Hi everyone I'm Ricky from TechTalk and this
is my review of the curved ultra wide
display with USB C dock from Philips so
massive thank you goes to Philips who
have supplied this monitor for me to
review the model number for this is 349
p7f you bb there will be a link in the
description as well to Philips websites
so with this monitor you can simplify
your connections thanks to a USBC
connection so with just one USB C
connection from your device that is
capable you can then charge that device
and then use the connect abilities on
the back to then at different ports and
have different equipments thanks to USBs
and also a hdmi and displayport this
monitor offers a curved display which
means it's in a more immersive
experience so talking more about the
displays a 34 inch display or eighty six
point three six centimeters depending on
your choice to an LCD panel that offers
a wide quad HD resolution of 3445 1440
resolution the actual panel inside is a
multi-domain
vertical alignment panel or a m.b.a
panel which is a midline LCD panel so as
you can see when looking around this
once it offers narrow border display
with seamless appearance which is really
good they're ultra narrow bezels which
is a good thing if you want to add a
multi-monitor setup system to your
desktop and enjoy these monitors whether
surround feeling as well being immersed
in that curved display to actually see
with the images and the videos that i've
shown on this display but I'm talking
about key features you'll notice it has
an ultra wide color wide range of colors
to give a vivid picture making your
content even more enjoyable so with this
monitor it offers a low blue mode which
means that your eyes will get less
fatigue and productivity can carry on
for longer which is really good to see
on this display this display offers a
great feature I've also shown and other
Philips displays which is a multi view
option which enables dual connect to
view at the same time which means you
can see two different sources one from
the HDMI a one from the DisplayPort I
have tested so I could have my MacBook
up and running see my content my social
media but then play some Xbox or watch
something called Apple TV or connect any
device that I want to connect to so you
can use picture and picture mode or
picture by a picture this monitor offers
a hundred Hertz refresh rate for ultra
smooth images navigating your
like simple and easy thanks to joystick
control stick system which is located on
the bottom right hand corner just at the
back and I think this is one of the best
ways to get around your monitor so no
fiddly buttons as long as you know the
directions and I'm going to show you now
to press him first of all to the left
hand side you've got the smart image
preset and inside here there's loads of
different choices as you can see you can
scroll through here and choose the best
one for you so if user productivity or
even if you were easy reading there as
well you've got off issues you've got
movie use you've got that low blue mode
as well to make it easier on your eyes
and less fatigue well you have the
option of off pressing to the right will
actually dismiss this menu I actually
choose an option for you so if we go in
here choose this option you can see it's
gonna stay that color now so patting
down will change your source options and
you can go through your source and you
also have an auto option again pressing
to the right will actually make this
come true just leaving it will dismiss
if you toggle to the right this will
bring up your menu system here your menu
system is very nice and easy to read
through and to fly through as well you
have a great range of languages preset
into the display as well the one little
letdown is the volume when it comes to
volume which is here going to volume
then with a joystick you go up and down
to control your volume there's no
separate volume control which is
slightly annoying but our two five watt
speakers built into the display offer
very good sound I'm quite impressed with
the sound level on here so dismissing
the menu each pressing to the left and
pressing the right will make become true
if you actually press the button in on
your display that's put your monitor
into sleep pressing it again will wake
it back up to the best feature for me
which I've saved to last is when you
press up on the joystick so this will
give you picture by picture or picture
in picture and then the ability to swap
as we're doing this I'm just going to
power on the Xbox so the Xbox is
connected via the HDMI connection my
MacBook is connected via the display
ports so now these should be all up and
running I'm going to go
picture-in-picture you may have the same
issue that's come up for me here but
it's actually showing both DisplayPort
and HDMI on the same screen he don't
want maxed we need to do is go into your
menu then go down to the setting here
come down and then you're gonna change
your ports to the HDMI there's a HDMI
2.0 as you can see in the bottom corner
now we have Xbox so you can also move
this around as well so if we go back
into the menu system very easy very
quick to navigate as well if we go down
here go
here you can change the size which is
good and also you have position so I can
change the position to anywhere that I
want then I can start enjoying my gaming
session so if I want to actually do more
gaming but keep an eye on social media
what I can do is press up and then what
we can do here swap one little flick the
button if it time it will swap round so
now I have now got my macbook pro
through the display port in the top
corner here which is really good so I
can keep an eye on stuff and then I can
get into my gaming and really enjoying
my gaming or so the other option this
monitor offers you is picture by picture
so what this will do is split screen
into two and then you have picture by
picture and then you can do more space
as well and then you have more
productivity going on which is a great
feature then to turn this off just flick
up and go down to the office will turn
this off and then it will go into the
main source which was the Xbox so now I
want to show you some gaming from the
Xbox one X on this display this monitor
is great for productivity but it's also
great for gaming I've used my xbox one X
on this haven't had any issues it won't
play in 4k as it's coming through the
HDMI cable but it tries to push out the
best resolution possible and what I
thought I'd do is show you a bit of the
new FIFA 19 demo that's just landed
yesterday I believe so the speakers are
2 5 watt speakers at downward firing
that sound really good an exciting
occasion stands before us here on the
big European stage tonight
I'm regaining possession very sorry
cleverly that's an interesting path
sometimes you staple up next to arrest
me right what do you think how much did
it cost
how fast can it hit a hundred I tell you
what I think I see potential
I see the knife's edge of control that
split second where I put everything on
the line I see myself when you know yeah
right there this is need for speed
footage of payback just want to show you
around here
and he can open the city block by block
hot dogs and be don't let it go you kid
I guess miss feed Raptors
every day I get to take deep you left
I don't race anymore that's the deal
no more racing straight to jail
and that's gaming on the Xbox one here
so it's really enjoyable the massive
display really draws you into the
content it really pulls you in and it's
a really nice large panel as you can see
with the Xbox one X it doesn't matter
about the quad wide HD here it's just
fit into the service it's been great
colors are very good very
representational of the normal colors
and also the response time is very good
as well so I've enjoyed using this
monitor for gaming so let's switch back
but this monitor you do get the smart
compact economic base from Philips which
offers you a great adjustability with
your monitor to put in the correct
position for you so first of all I want
to talk about the height so the height
has a hundred and eighty mils difference
so you can go really low down or really
high up or that is 18 centimeters so
first of all let's take it all the way
down just one hand just push all the way
down but as you can see here it's very
low to the base and really good to use
if you want to use it this way if you
want to go all the way up like I said
it's a hundred and eighty and now she
can see that's quite a height adjustment
ability there so moving on this monitor
has the ability to swivel as well and it
has a great range of swivel so it has a
hundred and seventy degrees each way so
if we swivel this round just be careful
with your cables if you've got cables
connected you can swivel this all the
way around nearly 180 degree opposite
direction to you but as a hundred and
seventy degree angle of swivel can
really adjust this to where you want it
to be so with the column here you can
see a side profile of the monitor I just
bring this around ultra narrow bezels
the ultra and our finish to the monitor
which is really nice here coming around
you can see that curve there and also
you can see as well you also have a
hundred and seventy eight degree viewing
angle so you can see the viewing angle
is very good as well so if I bring this
around even further you can still see
them colors there as well to finish with
this you have one final motion which is
the tilt option so you have a minus five
so this is a minus five very minor and
then you also have a plus 20 which is
quite a lot different so as you can see
for all these options you have such a
great adjustability options and
flexibility of the monitor thanks for
that smart compact economic base from
to put the display where you need it for
your long hours of productivity or even
longer hours of gaming and enjoying
content so just to finish out I want to
turn around and show you the back of the
monitor and your connect ability options
so as you can see we've got one HDMI
port here you've then got a display port
as well there is your USB C for docking
so you can use this as a dock as I have
mentioned before then also you've got
three USB 3s there and the first one is
a fast charging option then you have an
audio in then you have a headphone jack
and then you have your power so behind
your column you can see a little black
button you press this in to release a
column and you can also use a VESA mount
so 100 by 100 best amount to mount your
monitor if you so wish doing so moving
on and giving my personal thoughts and
feelings just to wrap up the video so
I've really enjoyed this displays been
with me now three to four weeks it's
worked every single time I plug it into
my Mac throat and every time I've used
my laptop monitor has been on giving me
an ultra wide display there's immersed
me in with that curve and using the
Philips brilliance crystal clear quad HD
inside as well it's just been so
enjoyable to use I haven't add any
technical issues with it it's just
worked and that's what you want from a
monitor some of the key aspects I want
to just highlight which I spoke about in
my review is a multi V technology which
is really exciting to use and really
great to have so you can actually have
picture and picture or picture by
picture which I did show you so if you
are someone that does own a notebook
laptop or Chromebook that uses USB C as
its main connection for charging this
monitor could be for you where you could
actually lose all of them cables you
could use just one cable to dock your
device into the monitor and giving you
power to your device and giving you
extra ports and connects ability at the
rear which is really good to see so one
thing I really do like when I get a
Philips monitor to review is a smart
image preset and there are a lot here to
choose from to help choose the best
productivity you're doing or whatever
sort of content you're looking at you
can choose the best one for you so with
that as well you've got four
milliseconds of response time from 100
Hertz refresh rate which is really nice
to use on the gaming side as well when
you're finished down in your
productivity so finally I just want to
thank you guys for sitting and watching
the review and I hope you enjoyed this
