AW3418DW was the first ultrawide monitor I wanted though I later eyed on LG monitors and bought LG 27UK600-W. I returned it to get LG 32UD99-W because 32UD99-W has a consistent color. During RMA waiting time, I found this amazing Philips ultra-wide monitor. If I remember correctly, I bought it within a few days and received it the day after.
OSD comes with a lot of features. Orbiting pixels. Individual pixels are hard to see. Zero dead pixel and zero light bleed. FreeSync 100Hz. (Still waiting for a capable GPU) Built-in speakers sound surprisingly good. Enough USB ports for keyboard, mouse and two USB drives.
NO redesign needed. I still am willing to pay more for an update version with more features.
• 5K ultra-wide resolution 5120x2160. • HDR with 10-bit panel. • Super USB hub: two USB up-stream with one click switch. • 2 HDMI + 2 DisplayPort. • Better looking OSD. (Not necessary) • Slimmer bottom. (Not absolutely necessary)
Pros: white color entire monitor., even cables are in one uniform color, excellent design, the curve!, 100 hz, ips
