Ultra-Wide Monitor

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Philips 346B1C is a premium 34-inch UW-QHD ultra-wide 1500R-curved monitor designed for general computing in Philips's 2019 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit SVA panel.

Its 1500R curvature provides a more immersive visual experience. The included stand comes with tilt, swivel, 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.

Reviewer score 80% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from t3 have found:

Philips 346B1C ultrawide monitor has a lot to offer and packs it all in for a very reasonable price. It includes a KVM (keyboard video mouse) switch so you can easily use the screen with two computers and share a keyboard and mouse. There's picture-in-picture support too, and a sensor that detects whether anyone is in front of the monitor, so it can put itself into standby mode when you're not there.

Pros

Decent picture quality
Solid build quality
KVM switch

Cons

Not for everyone

Reviewer score 57% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from techradar have found:

Philips 346B1C has a full support for USB Type-C connectivity including up to 90W of charging power. The 21:9 aspect ratio is absolutely superb, for instance, for viewing multiple documents or web pages in parallel. It supports up to 100Hz refresh, which isn't typically associated with productivity.

Pros

Great value for money
Full USB-C connectivity
Comfortable to use

Cons

Poor pixel density
Not the sharpest 4K monitor
