This is a review for the Philips 325E1C 32" Surper-Curved [sic] Frameless Monitor, Quad HD 2K. Hope I'm not the only one to have caught the spelling error. But if you didn't see it before you can't unsee it now. :D My monitors arrived in perfect condition with zero stuck pixels. I'm running both on DP 1.2 with an GTX 1650 Super as the source. I was upgrading from dual 27" flat displays. My first impression with the 32" Super-Curved QHD displays was just how comfortable they were by comparison to my old 27" flats. Despite being substantially larger, the content appears much closer due to the high rate of curvature. (1500R). It's a true panoramic experience. I don't see any distortion or 'pin cushion' effect. I have heard others complain about distortion but it isn't an issue in my case at all. Being a VA (vertical alignment) panel, both contrast and color are very nice. Although a full IPS panel is going to have the best quality image in terms of color accuracy, I think this VA panel is perfectly acceptable for photo and art applications. That said, it's worth noting that there is a very slight backlight bleed at the edges. You have to be on a pure black background and in a dark room to really see it clearly but it's not non-existent. The 75Hz refresh is plenty high for what I do, but some gamers may want to consider a higher refresh TN display because there is very noticeable horizontal blurring. Overall I couldn't be more satisfied. I am very happy with the price, quality and warranty. Read more

Large vivid screen. Found it just right for whatever I need: movies, games or just browsing the web without glitching. Make sure to use a new HDMI cable of good quality Read more

Written from the perspective that I use this for work for programming not gaming. This is not a gaming monitor at all and my intent is work only. Me: Programmer, 52 with bad vision, very particular about my mouse, keyboard and mouse and even mouse pad. . Monitor is used 8-10 hours a day. For a baseline I have an additional 32 inch that is in a different class (costs: $950) I use for gaming. There is no comparison so I will review with purpose/use in mind. Use: - Microsoft Visual Studios and SSMS (all day) - VIM editor - Office 365 - Email, Word, Excel all extensively. - Web browsing for deep research. This is what I observed: - The words and images are crisp - Screen can brighten or darken easily - Screen controls/ease of use - Connections are limited. - Eye strain is minimal - Incredible value for the money - Fit and finish is really nice. It’s not high end finish like some of the fancier models, but what I am using it for it is perfect. My office buddies are jealous and they are all buying one. They cannot believe the price! I was reluctant because the price was low and I thought I may end up regretting (like a cheaper m type mechanical keyboard I threw in the trash.). I have not tested watching video on it or gaming. Unless you use for high end stuff, you most likely won’t regret the purchase. Read more

I got this for my home office because it's a cheap decent monitor, that's got VESA mounts. I'm pleased with it. - Good viewing angles, good enough to be my side monitor so I'm always looking at it at an angle - easily legible (for a guy in his late 20s) - Bright enough to not strain my eyes - Good enough contrast to not strain my eyes - Simple but useable buttons Read more

Es una buena opción costo beneficio respecto a otras marcas, y mas si es solo para un monitor de trabajo de oficina multitask. La pantalla tiene excelente calidad de imagen, cuenta con bocinas integradas (funcionan bien si es que no tienes bocinas aparte, aunque no impresionan si esperas algo mas exigente) Si tu espacio de trabajo es cerrado con un nivel de iluminación constante puedes ajustar el brillo solo una vez; en mi caso al tener luz natural cambiante durante el día a ciertas resulta molesto el brillo por lo que se tiene que ajustar algunas veces (aunque con una aplicación que descargas de la pagina de Phillips puedes ajustarlo desde tu escritorio son necesidad de usar los botones del monitor) La entrega llegó un día antes de la fecha limite, (vino desde EU) y sin ningún detalle como golpe, grieta o pixeles muertos. Aunque llego en su empaque original y sin ningún otro medio de seguridad debo destacar el trabajo de los repartidores que lo trajeron con cuidado. Read more

Just so you know what I personally need in a monitor: I am not a hardcore gamer. I mostly use my PC for work (office work so lots of Word and PDF docs), web browsing, and some basic streaming (Netflix, Max, Disney+, etc). Between my 15-inch laptop screen and hours of reading and editing text documents, I have a fair amount of eye strain. For a while I have wanted to upgrade my home office experience by adding a large second monitor. I did some research, and a fair amount of people recommended using a curved monitor for the type of work I do. So, over Thanksgiving, when I saw this monitor on sale for less than $100, I decided to pull the trigger, based on not just the price (although certainly a factor) but also the overall the brand Philips and, most importantly, the fact that the monitor was overall very well reviewed here on Amazon. I have only been using the monitor for a couple of days, it has - in that short period of time - not only met but exceeded my expectations. Setup was very easy: it only took me a couple of minutes to unbox and assemble, and connecting it to my laptop (using the included HDMI cable) was plug and play-simple. Again, I’m not the person to ask about a detailed assessment of a display’s graphical abilities, given the aforementioned ways I use one, but the display certainly meets my needs: it’s bright, the curved display is aesthetically pleasing, and the assortment of videos I’ve watched on YouTube and on streaming have looked quite good when played in HD formats. The monitor itself definitely provides a little bit of flair to my setup while still looking professional. The monitor is also a nice combination of sturdy yet lightweight, and the stand it comes with is both simple and uncomplicated while remaining easily adjustable. The only thing I would note (and which several other people mention) is that while the monitor apparently has internal speakers, they are not really independent and pretty much (I believe) act as pass through for the underlying computer’s audio setup. Again, this isn’t a criticism: just an observation in case anyone needs their monitor to also handle sound. In conclusion, I give this monitor high marks all around - especially if, like me, you are in tbe market for an upgrade of your laptop display and/or you want a second monitor that is curved, budget-friendly, and is not needed for high-end graphics.

Bought it as a gift for my son, he loved the curve effect and the wide screen. It was a great price Read more

This Philips 27inch monitor was a great addition to my desk. The screen itself was a perfect size with great color quality and I haven't had any issues with flickering or glitching. It has a great gaming performance and clarity. No complaints over here, I definitely got my money's worth and eventually will buy another one to set up right next to my existing one! Also has a great power saving mode for when I put my laptop in sleep mode. Read more
