Pros and cons

According to our monitor expert

Thanks to the 175Hz refresh rate and 0.1ms response time, you can game with very smooth images that are suitable for esports.
Colors, shadows, and other graphics come into their own better on the OLED screen.
You can experience games in an immersive way thanks to the light curve in the screen.
A 34-inch ultrawide monitor takes up a lot of space, so make sure you have a large enough desk.
The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S don't support ultrawide settings, so you won't fill the entire monitor screen.

Description

Enjoy a fast and immersive gaming experience with the Philips 34M2C8600/00 34-inch 175Hz QHD ultrawide curved gaming monitor. Thanks to the 175Hz refresh rate and 0.1ms response time, you can even play graphically-demanding games at the highest settings. Using an AMD video card? Enable on AMD FreeSync technology and synchronize your video card with the monitor. This prevents slowdowns and screen tearing, so you can continue to game smoothly. This monitor has an OLED panel, which means that the pixels in the screen make their own light. You can see realistic differences in the tiniest details that way. Combined with the QHD resolution and high coverage percentage within the DCI-P3 space, this ensures vibrant colors. You can also immerse yourself in your games thanks to the curved screen. It feels like you're in the middle of the action that way, like in a cockpit or racing car. More of a console gamer? Connect an Xbox Series X, Series S, or PlayStation 5 via HDMI 2.0 and enjoy 120Hz gaming in Full HD or QHD. You can also tilt, turn, or adjust the monitor in height and set up an ergonomic sitting position that way. This prevents neck and back complaints after a longer gaming session. Use the monitor for more than just gaming? Connect your laptop via USB-C and combine 3 tasks in one. This ports transmits image signals, transfers data, and charges your device with 65W of power. That way, your battery is always full while you game.

Note: the maximum refresh rate via HDMI is 100Hz. For 175Hz gaming, you need to connect the monitor via DisplayPort or USB-C. You also need a powerful video card like the RTX 3080 or an Xbox Series X for QHD gaming.

Review is 9,2 out of 10.

Excellent screen with minor drawbacks

Great picture, very tight
Very usable for both games and office work
Regular pixel recovery, non-functional for a few minutes every 4 hours (good for a break).

Very good, if not excellent picture, but with some drawbacks. However, as far as I'm concerned, these do not outweigh the quality, although I can imagine that not everyone will be happy with that. Some things could also be stated more clearly, although I understand that this is not very useful commercially. The menu takes some getting used to but OK.

Beautiful screen!

OLED colors and contrasts
Automatic KVM switch
Built-in speakers
Cable drainage

This is the first time I have an OLED monitor. My phone and TV already have an OLED screen, but this screen in combination with the curve and the ultra wide aspect ratio ensures that you are completely sucked into the games. The colors are beautiful straight from the box. The automatic KVM switch ensures easy switching between the work laptop and the gaming PC without having to replug cables. Ambilight makes looking at the screen a little more relaxing for a long time, but it works better on the TV. With this monitor I feel like it is a bit jerky at times. A few minor drawbacks are the limited cable drainage. The screen and base also take up much more space in depth on the desk due to the curve of the screen. For the time being, you don't have to worry about burn-in, which OLED screens are known for. There are various systems that ensure this. However, it certainly doesn't hurt to take still images into account.

All in all, I think it's one of the nicest and most versatile monitors money can buy right now.

Beautiful image with a few minor flaws

Image quality
Refresh rate
Ambilight
No matte screen

Beautiful image. High refresh rate and 0.1ms response time. Really an upgrade compared to my IPS screen.
The screen also has a number of functions to prevent burn-in as much as possible. You can turn this off if you want.
The true black of the screen comes into its own when it is a bit darker, but when it is light, it is also a particularly dark black.

The screen is not matte. At high brightness the reflections are not too bad and you usually don't see them. I have lights in the back of my room and I cannot see them in the reflection. But of course this depends on your environment and the brightness of the screen. It may help to tilt the screen downwards a little.
The thing that bothers me the most is the edge of the screen. They opt for a gray/silver edge here and that really bothers me at the moment. My previous screen had a black border and that looked a lot better.
If you want to hang the screen on a bracket or monitor arm, you must use the supplied adapter. This ensures that your screen becomes a few centimeters deeper. Depends on your situation, but for me my screen is now a bit closer than I am used to.
