Hi,

I bought this monitor in November and it was faulty. Every 1 or 2 hours it gives a loud click and the screen turns off and back again... That is a clear fault but PBTech "experts" said it is ok. They clearly did not sit in front of the monitor to find the fault...
I think it is a backlit protection. I recorded the fault and placed it on youtube and facebook https://youtu.be/j_XnG4R3m44 or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_XnG4R3m44

Their service specialists returned it to me back with a lot of fingerprints on the screen and back...
Service specialists supposed to ware gloves to keep it clean and do not spread COVID-19.

Software for multi-view does not start after rebooting and stops PC from shutting down, so have to confirm and start application every time...

Terrible service experience and faulty monitors...
Check it twice before buying from PBTech and it still can be faulty as in my case and warranty does not help..................

Very shame that for such a good size monitor Philips engineers did not install anti glair filter. I tried to work on this monitor half a day and suffered severe eye strain and headache. Black regions of the screen like mirror. And even bright areas have lots f reflections killing your eyes. WIll return item.

Got this 43" monitor to expand from a macbook pro. I am sitting at the minimum distance of 800mm from the screen which is possibly a little close but still very usable. Run from the macbook display port (lightning 2) the resolution and refresh for videos is great. The display excels at spreadsheets and maps. For satellite maps it is amazing. Had to make a mount to raise the screen to my preferred height and keep it at the back of the desk. The legs that come with the screen extend about 150mm behind the screen forcing the screen forward on your desk. No issues with reflection but I don't have a window behind me. Looked at TVs but this was the...view more Got this 43" monitor to expand from a macbook pro.

Looked at TVs but this was the best option for resolution and refresh rate from a macbook pro which requires displayport for best quality output.

Brilliant monitor - best feature is being able to split it into four even windows 1920 x 1080. Crystal clear and great for movies etc. Brilliant monitor - best feature is being able to split it into four even windows 1920 x 1080. Crystal clear and great for movies etc.

Image quality is plenty good and sharp for me using as a CAD monitor, as well as for casual gaming/movies etc.
Hard core gamers may want a faster refresh rate, but you would be lucky to find better 4K monitor at this size/price Image quality is plenty good and sharp for me using as a CAD monitor, as well as for casual gaming/movies etc.

Literally the day someone else posted a review regarding this monitor not having an anti-glare coating, I bought one. Had I known I certainly wouldn't have. I only got around to opening the box this week to find the same problem - it's unusable if there's any light source behind you. I work with a black background to reduce eyestrain. This is unacceptable - it is not the 1990s. Literally the day someone else posted a review regarding this monitor not having an anti-glare coating, I bought one.

A big desk helps :) A big desk helps :)

Good quality panel with sharp colours.
Very minimal bleeding on the edges.
Remote control is a bonus when using it as a TV.
Lacks HDR, but otherwise an excellent screen. Good quality panel with sharp colours.

Love the screen size, good for both office and photo use. Love the screen size, good for both office and photo use.

As a glasses wearer, I got tired of peering at a small monitor through the bottom of my bifocals. This monitor solved the issue. I now have the monitor pushed back far enough to focus without glasses and the large size more than makes up for the extra distance. The color on this is also pretty good, Photo editing is great with the 4k resolution and fairly accurate color's. The brightness level seems fine, It is rated a little low but I am not having any issues. A big concern for me was the input lag and refresh rate, I can report that the input lag is not detectable when using a display port cable. The 60hz may be a problem for serious gamers...view more As a glasses wearer, I got tired of peering at a small monitor through the bottom of my bifocals. This monitor solved the issue.

A big concern for me was the input lag and refresh rate, I can report that the input lag is not detectable when using a display port cable. The 60hz may be a problem for serious gamers but for my occasional casual gaming, it is acceptable. One big problem is that to actually play games at 4k you need an expensive graphics card. Playing at 1080p on a monitor this size is very noticeable, you can make out the pixels easily. However, 1440p is a good compromise. I recommend this monitor, it's cheap and seems to be of reasonable quality.
