limbs? Surely not.
So having five clearly labelled buttons laid out along the front bottom bar to access all your settings is a relative godsend here. As befits a no-nonsense business monitor, this Philips model knows how to keep things nice and easy. This is particularly useful if you are sharing your monitor with other workers in a hot-desking setup and want to revert to your desired settings without suffering injuries to your wrist, elbow and shoulder.
The stand has a bulky base, and I was a little bit disappointed that it doesn't have the hexagonal design of some recent Philips monitors I've received. The height and width of the base means that if you have a very compact desk without a keyboard tray, you can't slide a raised keyboard over the edges to save space like you can with the hexagonal version, but it does weigh down and stabilise the screen very effectively, which is good.
However, without a rated Adobe RGB figure and a pixel density of only 109PPI, it won't be enough for creative pros to use it as a main work monitor. It will do its job well though, if what you need is a supporting second screen while doing higher-res work on a sharper laptop monitor, or less high-demand photo-editing or creative work.
The webcam is serviceable, and certainly good enough for most video-conferencing purposes, but like stated above, if you need a proper HD/4K camera for professional/streaming purposes, you'll need to invest in an external piece of kit. The mic, meanwhile, performs excellently, picking up speech clearly from across a room and while moving around.
