Philips 345E2AE - 34 Inch WQHD Ultrawide Monitor,75 Hz, 4ms, IPS, Height adjust, AMD FreeSync, Speakers (3440 x 1440, 300 cd/m², HDMI/DP)

This monitor is now the centrepiece of my home studio. The image is sharp, bright and colourful. Using it with my MacBook Pro. The screen attached to the base easily and there’s a little clip on the base to keep the cables neat. If my desk was big enough I’d buy a second one of these.

It may not be the highest-end gaming monitor, but for mixed work and gaming use this is spot on. I used to have two screens side by side for work, but this is wide enough to put documents next to each other or better still - have spreadsheets laid wide without the bezel running down the middle!For gaming it's immersive width is great.Picture quality is only marked down as QHD on this width of screen is never going to be perfect, but the picture is still very good!

I'm very happy with this monitor. The size, picture and colour are all fine for my use, which is office not gaming.I have down sized to it from a full 4K monitor, which proved just too big to work with, and since I ran the 4K at 125% and can run this 3440x1440 at 100% I haven't lost must screen height.My one gripe is that it came with incorrect power cables for the UK. It came with a UK plug/C13/kettle lead, but that is not what the monitor uses. It has a small power pack like laptops, and that requires a three circle 'clover-leaf-connector. That cable was supplied, but with a northern european 2 pin plug.Amazon has refunded me the cost of a UK to European converter plug which I will use.Thankfully the outgoing 4K monitor had the required UK/clover-leaf, so at least I was able to power up the monitor until the converter plug arrives!

If this monitor had 90hz or usb hub, It would have been 5 star.The good:- For £300-325 you can't go wrong.- I had no issues with the monitor at all, no ips glow or light bleeding.- Picture is clear and sharp.- Colour is good out of the box, but I recommend calibrating it to get the best colour accuracy- At this price, 75hz it's great.- Small edges makes it looks almost borderless.The bad:- No connections for peripherals.- The back of the monitor has a weird design:The VESA mount is deep inside the monitor, so I had to install an extender as my mount would not fit inside.The mount is also quite low compared with other monitors, this should be in the centre, and it can be annoying, you might have to adjust your wall mount. Also, the wall mount might become visible due to the monitor mount being so low.If you're planing on installing LED's behind this, good luck, the monitor has very weird shapes on the sides, so I had to come up with a "mod", see pictures.

Great monitor, but...After only three months of use, the audio has become faulty, making it impossible to use the built-in speakers or an external audio source.As a customer, I expected a product from a reputable brand like Philips to last longer than just a few months.When I reached out to Amazon customer service for a replacement, I was informed that a replacement was not available for this monitor and was offered only a refund after sending it back or a small discount. These options are not suitable for me as I rely on the monitor for work and cannot be without a screen for any length of time.Overall, I was anticipating a more seamless replacement procedure and find the offer of a £35 discount for a faulty product that costs £325, after just three months of use, to be rather disrespectful.

Perfect if you are looking for an affordable wide monitor. Picture quality is good with sRGB fidelity. Overall good for the price

The stand is well built with height adjust and swivel, no rotation which is fine. The panel itself is excellent for a range of different tasks, like coding and design work. It is also good for multimedia with the built in speakers which perform decently enough, certainly better than the laptop driving it. Cannot say for gaming, but the aspect ratio seems unlikely to be ideal.

The oanel is a nice shape and size but i wish i paid a bit more for a better quality screen
