Mostly incompatible with Mac and useless customer
Despite Philips stating everywhere this monitor is compatible with Max OSX most of the key features DO NOT work with Mac OSX Monterey. Customer support is most unhelpful and said we should contact Apple.

USB-C connection
This monitor works fine with HDMI and Display ports. My problem is I cannot find a USB-C cable that is compatible with the monitor. I bought 4 different USB-C cables, all with display capabilities up to 4K and 8K but none of them was able to display. I do not know its a problem with the monitor or I need to get a specific USB-C cable.

Great size, awful blacks
I needed a monitor to pair with my older Philips 328B (a couple of years old, lower resolution), so thought this would be perfect.However side by side the difference is palpable, the old monitor has deep blacks and vibrant colour. This new one looks washed /out and pale in comparison. I've tried all the different colour settings, adjusted gamma, contrast and picture mod...

Love the USB-C connection
The USB-C connection is great and how it charges my laptop. One less cord to connect to my laptop.

Great monitor but why doesn't the webcam work
The 242B monitor is really a good purchase, plenty of handy features to get the screen the way you want it. However you can't get the webcam to work with Windows so whats the point of it. I'm going to have to get ta separate webcam. Not happy about that.

Outstanding monitor
Part of my responsibility is to research computer equipment. While researching monitors, I discovered this Philips 346B1C. I purchased one for myself and tested it for several months. The monitor has a docking station with adequate ports, RJ45, and USB-C to charge my laptop. Our company is delighted with the product, and the monitor's demand increases daily.

Excellent value
I purchase these by the dozen for my workplace. They are reliable and have a lot of functionality for the same price as less capable monitors. Philips is a quality brand I trust.

Excellent general purpose monitor
I bought this monitor to use with both a Mac computer and an older PC, and it works really well with both (the Mac via the HDMI input, the PC via the DVI input). The screen is excellent, and the monitor has numerous features such as power and light sensors, LowBlue mode, excellent colour gamut, good viewing angle, and adjustments for height, pivot, swivel and tilt. It c...

Had this monitor for a few years now
I have used this monitor for a few years for work MacBook Pro, and my gaming rigg (self built).
Although I would like the KVM to auto switch between machines, I'm glad it doesn't completely automatically. If my Mac goes to sleep it will switch over to my MS gaming rigg. Like and dislike that.

Works as expected
The monitors were easy to assemble and set up with my PC. They didn't require as much space as I initially thought (my desk is 1400mm x 750mm) and fit that space comfortably. I was pleasantly surprise by the amount of height adjustment provided, considerably more than most I had seen/researched prior to buying.

An excellent monitor for my MacBook Air M1
I gave this a four start rating instead of a five star rating simply because it took so long to locate the Philips USB-C to USB-C cable i needed to use it with my MacBook. The monitor was supplied with 4 different cables, none of which could be used. After two weeks of emails, Philips in Canada supplied me with the Full USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 5A CM-CM cable. Hopefully, the com...

One of the best Ultra-wide monitors
At first 100 Hz, 4 ms refresh rate doesn't impress anyone. But this monitor has surpassed all my expectations. Crisp and clear display, a bunch of USB ports, built-in KVM for connecting two computers at the same time and sharing the keyboard/mouse, USB-C that delivers both power and act as display cable, built-in ethernet port and the ergonomics to tilt/swivel and adjus...

Premium monitor for a budget price
I got this one for my macbook, and so far I'm really pleased with it.
The USB-C docking station that charges my laptop, and wide screen allows me to run multiple windows, are the features I was looking for.
This is the cheapest monitor on the market with these options, and I was sceptical about it. Wasn't sure about the quality, etc., but it deserves a solid 5-star ...

great monitor that cleans up a lot of wire mess
I do like this monitor - so much in fact, after I bought one for my home office, I bought one (on my own dime) for my work office. The ability to plug in all my USB peripherals without needing a hub and the fact I can leave my power cord in the computer bag is amazing.

Good value but PIP will NOT work if USB-C is main
I really was drawn to this monitor to have my MacAir M1 plugged in via USB-C, using this monitor as a hub. Works well! Even Lan Cable included in HUB setup (few monitors do this) so far so good.
BUT, if you like to add a HDMI device as second source (Raspberry Pi or another PC), that you can NOT(!) use the PIP/or side-by-side picture mode.

Good monitor, but rough around the edges.
At its core, this is a good quality monitor. The image quality is good and the resolution is high. However, the claim that it is 'frameless' on 3 sides is misleading in my view. But for the price, it is a decent package for my primary use which is business. I bought this monitor for the USB-C connectivity which is excellent, meaning I can plug in my Macbook Pro with jus...

Pretty good for home office
I've been using the monitor for a couple of months and I'm pretty happy with it. USB hub with RJ-45 port works perfect for me and resulted in a very clean look. Display and camera is pretty good. Can't say the same about microphone and speakers unfortunately.
