Pros and cons

According to our monitor expert

You can synchronize your AMD video card with the monitor thanks to FreeSync technology, so you prevent stuttering while gaming.
With the 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, this monitor is suitable for competitive gaming at a high level.
Thanks to the curved screen, you can enjoy an immersive gaming experience.
A 34-inch ultrawide monitor takes up a lot of space, so make sure you have a large enough desk.
The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S don't support ultrawide settings, so you won't fill the entire monitor screen.

Description

Climb to the top of the online leaderboards with the Philips 34M1C5500VA/00 34-inch QHD 165Hz curved HDR gaming monitor. Thanks to the combination of the 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, you enjoy very smooth images even in the most graphically demanding situations. This way, you always have lifelike images and a clear edge over your opponents. In addition, the HDR10 support ensures extra deep colors. You can also immerse yourself in your games more thanks to the curved screen. It seems like you're right in the middle of the action that way, like in a cockpit or racing car. Have a separate AMD video card? No problem, turn on the AMD FreeSync Premium technology and synchronize your video card with the monitor. This way, you prevent stuttering and screen tearing and you can keep gaming smoothly. In addition, you enjoy sharp details while gaming thanks to the QHD resolution. As a result, your images are almost 2 times sharper than in Full HD and environments stand out more. More of a console gamer? Connect an Xbox Series X, Series S, or PlayStation 5 via HDMI 2.0 and enjoy 120Hz gaming in Full HD or QHD.

Note: the maximum refresh rate via HDMI is 100Hz. For 165Hz gaming, you have to connect the monitor via DisplayPort. You also need a powerful video card like the RTX 3080 or an Xbox Series X for QHD gaming.

Top screen with a competitive price

165hz
Very good image
Sturdy stand
The button on the back feels a bit fragile

I come from an ultrawide LG at 1080p and it was time for an update. Because this was an IPS screen, I had doubts, looked at many reviews about the advantages and disadvantages of VA versus IPS, and even considered Oled. Oled was not suitable for me because I am not a real gamer, I use the screens more for videos, productivity and producing music. Absolutely no regrets with my purchase! This screen has a really great picture, I was a bit skeptical about VA, but this was purely due to reviews on sites like Reddit, but I am very surprised. I bought a 34 inch and a 27 inch and hung them one above the other. The 34 inch is on the supplied stand, which is very handy, you can adjust the height in all directions. The 27 inch hangs on an arm. The foot on this screen cannot be raised or lowered and is less usable, but that is no problem for me. The 34 inch has speakers, I have not tried these. The 34 inch is connected via Displayport, which allows me to achieve 165hz. Via HDMI I have a nice 144hz on the 27 inch. I think the screen image is very good. The black is very nice and the colors stand out well. With the Philips app you can easily tune the screens to your own taste, contrast, colors, everything is adjustable within the app (Windows). I see reviews here with, among other things, "cannot be set up properly" or "the screen is too dark", but apparently these reviewers have not yet discovered the app. You can also change these settings via the button on the back, although this button feels a little less sturdy.

If you have any doubts, definitely try these monitors out, they won't disappoint!

Great monitor for a good price

Sharp image for gaming
Built-in speakers
Curved has something about the feeling that the game is around you.
Foot is not nice and a bit big. This may be proportionately smaller.

Great monitor. Unfortunately my first monitor was broken, but the 2nd was fine. Plug & Play gaming
