Pros and cons

According to our monitor expert

Enjoy sharp images and lots of detail thanks to the 4K resolution.
You can work comfortably with the tiltable display.
Thanks to the built-in speakers, you can listen to music or a podcast while you work.
You can’t connect a second monitor or any peripherals to the monitor, because it doesn’t have a USB-C port.
Because the monitor doesn’t have a built-in webcam, you’ll need a separate one if you want to make video calls.

Description

Watch movies in sharp detail and work comfortably with the Philips 328E1CA. This monitor displays images in 4K, so you can see movies almost twice as sharp as on Quad HD. You can tilt the screen forward or backward for a better viewing angle. This way, you’ll have fewer reflections. Thanks to the built-in speakers, you can listen to music or podcasts while you work without needing separate speakers or headphones.

Exellent mid range monitor

Exelent value, curved display
Great performer for price, very good colors, freesync, large screen
Mine had no single dead/stuck pixel, very good screen uniformity, no bleeding
Only minor flaw is not height adjustable, but i have gas spring arm, so problem solved (around 40e cost)

Exelent monitor, beautiful curved bezelles screen (have minor color distortion wnen not look straight like most VA panels), sturdy not wobbling stand. Im very pleased with purcahse. Have also Philips BDM3270QP which is profesional grade monitor and differences are not huge at all (plus 325e1c have higher refresh rate, smaller input lag and freesync). All in all for the price exelent purchase.

Very good monitor with good options for little money.

4K high resolution
Price is (quite) low
Multiple HDMI 2.0 connections (2 x)
Price increased due to Corona crisis (more home workers)

I had been looking for an affordable monitor with 4K for a long time. Unfortunately, prices everywhere went up due to the corona crisis. But because my wife and I both have to work from home, we still needed an extra monitor and so we bought it.

The short installation manual was good and the extensive manual was also clear. When securing the foot, make sure that you put it on properly.

Connecting to the PC is no problem at all and Windows 10 immediately recognizes the large 4K monitor. Separate drivers for the monitor are available from Philips, for better adjustment, but they are not necessary. The extra software that you can download from Philips does not add much to the use if you have Windows 10. For older versions of Windows, it may be possible. be useful. The great thing about this monitor is that there are 2 x HDMI2 connections available. Most other monitors in this price range only have 1 HDMI connection and we needed 2. It also contains stereo speakers, which can be set via the OSD settings (sound on/off/louder/softer) or can even be set directly via the buttons at the bottom edge of the screen.

For 'normal' use we set the Windows screen settings to 150%, making the letters and icons larger, because at 100% it is all very small. For games this is not necessary (just like with Adobe Lightroom) and with old games (legacy) it can even lead to problems. You can solve this by pressing the 'High DPI settings' button on the icon/program properties under Compatibility. On the next screen you can then check "Ignore high DPI scaling". After that, the game will start in the correct mode.

For photo editing (in our case with Adobe Lightroom) this monitor is really very good. You can literally see a lot more, both in numbers of small photos (Grid view) and the large photos themselves (Enhanced view or Loupe image).

NOTE: If you are considering this monitor, make sure that your PC/Laptop can handle high resolutions and that you have the correct connection for it. Only HDMI2 or DisplayPort1.2 are suitable for these high resolutions on this screen and if your PC/Laptop can only handle HDMI1.x it will not work.

Besides the power cable, a Displayport cable, HDMI cable and sound cable are also included. TIP: If you now have a monitor, replace the power cable with the new cable that came with this monitor. This one stays in place better than the old one (in our case).
