Philips 346E2Lae - 34 Inch Wqhd Monitor, 100Hz, Va, 1Ms, Usb-C Power Delivery, Amd Freesync, Multiview, Speakers, Smart Image (3440 X 1440 @ 100Hz, 300 Cd/M², Hdmi 2.0 / Dpo 1.2 / Usb-C)

I have bought a couple of these so far to replace twin 24" monitor setups. Picture quality is totally satisfactory for my general office use. Mine are not used for FPS gaming so I cant comment on their suitability for such purpose. Very happy with the USB hub feature which reduces desk clutter and means only one cable going to the laptop. I would say that my Dell laptop complains about slow charge by default as the monitor hub obviously doesnt kick out quite the same power as my laptop charger, but is just a power notification option I have turned off. The laptop still charges, just slower. I presume if you had a more power hungry laptop or one with a dedicated GPU, you would still need to power it separately.

I bought this monitor (Philips 346E2Lae flat 34" model with USB-C) to use with a new 16" MacBook Pro running CAD software. This set-up replaces a 2013 27" iMac (non-retina).The pixel density of the 3440x1440 Philips monitor is almost identical to the slightly smaller 2560x1440 iMac but the image quality is much poorer. Text is indistinct / blurry. Black lines have halo-like artefacts. Colour rendition is dreadful.I've played around with all the settings but haven't managed to find a configuration that gives acceptable results. I'm starting to wonder if it's a faulty unit and at this rate I think I might have to return it. Will update if there are any developments.

My problem is I have an Apple 27" screen as well and I run this in conjunction with the Philips 34". Therefore I'm comparing both images at the same time. However it's a lovely piece of kit. Good refresh rate and nice clean picture. Certainly recommend it.

Amazing quality for the price much more than expected

Picture seemed really good for the 10 minutes it worked, then nothing but black screen with all sources. As others have stated, these monitors seem to have questionable quality.. returned as faulty, no replacement offered.

Good Budget UltraWide QHD Monitor that does PBP correctly. Built in speakers are a bit tinny but acceptable.Only major issue is that it's tricky to wall mount as the ports are directly out of the back of the Monitor including the power lead which means you can't just get some right angle cables/adaptors. Need at least 6-7 cm of clearance from the wall to bend the cables down.

The monitor suffers from pixel ghosting when switching between sources and colours look washed when outputting my PlayStation.The speakers on this monitor to be frank are very poor, I’ve had an LG ultrawide since 2016 which outperforms this monitor is audio quality and it cost me £100 less

Value for money
