the deep blacks of certain scenes were a bit washed out

a USB-C charging hub
also falling behind in the contrast ratio comparison
The VAT amount will be deducted from the price shown above
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
their audio quality is mediocre
Downward-facing rear ports are generally hard to access
Philips Brilliance 279P1 is not quite as bright as the Philips 272P7VUBNB
brightness is locked to a high level
would be lost on models with weaker colour consistency
heavy powdery trailing with a somewhat smeary appearance in places
No additional monitor drivers or ICC profiles were specifically loaded
slower than optimal pixel responsiveness
low 60Hz refresh rate and lack of variable refresh rate
fonts and icons are a little too small for comfort
pixel pitch is pretty tight at 163 pixels per inch
cord on an USB-C is much smaller than an HDMI or display port cable
