Philips has unveiled a new curved display aimed primarily at business users, while also offering some capabilities for entertainment as well. The Philips 346P1CRH monitor supports USB-C docking, an integrated KVM switch, a webcam, and an Ethernet port.
The Philips Brilliance 346P1CRH is a 34-inch LCD featuring a 3440×1440 resolution, 500 nits brightness, a 3000:1 contrast ratio, 4 ms response time, 178º/178º viewing angles, and a 100 Hz refresh rate with VESA’s Adaptive-Sync variable refresh rate technology on top. The monitor can display 16.7 million colors and reproduce 120% of the sRGB, 90% of the DCI-P3, and 88% of the Adobe RGB color gamut. Furthermore, the LCD is DisplayHDR 400 certified, which — in addition to Adaptive-Sync — will be nice bonuses for those who plan to use the product not only for work, but for entertainment as well.
Connectivity capabilities of the Philips 346P1CRH are among the key selling features of the device, as many people use multiple PCs and therefore need a decent set of connectors as well as an integrated KVM switch. The monitor can connect to hosts using one DisplayPort 1.4, an HDMI 2.0 port, and a USB Type-C connector that can also deliver up to 90 W of power. Meanwhile, the display also has a DP output for multi-monitor configurations. In addition, the LCD has quad-port USB 3.2 hub, a GbE port, 5W speakers, a 2 MP Full-HD camera with a built-in microphone, and a headphone jack output.
When it comes to ergonomics, the Philips 346P1CRH monitor is equipped with a stand that can adjust height, swivel, and tilt. Meanwhile, since we are dealing with a curved monitor, it naturally only works in landscape mode.

This one has a webcam whereas the 346B1C does not. Otherwise, I agree, they look the same minus the useless HDR400 cert.dullard - Tuesday, March 10, 2020 - link
Why can't anyone designing monitors for offices ever try working in an office? Excel, Programming, etc. all require massive amounts of vertical scrolling. More vertical pixels = more productivity.Let me say that again, more vertical pixels = more productivity.
No more of this 21:9 shortscreen crap. With Microsoft Word's ribbon (and default settings), 1440 vertical pixels will only let you see a full page at 100% zoom if you maximize the window. 1600 pixels is so much better to work with.

1440 pixels letting you see the whole Word document is only true in North America using 8.5"x11" paper. Most of the rest of the world uses A4 paper and needs even more vertical pixels.Valantar - Wednesday, March 11, 2020 - link
That depends on display scaling and zoom in the text editor, no? I have no trouble fitting several A4 pages on my 27" 1440p monitor ...inighthawki - Wednesday, March 11, 2020 - link
To each their own, then. As a programmer I absolutely hate using monitors in portrait mode. I strongly prefer being able to tile more documents side by side than seeing more of a single document. I have never had an issue using Word, Excel, VS, or any other productivity tool with 1440p.Please dont pass off your own opinion as fact.

It's supposed to be used as at least two screens. Nobody should be maximising one window on this, unless it's a video or a game.inperfectdarkness - Monday, April 6, 2020 - link
It's the Luddites that keep the market churning out non 2160p screens.willis936 - Tuesday, March 10, 2020 - link
This seems a little amazing for the price. Nearly all peripherals a computer needs except mouse and keyboard plus a USB hub sporting an ethernet port and an integrated KVM for 500 euros? Where’s the catch?Valantar - Wednesday, March 11, 2020 - link
Hm. Given that this is a 100Hz monitor, is it based on previous-generation VA panels (like all those older 100Hz ultrawide VA panels) or is it just a slower clocked SKU from the newer, faster panels? The newer ones are supposedly much better, so a confirmation of this would be very nice.
