I have heard some people say that the curve takes time to get used to, but getting used to it seemed easy to me. I don't think I would want a monitor wider than this. The size is perfect.Thankfully the monitor I received was in perfect condition. No dead pixels. Philips dead pixel policy is not clear at all. I hope that this will never be an issue. The 4 year warranty seems pretty awesome. Seems like Philips will stand behind their product.GAMESI have not yet tested any serious games on this monitor, but I will soon and post an update here.

The USB-C port on the laptop where I plug the power adapter did nothing when I connected the monitor using the supplied USB-C cable. This is probably a misunderstanding on my part. There is a secondary USB-C port on the laptop that has an energy bolt next to it. When I plugged the monitor into that USB-C port, the laptop displayed on the monitor in 1440p, and the laptop was receiving a charge from the monitor. Pretty amazing.STANDThe stand is very sturdy.

I am an IT engineer, so being able to have Visual Studio Code, PowerShell, Outlook, and the Azure portal all open at the same time (I have a 2nd monitor) really helps with productivity.A creative professional may want to avoid the curve and go for a panel with even higher color accuracy. A gamer might want more than 100hz to keep gameplay as smooth as possible.If you are looking for more screen real estate and you want to be more productive, then this monitor is for you.Side note: Amazon's characteristics for this item don't make any sense. They asked me to give a rating for the "sheerness" and "thickness" of the monitor.

    Reviewed in Australia on July 16, 2022
    Been using this monitor for 2-3 weeks for work, )ie: not to play games or watch movies) and it's great. It's my first time attaching a monitor to my Asus ZenBook so I can't compare but I think it's brilliant. I should have bought an auxiliary monitor years ago. Really transforms the way I work.

    Note the "curve" is minimal (see photo) but it suits me fine (and I can't compare to a more curved monitor), but if you are looking for a monitor with a serious curve, this is one is not for you.

    7 PROs:
    * GREAT ON THE EYES: First time attaching a large monitor to my laptop and the detail is great. Makes working much easier and enjoyable. Should have bought an external monitor years ago!
    * LOVE THE AUDIO: The audio on my laptop plays up sometimes making it difficult to hear, but this monitor's speakers (located at the base) are great. Amplify the sound.
    * PLUG AND PLAY: The only "setting up" is attaching the stand to the monitor. Easy. Then the power cord and then, and THIS IS IMPORTANT, the HDMI cable.
    * TIP no.1 : Monitor comes with a standard HDMI cable BUT to connect my laptop to the monitor I needed a MICRO HDMI (male) to HDMI (female) cable. I only realised after the monitor was delivered, so I had to order one ($14AUD for a 3m cable). It meant that I had to wait 3-4 days to use it, so if you need one, order it at the same time.
    * FRONT BUTTONS (bottom right) are: On / off (I prefer to turn monitor off rather than leave it on standby mode) , volume, input (VGA, HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort) and Smart image (FPS, Racing, RTS, Gamer 1, Gamer 2, Low Blue Mode). ...err, don't know what all these "smart image" functions do. But audio jack is at back (see "cons"). Also no idea what the "lock icon" at the back is for...but I guess I should read the manual for that!
    * IT TILTS: No idea if all monitors do this, but I discovered it's quite important. When I first set it up, the light from my back window was reflecting off the monitor. A minimal tilt downwards resolved the problem. If it couldn't tilt down it would have been a real problem and I'd probably not be as happy.
    * THE STAND: I like that it is a rectangular frame rather than either two "claws" or a "filled" rectangle. It means you can utilise that space for other things... handy. I was worried that the "ring" around the screw that connects the stand to the monitor was lopsided (see photo) but has had no detrimental effect...well, so far anyway... but I don't move the monitor around.
    * TIP no.2: You'll need a phillips head screw driver (ha, of course!) to connect the stand to the monitor.

    2 CONs:
    * The audio jack is at the back. Why? I'd have it under the monitor for easy access.
    * Was worried when I saw the bottom of the box had traces of "wet" and there were finger prints on the monitor that were not mine (see photos). But there has been no issue.
