Pros and cons

According to our monitor expert

Work with sharp images thanks to the Quad HD resolution.
The IPS panel shows bright colors even when you’re viewing it from an angle.
The swiveling display lets you create a comfortable viewing angle and easily show your work to colleagues.
Because the monitor doesn’t have a built-in webcam, you’ll need a separate one if you want to make video calls.
The monitor isn’t suitable for daisy chaining, so you’ll need more cables if you want to connect multiple monitors.

Description

With the Philips 27B2G5500/00, you can work clearly and keep an overview while handling multiple tasks at once. This monitor displays images almost twice as sharp as Full HD thanks to the Quad HD resolution. This way, graphs and text stay easy to read when you open different windows side by side. The IPS panel shows colors vividly and offers wide viewing angles, so you can easily share your screen with colleagues. The swiveling stand lets you quickly turn the screen toward others, which is useful when you’re working together. The built-in speakers let you listen to music or podcasts without needing separate speakers or headphones.

Works well

Big screen
good camera
Lots of USB ports
Disabled USB power saving, does not work properly

We were looking for a long-term solution to connect the entire laptop with 1 USB C plug, i.e. a hub + screen. Unfortunately, there was no perfect solution on the market, but this screen is a solidly above average compromise device. Biggest flaw: No ethernet, needed an adapter (and coolblue didn't have anything that fit). But the integrated webcam makes up for a lot: no more fumbling or crooked heads during telework and school assignments. We notice that the USB power management does not work perfectly: During reboots, the screen sometimes goes into sleep mode and does not wake up again. We have turned off the USB power saving. We have connected USB: keyboard, mouse, headphones, EID reader, ethernet adapter. That sometimes turns out to be a bit much, and he randomly drops 1 or 2 devices. Plugging in the USB C cable again helps. The laptop gets 65W from the screen, which is enough for us, but heavy GPU users will want more. The whole works perfectly under Linux, by the way.

In short, not perfect, but much better than the other options in this price range.

Value for money

Have used the monitor several times now in different situations (Work, gaming, photo editing, watching videos, ...) and every time it does what it's supposed to do. Sound is ok but not as bad as described!

Excellent monitor

Very good image quality
Very thin edges
Adjustable in height

This was the only monitor I could find for this amount with such thin bezels and QHD resolution. Am very happy with it.
