a second monitor. YMMV when you close the laptop and just use it as the only

I had my suspicions because of the price of this monitor but actually it is amazing. Everything looks very sharp on the FHD 1080p monitor. Reading text is a pleasure, as is viewing pictures and videos. If you just need a 4k monitor for office work, this is the perfect option. It works fine with my M1 Max Mac, I had to find a solid HDMI cable that wouldn't dangle when I move the laptop and it's been working seamlessly ever since. If you're looking for a 4K monitor for office use, don't waste…

The Revain.com website says it "displays over 1 billion colors," but that's not true. I bought it and tried setting the card's output to 10-bit color to no avail. I downloaded the user manual from the Philips website and found in the datasheet that it is an 8-bit color monitor (shows 16.7 million colors). If you want a 10-bit (8-bit + FRC) color monitor, don't buy it. There's another one that costs about $20 more.

I received the monitor this afternoon. It is exactly as advertised. Installing the stand only takes a few seconds. Tilting the screen is easy enough and stays where you put it. This is true 4K as I tested it with my LG 4K/Blu-ray player. The main buttons are located in the lower right corner of the front panel. The speakers won't give you much umfs, but I knew what to put in. Connecting computer speakers is definitely the way to go. Colors and sharpness are ok. For my main purposes this monitor

.for my 22" FHD monitor. I bought the 278E1A 27" 4K version (with speakers); and I didn't have to/wouldn't want to make any adjustments to the original state. The lack of reflection is okay (as is the 22-inch ViewSonic monitor it replaced). The brightness is perfect (the lighting in my room ranges from bright to very dark). Resolution is better than my aging/problematic macular eyes would appreciate. And it has speakers which will allow me to rid my desktop of two slightly better speakers (I…

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…

This review is for the 27-inch Philips 278E1A borderless monitor. I was stunned that everything worked perfectly. There are no dead pixels. If I don't see them, they aren't there HDMI cable that came in the box. I expected the worst as there are issues with macOS Catalina and HDMI driven displays. No, not this time are bright, almost no glare, which can be an issue with IPS displays and is considered normal. The display is "super bright". I had to lower the brightness to 50% and the contrast to

Clear image. After staring at this screen at work all day, my eyes were no longer blurry or tired. High resolution is everything. I can't comment on games because I don't use it for that.

I love this monitor. Works great with my Macbook, but due to space constraints I'd like to add a Roku/Appletv to the monitor, but that's not possible due to only one HDMI port. Overall this is a fantastic monitor with bright, sharp images for histology/microscopy.

This is a great 4k monitor for your MacBook Pro. I get 4k @ 60Hz with a "USB-C to DisplayPort" cable. Better than Scepter and Creo. Scepter 34' widescreen failed (see my other review) - It looks sharper than my MacBook's Retina screen - Color accuracy is equivalent to a MacBook with sRGB setting - Auto-on, auto-off "just works" (im (unlike Scepter) - plug-in headphones no hiss (unlike Scepter) - plug in a mic - or use the built-in stereo speakers (clearer than the MacBook Pro's speakers, but…

There were no reviews at the time of purchase, I compared various 27-inch models on the Philips website, found that the panel with the same characteristics is used in all models, and decided to buy. Arrived quickly/installed quickly, this is actually a very good 4K/IPS panel for the price. , Easy to recommend.

This monitor meets the requirements of a good budget 4k monitor. The price is much better compared to similar products on the market. Appearance and design are also very stylish. And my favorite part is the built in speakers which some other monitors don't have! Overall a great product.

I do CAD and GIS design in my job so I need precision, this monitor is crystal clear. It also helped with monitor fatigue. The blue light mode is fantastic and the 27 inch monitor sucks for its size, love it.

The best 27" 4K monitor for the price. Very small bezels on three sides. Excellent image quality with bright and saturated colors. A big improvement over the 23" FHD monitor.
