REVIEW – Philips 326M6VJRMB 4K VA model with VESA DisplayHDR 600

REVIEW – Philips 326M6VJRMB 4K VA model with VESA DisplayHDR 600

By combining what we feel is something of a sweetspot for screen size at the ‘4K’ resolution with some decent HDR (High Dynamic Range) capabilities, the Philips 328P6VUBREB is an interesting choice. The overall design of the monitor, though, is something that won’t appeal to everyone. Indeed, it’s a design that various models from the ... Read More
