This is a review for the Philips 325E1C 32" Surper-Curved [sic] Frameless Monitor, Quad HD 2K. Hope I'm not the only one to have caught the spelling error. But if you didn't see it before you can't unsee it now. :D
My monitors arrived in perfect condition with zero stuck pixels. I'm running both on DP 1.2 with an GTX 1650 Super as the source. I was upgrading from dual 27" flat displays.
My first impression with the 32" Super-Curved QHD displays was just how comfortable they were by comparison to my old 27" flats. Despite being substantially larger, the content appears much closer due to the high rate of curvature. (1500R). It's a true panoramic experience.
I don't see any distortion or 'pin cushion' effect. I have heard others complain about distortion but it isn't an issue in my case at all.
Being a VA (vertical alignment) panel, both contrast and color are very nice. Although a full IPS panel is going to have the best quality image in terms of color accuracy, I think this VA panel is perfectly acceptable for photo and art applications. That said, it's worth noting that there is a very slight backlight bleed at the edges. You have to be on a pure black background and in a dark room to really see it clearly but it's not non-existent.
The 75Hz refresh is plenty high for what I do, but some gamers may want to consider a higher refresh TN display because there is very noticeable horizontal blurring.
Overall I couldn't be more satisfied. I am very happy with the price, quality and warranty.
