Reviewers from techradar have found the following***:
The Philips 288E2UAE offers conspicuous value for a 4K monitor based on a wide-gamut IPS panel. It does lack some features of more expensive alternatives, but for the money it's a lot of monitor. There's no single-cable connectivity for driving the display and charging your laptop. FreeSync support will please occasional gamers, and Philips MultiView tech.

Pros
  • Wide-gamut IPS panel
  • Excellent viewing angles
  • Decent build quality
Cons
  • No USB-C connectivity
  • Lack of detail and sharpness
