Philips B Line 34" Quad HD Computer Monitor

Overall it's a great monitor for productivity work and occasional gaming where you can easily switch between 2 inputs pretty quickly. It's not exactly a great gaming monitor with only 100 Hz refresh rate but better than most others at this price range that only offer 60Hz. The 5ms panel refresh rate is a little slow, you can notice some blurring and ghosting on fast moving games but it's acceptable to someone like me. This is a pretty good monitor for working from home, I wanted a monitor that supports 2 inputs and can do picture by picture and has a refresh rate more than 60 hz, this one does both. I previously had 2 different 1080 monitors and switching to one ultrawide 1440 monitor has been a great experience, so much better than 2 separate monitors. I am impressed with the image quality of the monitor. The color and contrast quality is pretty good, although it is a VA panel, there is a little bit of color shifting when looking at the corners or off center but the black level is better than my old IPS monitor. The curve took a little getting used to but once adjusted it seems pretty natural and I like being able to set up multiple windows across the space based on the work I'm doing. There isn't very much light bleed, can really only see it in complete darkness. It is plenty bright, not the brightest and most color accurate monitor but it is good enough unless you're strictly doing digital graphics, I dont. The monitor has inputs for HDMI and DisplayPort as well as USB-C. I have not gotten USB-C video input to work, you supposedly need a video card than can do DisplayPort ALT mode. I don't think mine do. The input switching works well and can be controlled from the buttons on the front of the monitor but it does cause my computers to think the monitor is disconnected for a second before it comes back, which is slightly annoying. It has built in speakers that aren't very good, but most monitors don't have good speakers it's slightly better than my business Dell laptop. However one big downside is you can switch between the audio from HDMI and Display Port but only if they are both being displayed at the same time with PIP or PBP, you can't full screen one port and play audio through the other which is one thing I wanted to do with a work PC and a media PC hooked up to this monitor. The KVM functionality of the monitor is a bit misleading. It's more of a USB hub switch, where you can connect the "hub" to 2 PCs and switch back and forth but it will completely disconnect anything connected to the monitor from the other PC which may not be what you want. All in all it's a pretty good less expensive ultrawide monitor from others I've seen out there that checks all the boxes for features I was looking for. Not the best but I'm pretty happy with it and not going back to 2 separate monitors.
