Philips Creator Series 27E2F7901 27" 4K UHD IPS Black Display, USB-C, Built-in KVM, Height Adjustable, Daisy Chain, PD 96W, MacBook/PC Compatible, 4-Year Advance Replacement

If you want a 27" inch monitor, this is it. The build quality is amazing. The 4K screen is amazing. The black pixel technology is no joke, it looks like an OLED screen. This isn't a gaming monitor, the refresh rate just isn't there... but that's not the point of this monitor. This is a creator's monitor. Color accuracy is very important, and this monitor does it very well. 10/10

I got the 27E2F7901 and WOW. I could not be more impressed at the quality for a monitor of this price. I got it at $280 and when I tell you how premium this thing feels... it's absurd. Not only are the colors incredibly accurate (hard to come by on a monitor this price) it's incredibly aesthetically appealing, and the build quality is phenomenal. The stand is solid aluminum, and if I'm not mistaken so are the sides. The bezels are literally smaller than they are on the apple studio display, and you can adjust the height, vertical orientation, tilt and anything else you can imagine, right out of the box - something you can't do even on the Apple Studio Display. Since it has 96w pwr delivery, I can still just charge my laptop and connect it all with one cable out of sight. Bloody magnificent. (worth noting it doesn't come with a USB-C thunderbolt 4 cable, so you will have to get one yourself if you want to do that). The ports on the back are amazing as well, I keep my SSD mounted on the back so anytime I'm using my laptop at my desk, it it's there and accessible for me."Cons"No it's not 5K - but you will not notice a difference if you sit at a reasonable distance. If you have scaling issues on mac, just download "Better Display" and it will fix it all for you.No it doesn't have a webcam - but honestly I use a camera for streaming anyway.No it doesn't have speakers - that's the only con I could see a reasonable complaint about, but if you're a musician like me you're going to have studio monitors anyway.There is some minor backlight bleed. But there also is on the Studio display, and it's the least I've seen on any monitor I've owned. It's not distracting unless for some reason you enjoy staring at a black screen.Anyway it's pretty unreal how good this display is. I never thought I would own something quite this premium. But lo and behold Phillips has delivered. Time will tell if it maintains it's quality, but for now, I'm floored.

UPDATE: USB-C connections failed on me already, I can not connect iPad Pro, iMac or even iPhone to mirror my screen. Also USB 3.0 connections does not see any connected hard drive. When I connect my phone for charging it repedetly chime the charging sound so I disconnect it right away before it screws my phone. I wrote those to Philips US website, nobody responded me at all. Definitely avoid this brand and device.PREVIOUS REVIEW: metal stand looks cool, back of the device looks like 5 dollar plastic Chinese toys. the square ring at the back of the metal stand is made of plastic as well and it came broken.despite the heavy metal stand, design and connection of the monitor to stand is prone to wobble. Just like any other monitor with same specs in LG, Dell, etc.Lastly the marketing images and script of the marketing videos mention heavily that this is a perfect match for your Mac computer, yet they do have a terrible OSD and their software for firmware update and further customization of the monitor called "Smart Control app" which is not available for Mac computers.. only for PC's. That's a good example of irony.If they change the base for me and roll out Mac version of an app to control contrast, brightness etc via software or basically thru apple keyboard, then I will add 2 more starts to this review...till then, so long and thanks for all the fish.

I just shifted away from an iMac and now work on a Mac Studio M2. I also edit video so I needed a color accurate monitor in 4K. So far so good.Colors are excellent, the 4K is crisp and sharp - but not over sharpened and the screen doesn't appear to have much vignetting in the corners. It feels evenly bright throughout.The support matches well with my Studio. It's made of aluminum and sits well - the monitor seems level on my desk.Lots of ports. I've never lacked for a port with my M2.The warranty is amazing. 4 years, no questions asked warranty on tech issues. I haven't needed to use tech support, but I'm fairly confident in the warranty being honored.The one gripe I have is that the monitor feels "plasticky". It's well built "enough" (it just sits on a desk), but it could feel a bit more solid.Just a great monitor and a good price for the money.

The media could not be loaded. So I was looking for a monitor to replace my old 1920x1080 monitor. I was pretty hesitant to buy this product when looking at the negative reviews, however, this product is exactly as advertised. The screen quality is so good it’s almost unreal to look at coming from someone who’s never used a 4K monitor. The color accuracy is also very good and colors are amazingly vibrant. I didn’t think I’d really care about was the stand when ordering this item but it is super flexible and you can pretty much have it at whatever angle you could ever possibly want which really exceeded my expectations.The only negative for this monitor is that it doesn’t have built in speakers, however, for the money you’ll be saving getting this rather than other monitors you could definitely spend it money on a speaker.I’d highly recommend this product for anyone who wants a cost effective high quality monitor.Edit: even after five months I’m still loving this monitor just wanted to update.
