Processing and mobility
The 34M2C8600 is the only 34-inch QD OLED that you can get with an all-white look. This probably doesn’t suit everyone’s setup, but if you’re explicitly looking for a white OLED monitor – you’ll find it here. In my opinion, the workmanship has been implemented very well. Unfortunately, the monitor has active cooling, which means that a fan is installed. I could only hear the fan when my ear was directly above the monitor. In other words, you won’t hear it at a normal sitting distance.
In terms of ergonomics, the Philips offers everything except portrait format. What I like best is the Ambiglow. On the one hand, you really get RGB lighting here, which also manages to illuminate the area behind the monitor. Secondly, there is a really cool synchronization with what is currently running on the panel. If you don’t want any lighting, you can switch it off completely. A matter of taste, as always.
Connectors, cables and accessories
I would say the full program. The only point of criticism: why only HDMI 2.0? This limits you to a refresh rate of 100 Hz. Of course, there is also a KVM switch and a power supply of up to 90 watts is also possible. All cables are also included to connect at least two devices. I would opt for DisplayPort and USB-C here, as you always have the maximum refresh rate. HDMI would only be an emergency scenario for me.
OSD
The OSD menu is just like all the others. Various presets are available – including a dedicated sRGB emulation mode. For HDR, there is a choice between True Black 400 and three different Peak 1000 Nits presets (but more on this later). In terms of OLED care, there is: Pixel Shifting, Screen Saver and Pixel Refresh. Philips offers a three-year warranty including burn-in – very commendable. You can also set the fan to Quiet, Auto or even off. To what extent does off affect the durability of the panel? I would recommend Auto, because you can’t really hear the fan. And the lucky buyer will find out the other settings for themselves in the end.
Software
There is also OSD software for the Philips and you can find it: (Click here!) Under Drivers and Software you will find a V6.18.0 zip file with 140 MB, this is the SmartControl software.
This allows you to set up the essentials quickly and easily and check for firmware updates. The control works via DisplayPort, but you should also connect the USB-B cable to the PC for firmware updates.
