Don't use this for gaming!

I use this monitor for video editing and content creation. The monitor is NOT intended for gaming due to the 60Hz refresh rate. This is a very good and affordable monitor for my use and its colour, brightness and picture quality are much better than I imagined given its price. A very good, high-quality 4K monitor at a very good price.

Completely colourless

I spent hours correcting completely wrong colors but finally gave up. Customer service makes you dance in circles. Do yourself a favor and choose a reputable panel manufacturer with the best quality control. Don't waste your hard-earned money on things that may or may not work well. Oh, and the customer service was AOC (not congressman). Does Philips even do it?

Best Budget 4K Monitor!

This is probably the best 4K monitor you can buy for under $350. The factory settings already result in good color accuracy.

Just ordered the 2nd

I bet you're a little skeptical and that's why you're reading this. Yes it's 4k, yes the same specs as a $600 monitor. Yes, it's much cheaper. Yes, I ended up ordering a second one. My advice: keep it up. , You will not regret it.

  • Many things

I was happy to get this monitor as I needed a cheap 4K monitor as a secondary monitor for editing. I received the monitor and set it up only to find out that it doesn't have internal speakers as stated in the description. Be warned, if you want a monitor with built-in speakers, this isn't the case.

Not suitable for color correction

This monitor is best for gaming. DO NOT BUY FOR COLOR EVALUATION OR COLOR ACCURACY! I bought two of these monitors to complement my Dell. You don't get the deepest blacks with HDMI, you have to use a DisplayPort cable and even then the skin tones are ridiculously red. I have calibrated these monitors twice with Xrite Pro with no success. My Dell, which only displays up to 2k, has much better color accuracy. Only buy these displays if you are a general PC user and not for professional video…

Good 4k monitor for the price

After many reviews of 4k monitors, I decided on this one. Size, specs, reviews, price were right. The difference to my HD monitor is significant. Aversion to slow startup and complexity in some calibration functions. General. this is a good buy for the price.

Excellent monitors are the best in my rating

I picked up two to replace my dual 27" 4K Scepter rig I had. These monitors are a step up and close to perfection. The lack of HDR and speakers is the only flaw I can find at the moment. HDR is a great technology. So if they play media for you, do yourself a favor and stream it. As great as the HDR capabilities are, that's a major downside, but you really can't beat them for CAD work.

Broke after 3 hours of use.

After 3 hours of use, the screen suddenly went white and the monitors squeaked when turned on. Also, dead pixels appeared and the monitor menu does not appear. Image quality was good until it broke.

Quality in a small package

The screen is on par with the Macbook Pro (m1) in terms of clarity and color reproduction. The size is very compact for 4k, but readability is also excellent. The best monitor in terms of value for money.

Is this position above a 15 " MacBook?

Doesn't rise high enough to position over the MacBook screen. That's 1 inch smaller than the 15-inch MacBook. Older versions of this monitor work and are very useful.

Not for dual monitor setup

The picture quality seemed good. My complaint about this monitor was its ability to run in dual monitor mode. Every time my monitors woke from sleep, they would change the resolution I set (accidentally not the same resolution) and often forget I had a dual monitor set up. My other monitor hasn't lost its settings (Dell ultrasharp 27 4K). This permissions issue was a real deal breaker. I returned this monitor and bought LG for the same price (LG 27UK670-B), it worked perfectly.

Great colors, input lag and 4K

It feels great live and the wide color gamut isn't quite as saturated as some monitors. Text is very crisp and games look great. NOTE: This model does not have the described speakers or USB ports. Instead it has 1 Displayport and 2 HDMI (288E2E). Additional note: If you're using HDMI, make sure you google how to enable "full RGB". Otherwise, you will get a limited color palette by default.
