Customer Ratings & Reviews

After a lot of research and thoroughly using this monitor for programming, photo/video editing, and gaming, I've found this monitor to be the absolute best 4k USB-C monitor under $400. Even a lot of similar monitors in the $600-$700 didn't have any additional benefits. The only downside to this monitor is that you cannot daisy chain monitors together, but you wan't find a comparable monitor that does that until you get into the $700 range. So if you want to run multiple monitors, you'll have to plug them directly into your computer. That being said, since each monitor is a hub, I don't have to plug anything else into my 16" MacBook Pro except my power cord. This monitor also comes with a USB-C cable and 2 HDMI cables. Very versatile stand, best color gamut, best picture clarity for an anti-glare screen, best viewing angles, horizontal and vertical rotation. This is simply the best 4k USB-C monitor out there for the price. The next step up in terms of specs is the 24" LG Ultrafine Display.

I've been using this Philips 4K 27" monitor for over a month ago. I am extremely impressed with this monitor in every way. Very sharp image and picture quality with good colors and brightness. Very thin bezels except for the bottom portion. The stand is made extremely well and very sturdy unlike other models I've seen. I like the fact this 4K monitor has an IPS display so I can view the screen from extreme angles. I have my Asus Zenbook 15.6" 4K resolution laptop connected to this Philips 4K monitor for excellent viewing quality. From my research, I have found that the $365 price tag for this Philips 4K monitor is a very good price, especially because other similar monitors from Dell costs noticeably more. The only potential negative thing about this monitor is that I can't figure out how to connect this monitor to another monitor. I'm guessing this is not possible. I've read the specs on some Dell monitors that it's possible to "daisy-chain" multiple monitors, but I don't think it's possible with this Philips monitor. I'm not going to downgrade any stars from this Philips monitor since it was never advertised as having that daisy-chain feature. I give this 5 stars for quality and price.

I replaced my setup (5K iMac + 13" MBP) with a single 16" MBP. I already had an LG 4K monitor (LG 27UL500W) but I needed another since I was losing a display (my 5K iMac). I didn't want to break the bank on another monitor (I don't need extremely accurate colors, I'm a developer not a creator). For some reason this monitor would not run at 60 Hz when I had my other 4K monitor connected. The dock that I am using is the CalDigit TS3 Plus. This monitor is connected to it via the DisplayPort and my other monitor via USB C to DisplayPort. In order to fix this issue I went into Display settings on MacOS and held option as I clicked on scaled to list all possible resolutions and set both to 2560 x 1440. After doing that both monitors are now running at 60 Hz. Other than that annoyance, I knocked a star down because I really disliked the OSD controls of the monitor itself. I wish that they incorporated a joystick (like LG and Samsung do). The stand of this monitor is by far the best stand that I have ever had on a monitor (and I've spent up to $600-700 in the past on monitors).

The product descriptions lists 122% sRGB coverage and 103% NTSC coverage. These claims are wrong. Measured with a colorimeter, it's more like ~96% sRGB and 74% NTSC. Misleading claims by Philips. The only upside is the included stand and USB-C features (with caveats around USB3.2 and 4k/60Hz operation)

The packaging was minimal and well done. The stand is solid. Image quality is great for the price.
