Philips 346B1C is a new 34-inch ultra-wide monitor

Philips 346B1C is one of the first productivity-focused curved displays in the industry to offer a 21: 9 aspect ratio, as well as a maximum refresh rate of 100 Hz, an integrated Gigabit Ethernet connection, and even VESA Adaptive Sync.

The Philips 346B1C is powered by a 34-inch VA panel with a resolution of 3440 × 1440, 300 nits of brightness, a contrast ratio of 3000: 1, a response time of 5 ms GtG, a maximum refresh rate of 100 Hz and 178 ° / 178 ° viewing angles.

The monitor is capable of displaying 16.7 million colors, covers 119% of the sRGB color profile, 90% of Adobe RGB, and 100% of the NTSC color space. Furthermore, it is calibrated at the factory with a precision of Delta <2 for the sRGB range.

The monitor has a DisplayPort 1.2 input, an HDMI 2.0 port and a USB 3.2 Type-C input. The latter supports power of up to 90W, making it suitable for powering even high-end 15-inch laptops. In addition, the monitor offers an integrated Gigabit Ethernet port, a four-port USB 3.2 hub, and a headphone output.

Last but not least, the display has a built-in KVM switch that allows two PCs to be controlled using a display, mouse and keyboard. One thing to note is that when the LCD uses a USB-C connection, it can only support 3440 × 1440 @ 100Hz when the input USB connection that powers the USB hub is set to 2.0, presumably because the wide mode Full band requires the 4 high-speed lines of the USB-C connection.

The Philips 346B1C will be available next month. Its price will be around 600 USD.
