Verdict: “The Phillips 34B2U5600C offers an interesting proposition for those who want a budget ultrawide monitor for productivity. It sports a 21:9 aspect ratio with a curved 34-inch VA panel, which operates a resolution of 1440p and a refresh rate that goes up to 120 Hz. Better still, there is a built-in KVM switch, USB Type-C, HDMI and DisplayPort connectivity options and even an RJ45 port […] In my case I had no issues whatsoever when it came to text legibility and thanks to its ultrawide format, it meant that I could snap windows to the left and the right. […] If you do want a game on the side, you will be pleased to know that this 34-inch curved VA panel gives you minimal amount of VA smearing and there’s also minimal amount of inverse ghosting as well, therefore it will certainly suffice if you’re playing more casual games.”
