Philips 346B1C 34" UW-QHD Curved Ultra-Wide Monitor (2019)
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%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.

Cons
- Not for everyone

Reviewer score 57%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.
