Reviewer score 71% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Philips 279P1 is a great choice if you're looking for a productivity monitor. The stand is a stand out, with height adjustment, pivot, and tilt. The monitor's colors look rather accurate and hit all the outer targets of its native sRGB color gamut. You're missing features like HDR, but most competing monitors don't have this feature.
Pros
- Color accuracy
- Good contrast ratio
- Good grayscale tracking
Cons
- No HDR support
- No USB-C port
