PHILIPS 275V8LA - 27 Inch QHD Monitor, VA, 4ms, 75Hz, Adaptive Sync, Low Blue Mode, Flicker Free, Speakers, Vesa 100, Tilt (2560 x 1440 @ 75Hz, 250 cd/m², HDMI 1.4 / DP 1.2)

I returned an MSI Monitor that had problems combining with my PC - refusing to return from sleep/taking an age to start, adjustment issues. and other irritations.So, I tried this cheaper option with some trepidation.It is easily assembled - connected by HDMI cable. {HDMI included - N.B. No Display Port cable included}I use a monitor for general use/browsing, film, YouTube, live action/sport - most things other than gaming.Getting used to the set-up/controls with a new monitor is always a pain? This one was a little less so.The quality of the display pleases me and, Importantly it responds smoothly to controls from the monitor menu, third party software {Windows lacks an on screen brightness/contrast control} and Windows display settings.The range and level of brightness seems better than other monitors I've used, including the one recently returned.Build quality is as expected/adequate.The design is pleasing/unobtrusive.As expected, sound from the built in speakers is poor. It is adequate for system sounds only?For a 1440 monitor, it is good value and is recommended.It is very early days - I'll update if issues arise.

Great monitor, good colour and easily connects to laptop.

I bought this monitor to replace a dual purpose TV/monitor set-up that I had been using for work for some time (not good for the eyes).I actually went to a well known chain to buy the monitor because they were very close in price to anything on Amazon - unfortunately they did not have stock and I had an immediate requirement which Amazon fulfilled with next day delivery.On the plus side:This monitor is so much better than my original set-up in almost all respects. It is bigger (so more on screen), it is 6:9 widescreen; picture quality is amazing (my eyes are already feeling better), it is light and crucially for me, the top of the screen can be tilted slightly towards as well as away from the user (which helps to ease neck strain with my workstation).Set-up is easy, I literally plugged-in the supplied HDMI lead and I was good to go (there is also the option of DVI or VGA input). There is a one-touch Smart Screen feature which enables very easy personalisation of the screen to suit your preferences; I found this a useful feature.Price was good - this is a monitor for working only and I did not want to pay too much.Less favourable:Monitor height is fixed which is a shame.The sound quality from the built-in speakers is (at best) adequate; audio is tinny and lacks depth. This is perfectly fine for calls using Skype or Teams, you would not want to listen to music through these for long (I tried); I have already reverted to my old external speakers.Overall:This seems to be a very good monitor - and especially so at this price point. Picture quality is excellent but the sound quality does let it down.Highly recommended. One star deducted for the sound quality (which may be a little harsh but you can't give 'half stars').

Excellent quality picture, particularly for price.Lightweight. Entirely plastic build. Reasonable robust.Audio in and Audio out. Headphone socket on rear, would be better on side or under front edge. Easy to set up and use.

Safely packaged. Easy to set up (picture instructions). It took a few minutes to understand that when setting screen preferences, the arrows for toggling up/down etc were not via the keyboard, but the ones actually on the screen buttons! 😳 The default setting were fine for me.I had noted in other reviews, the sound was mediocre, but as I only use it to play music via Spotify (other music companies are available!!), it is fine. The sound was indeed quiet, so I set the default sound to 100% via the screen controls. This gave me maximum output, which I then controlled via the Spotify volume controls. It's not exactly Bose(R), but it is fine for background music while I'm working (it is a little "tinny" compared to my old Optronix screens' speakers, but it's fine).The screen itself has a clean, neat finish and the actual screen is matt, so no glare. I am used to a 19", square screen which i was able to access without needing to turn my head to see the whole thing, so this wide screen will take some getting used to but I'm sure I will in time! Overall, I am pleased with it for the money. Time will tell....

Works well. Smart input switching..Excellent image quality. 2560 x 1440 resolution. Good product.

Very satisfied - great value for money and installed in 5 minutes

great size and picture. easy set up, very quiet sound, got it on full, not that important for me,
