It's a good quality 4k (3840x2160) Monitor. It's isn't perhaps the greatest of gaming monitors, it has no RGB/HDR/144hz/etc but then I'm not the best gamer either so it suits me. :)Not seen/noticed any dead pixels.Adequate stand, a little wobble if really hammering on my keyboard (will be replacing it eventually with a stand anyway). It has 100mm VESA mounting holes. Enough inputs (I'm using Display Port). External power brick.

322e1c is a very nice monitor!

I bought this to replace a 2010 1080p 60hz tv i was using as a monitor. The curve on the monitor is very easy on the eyes. The latency and refresh rate is good for gaming i notice a big difference coming from 30+ ms and 60hz. The color is perfect. Very easy to use the menu from the buttons on the monitor and even easier to set it up using the downloadable software. The only reason i give it 4 stars is when using a vesa mount on a wall the location and shape of the power plug hits the wall with a standard vesa mount. It pushes the monitor to angle to the right. A 90 degree power plug would fix it or as i did space the monitor out about a half inch.

Beware anyone with astigmatism curved isn't better

Looked forward to this monitor however after the first day of use I started to get double vision, I have a very mild astigmatism and this monitor started causing me issues I haven't experienced before. I was seeing double or triple vision blur constantly after using this monitor. I don't think a curved monitor is suitable for people with astigmatisms, I really wish they warned this beforehand as I'm now out of pocket for a monitor that causes me serious problems to use.

Good bang for the buck, but low brightness

The good: Bang for buck, this monitor is great- QHD resolution is fine and won't overtax your PC, solid build quality and, monitor stand is solid even though no height adjust, sound output works nicely, gaming features are good at this price point, warranty and support are excellent.The bad: The only real problem is that 250 nits of brightness means you don't want this is a brightly lit space. My nit pick is that the sleep behavior is annoying- it first goes black, then displays a message saying no video input, then says it's entering sleep, then actually goes to sleep. This is maybe no big deal to some people, but my old monitor would just shut down right away and that worked well with all my auto-power-down equipment in the office.

Great Visuals, Nice Features & Easy Set-up

We got this monitor from Amazon after my Samsung LED stopped working. For the price, these are some VERY impressive visuals, love the curved display (it's not for everyone, so if you're in the creative field, want a cheap dorm TV, for gaming or robust office work you'll greatly enjoy it), it was shipped from Philips packaged well & was VERY easy to set up.The other thing I really liked was the ability to custom your visuals to suit your personal style as well as using the Low-Blue Mode if your eyes get tired from working long hours (me). The speakers are so-so, it would be best to use another wireless one with your computer but since most monitors don't have built in one's it's a win win.All in all, we're happy with this gem!

Great monitor and great value

I have had this monitor for about two weeks and so far it has been absolutely great for my type of use (I use computer for personal and work-related tasks that do not involve gaming or professional work with graphics). The monitor looks great (it is almost frame-less, and its footprint on the desk is quite small and non-intrusive). I upgraded from a 24" Full HD (1080p), and it was indeed quite an upgrade. The text is crisp, the colours are great, and I can comfortably fit much more content on the screen. If this monitor holds up in the long run, it is a fantastic value.

Keith's review of Philips 278E1A/00 27" 4K UHD IPS Monitor

Pros: As it’s an IPS it has a really nice picture with excellent colour and viewing angles with minimal reflections. Very sharp and being 4K the resolution is fantastic. At this price point you will struggle to get better value for money for the spec.Cons: A USB port on back would be handy for phone charging etc also vertically mounted HDMI/D-Port connectors would put less strain on the ports when pushed up against a wall. Still for the price it’s a great buy.

Macbook M1 OS 13.0 cannot set HiDpi

Very good monitor indeed. Works with MacBook M1 but needed to set "scaled" resolution to get the monitor's native resolution as such, text is small. Cannot set HiDPI as the Retina display to only scale the text and not the resolution. Also, refresh rate is maxed at 30Hz - ah?! Though it's great for development to see Unity, VS Code, browser and game at the same monitor. I'd very much like to see a better Apple support for this great monitor.

Works well!

Easy to install, good monitor with standard performance.Installed on a VESA mount, can't talk about the stand.Connected to my computer easily.Somewhat strong blue colour reduction modes (couldn't see some highlights even on the lowest setting).
