Philips - B-Line 346B1C 34" LCD Curved UltraWide Adaptive Sync WLED LCD Monitor (DisplayPort, USB, HDMI) - Textured Black

The USB-C connection is great and how it charges my laptop. One less cord to connect to my laptop.

Part of my responsibility is to research computer equipment. While researching monitors, I discovered this Philips 346B1C. I purchased one for myself and tested it for several months. The monitor has a docking station with adequate ports, RJ45, and USB-C to charge my laptop. Our company is delighted with the product, and the monitor's demand increases daily. My only complaint is the lack of inventory. These are hard to come by, and the wait time can be months for delivery.

I purchase these by the dozen for my workplace. They are reliable and have a lot of functionality for the same price as less capable monitors. Philips is a quality brand I trust.

I have used this monitor for a few years for work MacBook Pro, and my gaming rigg (self built). Although I would like the KVM to auto switch between machines, I'm glad it doesn't completely automatically. If my Mac goes to sleep it will switch over to my MS gaming rigg. Like and dislike that. Took me a couple call when I first got it to understand how to make it work for me specific application, but it has done so flawlessly ever since. My Mac gets powered from the monitor and no need any other cord than the USB-C. I use this monitor for gaming. Guild Wars 2 runs great, everything runs great and looks clear. Blacks are dark and whites are bright. When playing FPS I still don't notice and difference but by specs the 4 ms refresh rate and 100 khz is slow by specs. I would give this a 5 stars and more than likely should, but going to ding it due to the latest specs for a monitor of this size.

I do like this monitor - so much in fact, after I bought one for my home office, I bought one (on my own dime) for my work office. The ability to plug in all my USB peripherals without needing a hub and the fact I can leave my power cord in the computer bag is amazing.
