ITPro.co.uk, a website focused on business aspects of technology, security and IT, run by UK’s renowned Dennis Publishing, recently published a review of the Philips 346P1CRH and gave the monitor 5/5 stars and the “Editor’s Choice” award.

CONS
– Webcam mechanism is a little cheap (and the image quality not good enough)

(-) 1500R curvature is distracting at first, but not after use

(-) OSD is not the most intuitive


Verdict: “This screen brings new meaning to the word “versatile”. In fact, this screen is one of the best all-round productivity powerhouses we’ve ever seen. It’s not quite as expansive as Philips’ colossal 49in Brilliance 499P9H, but it’s also a much more manageable size with a more reasonable price and more uniform colours. If you’re looking for an all-purpose, future-proof monitor, you won’t get much better than this.”
