Is the really rather large Philips 329P1H monitor good for work AND play?
out there? We strive to find out. The 329P1H is a 4K screen similar to Dell’s P3222QE, cramming eight million pixels into a space the size of two pizza boxes. This is the size at which the higher resolution begins to make sense, as while 27in 4K screens are common, they might be better served by being 1440p/QHD, as this would bring the price down and reduce the GPU power required to push so many pixels 60 times a second. At 32in, however, 4K makes more sense.
The desk-dominating size means the 329P1H comes with a large stand with an equally vast footprint that connects to the VESA mount, and we had trouble fitting it onto a third-party monitor arm due to the mount being recessed into the body of the screen.
While it’s possible to pick the screen and stand up with one hand, you won’t want to be shuffling it around on your desk too much. The foot takes up a lot of space, and while it provides a stable platform that’s highly adjustable, it’s a screen that’s probably better suited to an arm, especially if used as part of a multi-monitor setup.
The colours from it are sharp and punchy, and it would make an interesting screen to put a streaming stick in the back of and pull double duty as a media player... the only letdown is a common one: the built-in speakers. They’re the usual sort of 3W afterthought, not really meant to be used for more than the alert that sounds when you get a new email.
