Philips Curve Monitor

I have owned my Philips 27E1N8900 for over 2 months now. Specs are equivalent to much higher priced competitors. Was able to purchase it for $999.99. Colors and contrast are as expected from an OLED monitor. Make sure to use a DP 1.4 cable as this will give you full 10-bit depth. Refresh is 60hz. I am a moderate gamer, so this is fine for me. I have a 144hz 4K IPS monitor, but the colors/contrast of the OLED is so far beyond the IPS I chose to use the Philips 27E1N8900 for the near perfect picture quality.

To begin with, anyone who complains about the price has not checked out what the very limited field of competition sells their 27 4k OLED monitor for. This is roughly 1/2 or more the list price of the competition (which has now come down in price to within $600 dollars of this Philips model ~ I wonder why?) & I think it's a better monitor than the life is good people. Note the KVM Switch and the color plate options, plus a huge amount of ports to work with. The stand has a five inch range of motion up and down you can operate with a finger and it has the ability to rotate into portrait mode. That said the image is what will set the hook in for you. Better blacks will not be seen, especially when you turn out all the lights and realize there is no blooming into grays for blacks and those blacks are infinity devoid of light photons. 1080 upscales very well to 4k. But you will get lost in legit 4k content when viewing the Philips 27E1N8900. Forget all the big screens at home or at Lowes cinema and just hunker down in front of this 27 inch guy. I had been waiting for something along these lines for quite a while that had both quality and value to pair with my MacBook Pro in clamshell mode. It accomplishes this via a USB-C cable that both distributes the content from the Mac and powers it at the same time. (The single upgrade I will make will be swapping out the USB-C cable that came with the monitor to a thunderbolt 4 cable to yield the best possible connection with my MacBook Pro.) Oh... & Philips stands solidly behind this monitor with a 4 year guarantee. Enough said. Highly recommended.

Monitor runs super smooth and the curve is definitely a huge bonus

One of the amazing product from philips. Great

Every game I have run on it so far looks crazy! Doom running at 5120x1440@120 with all the setting maxed will make your eyes pop out!! The combination of the 32:9 aspect ratio, high frame rate and the HDR makes playing on this thing like nothing else I have seen. I can see enemies on screen that other people can't. It's curve is 1800R, more curved than a TV. You sit so much closer to it that it has to be more aggressive. Once you are sat in front of it you don't really notice the curve but you do notice how much more comfortable it is on your eyes. I have an RTX 2080ti in my PC. I think if you want to game on one of these an RTX 2080 is the minimum. It being so large and you sitting so close to it means that any drop in settings you do, to get framerate up, ends up looking muddy, you're kind of defeating the point of having it. If you get one, be prepared to have an irresistible urge to buy a stupidly expensive video card. With nVidia enabling G-Sync on Freesync monitor you get full VBR support on AMD and nVidia cards. It works great on the standard Freesync setting. I have always used multi-monitor setups so upgrading to this monitor has meant that I can now run my desktop on one monitor yet have more screen estate than before. It's amazing how much more productive you can be with a 5120 x 1440 desktop. The games that I have tried in HDR look great but the real star is Netflix. I found that Netflix didn't want to show me HDR content. I installed "HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer" from the Windows store. I'm completely blown away by this monitor.

Really like this monitor, because of the curve, it feels smaller than it is, do it fits real nice in our cozy office. Had plenty of screen real estate to multitask with lots of open windows. Only downfall is there is no adjustability. Nice and cheap too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The aggressive curve high resolution of this monitor are great for gaming and everyday tasks. Performs very well with the 3070 in my PC.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn't sure if I was going to like the curve screen but I also didn't want to have a dbl monitor. The size is perfect. I can still do a split screen and the picture is very vivid!!! I love the extra ports and being ablento charge my wireless keyboard and mouse. Best purchase yet!!!

I researched multiple OLED ultrawide displays and I concluded with this one from LG. The competition to this screen are either older models with HDMI 2.0 or for some reason decide to go with the mini-version for the ports. The other deciding factor is the screen finish. I use this monitor in a well-lit room due to a window but with this monitor you wouldn't be able to tell. The combination of the matte coating and the more aggressive 800R curve results in no glare that used to plague me. Additionally, everyone freaking out about the 800R curve just has not tried it yet. Granted it is subjective, but the curve allows for deeper immersion into the game I am playing as well as taking up less space on your desk. Overall, very pleased with this monitor .
