Overview

The Ultra Wide experience at your fingertips

The Philips 346B1C monitor features a 34" curved VA panel in Ultra Wide 21:9 format to give you a new level of comfort with more display area. The UWQHD resolution of 3440 x 1440 offers a high level of detail to make every content look authentic and the 100Hz refresh rate provides a significant smoothness bonus, especially in games. Using the integrated KVM, you can control two PCs separately with a single configuration (one keyboard, one mouse and one monitor). Thanks to Flicker Free and LowBlue Mode technologies, you can enjoy an optimal experience while preserving your eyes and use the USB-C port to get an all-in-one solution with your laptop!

More performance, more comfort

The UWQHD resolution of 3440 x 1440 with an aspect ratio of 21:9 delivers a crisp, thin image, allowing you to showcase all the content you're viewing with the curved VA panel. When gaming, the 100Hz refresh rate will come in handy for responsiveness, and Adaptive Sync will take care of screen tearing - win, win, win!

Your screen time should be as enjoyable as possible, and Philips understands this. The 346B1C therefore offers a number of features designed to make viewing more enjoyable: for example, Flicker Free technology eliminates flicker, Low Blue Mode limits blue light emissions and a sensor adjusts the brightness of the screen according to the ambient lighting.

Useful additions

Due to its large size, this monitor can act as two screens and has been equipped with a KVM switch that allows you to control two computers with a single screen/keyboard/mouse combination. With the dedicated button, you can switch between the two sources at will and work more productively.

The 346B1C also features a USB-C port in addition to the standard HDMI and DisplayPort connectors. Connect your laptop to this port and your peripherals will be connected directly to the monitor while you charge your machine!

    Incredible workspace

    I use this display as a station for a MacBook Pro in conjunction with a tower PC. MacOs, Windows, Linux, everything works perfectly.
    Charging via USB-C and the KVM switch makes for a perfectly clean and optimized desktop. I can use my favourite keyboard and mouse on all my computers without having to unplug and replug a lot of cables.
    The size and resolution of the screen makes it incredibly comfortable to work with. It's hard to go back to a regular small screen.
    I have found a monitor that covers all my needs.

    Great features

    The functionality of the screen is really up to scratch for me.

    I connect a laptop with USB-C, and a fixed PC with the USB-B upstream.

    On the screen, I connect keyboard, mouse, speakers, phone chargers.

    This allows me to quickly switch from one computer to another with a simple press on the dedicated button. Perfect for switching from work to home mode in these times of intensive telecommuting.

    Beware, if the sound goes through the screen, it also means that you won't get any sound when the screen goes to sleep. This is a consideration if the computer is used as a jukebox. I have used the screensavers of our youth instead of the "sleep" function.

    The feature that displays both screens simultaneously is a bit of a gimmick for me.


    At first I was a bit horrified by the picture quality, I found it droopy and not very good. But after a few adjustments (notably brightness and sharpness) it's perfect.

    I would recommend this product for its KVM functionality, and a good picture after some adjustments.

    Very good product

    perfect for professional use: excellent image quality, the curved side allows a better visibility of the whole screen, the anti-blue mode is of a very high quality. the ports are globally well positioned, even if the USB ports lack a bit of power if too many equipments are connected to it, especially for the charging of smartphones!)
    Screen size very well adapted when the depth of the desk does not allow to go far enough from the screen.
    Quite pleasant in games, as in video.

    Swiss Army knife screen

    Superb screen, with such a resolution the multi-window finally finds its place. In games the immersion is gripping, hard to go back to Full HD 16/9.
    The USB-C port is simply indispensable if you have a laptop - it's all there: DisplayPort Alt Mode (Thunderbolt 3 compatible), 90W computer charger, ethernet and USB hub.
    One plug and you're ready to go!
    The colours of the screen are beautiful, just lacking a bit of black. Covers the sRGB colour space sufficient for a computer today. Not HDR, but anyway useless because it is an LCD without local dimming (and still... long live OLED)
    In short, it's impossible to go back, the next screen will have to be even bigger with a higher resolution. The 21/9 format is perfect!

    Top image, perfectible hub

    Excellent image quality (the probe had almost nothing to do, I just adjusted the colorimetry because the 6600K measured by default are really too blue for me), stable stand, easy height and tilt adjustments, nothing to complain about.
    The USB-C hub is very practical (once the "USB Standby Mode" is activated, which is essential), but one point is very annoying: every time you wake up from standby, the screen resets the USB peripherals. If you're typing your password to unlock the computer at that moment, chances are it will miss a key or two and the entry will fail. Similarly, if you have an external hard drive plugged into the monitor and the computer goes into sleep mode during a copy, the drive is briefly disconnected when it comes out of sleep, which can crash an entire file system if the copy is not complete.
    So great screen, but beware of the sleep mode if you have important peripherals plugged in.
