Reviewer score 65% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from tomshardware have found:
The Philips 278E1A is a good all-around performer for your 4K desires on a budget. It's not a good fit for the smoothest, fastest pace gaming but is fine for AAA titles if you're happy with about 60 fps. If you want something color-accurate right out of the box, the S2721QS is a better option.
Pros
  • Good all-around performance
  • Good color and grayscale accuracy
  • Good speakers
Cons
  • Mediocre speakers
  • No Dolby Vision support
