Product Overview

Philips 345E2AE is a mainstream 34-inch UW-QHD ultra-wide monitor designed for general computing in Philips's 2020 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit IPS panel.
The included stand comes with tilt and height adjustments that make for a more ergonomic viewing experience. Additionally, this monitor can get quite contrasty. It also comes with build-in speakers that make media consumption in a pinch an effortless experience.
In terms of drawbacks, this monitor lacks HDR support. Further, the 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of color reproduction.
