PROS
Accurate and vivid out-of-box color
75Hz refresh rate
FreeSync
Solid video processing
Decent build quality
Good value
CONS
No USB ports [emphasis mine]
No speakers
Tilt-only stand
The review mentions but doesn't list as a con, that it has an VA panel, which they say:
Viewing angles
typically better than
TN, worse than IPS;
Good color;
Best contrast;
Best image depth
VERDICT
The Philips 326E8F leaves out a few non-essentials, like USB ports, speakers and a fancy stand. But it delivers bold and accurate color, excellent contrast and smooth video processing via FreeSync and 75Hz. Breaking price barriers for 32-inch screens, it’s definitely worth a serious look.
I'm almost talking myself into that display.
I don't know how much a similarly bare bones IPS monitor would cost.
