I was shocked (in a good way) by the quality of this monitor. I particularly like the sensor that turns the monitor screen off off when you leave the area. It has USB-C, Display Port, and HDMI connections. So for MAC users, I highly recommend. Outstanding picture quality with a work setting that is easy on the eyes. It also comes with one of the best stands on the Market. I love that stand. You can tilt, rotate, swivel. And adjust the height. In my picture the VESA stand for my MAC is too high, and that’s the lowest setting. So I purchased a monitor table to put this monitor on to match the height. These monitor is loaded with the latest features and settings. The 4K quality is great on movie or picture mode. Nice price compared to the other manufacturers. If this monitor last, I will become a Phillips fan.

I am using this as part of my home office set up and I really appreciate the USB-C connectivity. The monitor is crisp, easy to set up and is a great value for the price.

Great Monitor! Great price point as well. Very clear and crisp image quality. Very easy to set up and use. The speakers are not the best ones in the world but it gets the job done.

Awesome monitor and very affordable. 4K IPS color calibrated and with great brightness, and can be connected through USB-C. Not often you can find such a great package in this price range

Terrible Connectivity and Substandard Clarity

Barely connects via HDMI to my MacBook. It’s always saying it can’t detect a device. Clarity is low - the screen is very grainy. Pretty low quality but you get what you pay for. You shouldn’t pay more then $75 for this.

Solid 4K monitor for the price. Knocked down a star due to the sub-par audio quality from the built-in speakers and the fact that in order to run at 4k60hz you have to lower the USB setting to USB2.0.

Use as Second monitor wall mounted.
Amazing clarity & easy on the eyes.
USB-C & abundant I/O makes this monitor great for multi-purpose use from programming all day to playing games.
Not the fastest refresh rate for 4k monitor, but it's marketed towards professionals, not gamers.

This monitor has a beautiful picture quality. I have had no issues with it so far. I'm not a fan of where the on/off switch is located. It's a little hard to get to.

Brilliance Doesn't Function With Some HP Laptops

It's difficult to fully review this product because it didn't work at all! According to the Geek Squad, this product does not work with some HP models, something that Phillips apparently doesn't mention anywhere.

Do not buy! This monitor BROKE my iPhone XS
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
tldr; using the "fast charging" port on my monitor completely broke my iPhone, forcing me to buy a new one.
I purchased this monitor about 2 weeks ago. One of the USB-A ports on the side of the monitor is advertised as a "fast charging" port for your smartphone.
On the second day of use, after plugging in my iPhone XS for about 15 minutes (before charging, my phone had maybe 60% battery), I noticed that my phone was no longer responding or turning on. I tried powering it all the way down but to no avail. Tried charging it through a normal wall outlet, through my power strip, through my computer: nothing worked. My iPhone is about 3 years old, and it had no known battery or performance issues.
The next day I had an appointment at the Apple Store, and a tech confirmed my worst fear. Somehow in those 15 minutes of "fast charging" through my monitor, something had damaged my phone's internal circuitry and made it unable to receive/circulate power. The tech noted that this was not just a dead battery issue (in which case they could just replace it), but an issue with the whole phone, and unfortunately the only option I had was to buy a new phone. I took my phone to another 3rd-party repair shop, and they had the same diagnosis that a particular chip had short-circuited, which they very often see when customers use 3rd party chargers or power supplies.
My Philips customer support experience has been extremely poor so far. Their phone number is difficult to find (you have to call a specific number for monitor support), and many times I've been put on hold only later to be hung up on. It's been over 2 weeks since my phone was damaged (I have since had to purchase a new phone with my own money), and Philips is still verifying my case. Absolutely infuriating.
I'm definitely never plugging anything else into the "fast charging" port on my monitor, but honestly I would just recommend avoiding this monitor altogether. The damage to my phone combined with the horrible customer service makes it unlikely I'll purchase from Philips ever again. Wish I could rate lower than 1 star.
