Decent budget monitor.
I've been using this monitor for a little over a year now, and for it's price it's ok. I only could wish this monitor was 120 Hz, than it would have been even better for gaming. Great for watching 4k cinema content.
Great item. Reasonable price. Works like a charm.

Monitor is great, warranty process is horrible
The monitor itself is great. Easy on the eyes. Pretty reliable. Good price. If you get a bad one (I've purchase 3, one went bad just before the 2 year mark) the warranty process is god awful. They want you to register the product to get warranty info. So you jump through the hoops, sign up on their site, put in the model number, upload a reciept, the whole dog and pony show. And when you're finally done, they still don't give you any information on how to submit a warranty. There are buttons that allude to it, but as you click on them it just takes you around and around in circles, never actually getting you help. Sent an email to support but haven't heard anything back. If they don't resolve, I won't be buying again.
Great when it works, not when it goes blank
I've had 2 of these monitors. First worked great, until a vertical black band appeared on the left of the screen. Tech support couldn't fix, so they sent me a replacement monitor. Great. That worked fine for a few days, until suddenly the whole screen went black & wouldn't come back on. Maybe a new replacement?
Almost perfect
Good resolution and clear picture. Controls underneath the screen which is not good if the screen is close to the desk. Cable connections are not at the bottom which is good.
Large curved screen, noticeably low resolution
I had to unfortunately return the product, as i needed a work monitor, but the resolution was so bad that small fonts, coding, menu items looks very bad. I didn't need a gaming computer but a high performance monitor for work
Awesome product. The feature is just like what it advertises in catch. When I connect it to my laptop with display port cable, it shows the 3840*2160 @60 mhz 4K resolution quality. The response of auto-signal detection is also swift. The design of menu ke
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.
I bought 1 of this monitor for myself more than 1.5 year ago and then bought another 2 for my family. Obviously, I'm very satisfied with it. It has good resolution and accurate colors. The curve design on a big wide monitor like this makes eyes comfortable. All of this is more than you should expect from a monitor at such a price for day-to-day work. It's NOT a gaming monitor, so don't expect it to have a super high refresh frequency / low response time. It's NOT a monitor for graphic designers, so don't expect it to have color accuracy and gamut like those high-end monitors. It's NOT a monitor for audio studio, so don't expect it to have built-in speakers that give you professional acoustic experience. Overall, I'm more than happy to give it a 5-star rating.
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.
Horrible when scrolling code or website with dark background. Terrible response time, even set the smart response to faster. In fastest mode, you get reverse ghosting. All of these are very noticeable just for browsing some colourful websites. I think it's called dark level smearing?
My 6 month old 32" 4k curved Dell monitor - which cost 40% more then this one at the time of purchase) died on me and Dell were/are dragging their feet, so I purchased this as a short-term fix to keep me going - and I'm glad I did. I've had this monitor for about 3 weeks. I am not a graphic designer, nor do I play games so I can't comment intelligently on color accuracy or refresh - and my HDMI setup does not pass sound so I can't comment on that, but for having a lot of pixels in a small area, this does the job perfectly. A bonus was that it properly blanks the screen when in power saving mode (unlike my expensive Dell). The only downside I've noticed (relative to the Dell) is that while you can tilt the monitor you can't move it up and down. I comment that when I initially went from a flat 28" 4k to a curved 32" 4k I was worried about the effects of curvature - I needn't have worried, my eyes/mind quickly adjusted and the curved monitor "seems straight", while when I had to briefly use a flat 32" monitor it appeared to bulge out.
I have used this screen for two months now and like it a lot. At first, I wasn't going to spend this much money but decided to go for a larger screen size. In our office there are other brands 32" and this is definitely the sharpest and most vibrant. That's important when I often work on graphics and I need accurate colours. Maybe someone would say its not accurate enough but I certainly wouldn't agree for what I do with it. The curved screen is not really a big deal for work-based activity so it wasn't a selling point for me. The only issue I have with it is the inability to raise or lower the screen as some of the other Philips screens do. But that's a 'nice to have' not a 'must have' so its pretty minor in the scheme of things. So I am very happy with my purchase and the service from PBTech in suggesting it to me.
Great Monitor, Great Price!
When my FHD Ultrawide monitor needed replacing, I decided to look for a 4K monitor to replace it. I have limited space for my monitor, so did some research and came up with this Philips monitor. Everywhere I looked it had received 4.5 to 5 star ratings, and given the great price offered by Scorptec, I decided to jump on it.
Get this! Your eyeballs will kiss you!
I had one of these for work. When I changed jobs, I went back to using my 27" flat, lower res ASUS monitor. The ASUS is a _great_ monitor, but it's not all *THIS*. The curve and the high DPI combine to relieve eye strain and the 32" of 4K gives you lots of real estate for organizing dozens of windows. Put it on an articulated arm. You'll love it!
Nice package overall but pretty bad viewing angles
I upgraded from a 27" 4K LG (IPS) display and it was great to have the extra room (with 125% scaling). The curve is pretty nice and immediately comfortable to use. Quality was good, and resolution was as expected. First negative is that the height is not adjustable so I had to mount it with the VESA mount to get it to the right height. The deal breaker for me was the terrible viewing angles; at a comfortable distance and height (coming from an IPS display), I was shocked at how bad the viewing angles are (vertically, horizontal was fine). Text was noticeably washed out at the bottom of the monitor and if you lower your head you can immediately see the difference. This is my first VA monitor so maybe I just needed to get used to it, but compared side by side to the IPS it was pretty bad. I ended up returning it and spending a bit more on the LG 32" IPS. I did notice that for full screen images with lots of colour (or games), the effect is much less noticeable. But with text on a white screen, really bad.
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.
As I am working from home now I wanted a decent but inexpensive monitor. For that it is perfect. Its nice and big and clear - as I going a bit old man blind and Specsavers is shut its good to see what I am typing again. However I spent an hour or so trying to work out why I couldn't get any sound coming out of it, reinstalled drivers, restarted PC, bit of googling etc - then spotted another reviewer confirming it didn't actually have any. would have been nice but no big deal for me. Its cheap enough so I don't mind splashing another 30 quid on some monitor speakers.
Great picture great color
Everything is great. Only downside is the color profiles. Can't make custom user profiles. This makes changing the brightness take 10-15 seconds by doing manually in settings rather than just quickly switching the user profile. The other profiles are changeable but they are pre set like fps profile, with different color profiles. Wish I could copy paste the default user profile onto a new one.
The color is not very vivid compare to my macbook retina screen. However, I am using it for coding, so it works fine. However, I guess the quality is not adequate for gaming purpose. The low blue mode is quite good for reading. For those who haven't use large screen before, it may takes some time to get used to the curved monitor. Overall, it is a bit expensive for the quality.
