Our review
The Philips 346P1CRH combines a curved IPS panel, USB-C, and speakers for a very complete ultrawide office setup. Color rendering is noticeably more accurate than VA alternatives. Its 100Hz refresh rate lags behind pure gaming models, though.
Frequently asked questions
What resolution does the Philips 346P1CRH run at?
The panel shows 3440x1440 pixels across 34 inches, around 110 pixels per inch. That is an ultrawide format, the equivalent of two windows side by side with no bezel in the middle. The IPS panel keeps colours stable whatever the viewing angle.
Is the Philips 346P1CRH a good monitor for gaming?
Partly. The panel reaches 100 Hz, a step above the usual 60 Hz, which is fine for relaxed solo play. Fast paced titles, though, benefit from 144 Hz and above, which this model does not offer. The 34 inches at 3440x1440 also weigh on the frame rate the graphics card can hold.
Does the Philips 346P1CRH have a USB-C connection?
Yes, a USB-C port sits on its connection panel, which keeps the number of desk cables down. Beyond that it offers HDR, a height adjustable stand, built in speakers and a curved panel. The adjustable stand saves you from adding a riser to line the panel up with your eyes.
Is the Philips 346P1CRH worth 94 euros?
At 94 euros it scores 4.4/5 across 750 Amazon reviews. The score sits in the healthy middle of the comparison. It sits in the Ultrawide category of our selection. Main strength: USB-C with charging. Main compromise: 100Hz rather than 144Hz+.
