I've included photos showing the backlight uniformity in one of my more recent reviews: th-cam.com/video/KwyQO3FuQqw/w-d-xo.html Starting at about 4: 30. It has a very good uniformity especially when considering the price. But please keep in mind that this can vary highly across different copys of the same monitor.
This is the GOLD STANDARD for a technical review. I bought one of these monitors yesterday (to learn graphic design) due to its colour reproduction quality. I can’t see anything else on the market at this price point that matches it in terms of gamut coverage and accuracy.
i think this is the best review i've seen on this monitor. would you say this monitor is also good for office work, reading text etc.? and does the profile also work on a mac?
I can only second what most of the comments are pointing to. Most of the reviewers "treat" their viewers as if assuming they can't read the basic specifications of a product. Great job!
I just got one of these monitors. I think it´s good so far. Colors are good and it has nice viewing angles. I just have 1 BIG complain about it: It doesn´t go dim enough. Most monitor manufacturers promote the max brightness but they never tell you about the minimum brightness. If you enjoy working with dim lights at night like me, this monitor is going to hurt your eyes.
@@leonvex the model I got doesn't have built in speakers. Even if it had them I'm sure I wouldn't use them, by experience I know that built in speakers are bad. A cheap set of 2.1 speakes would do a way better job
Excelent review I was about to buy a BenQ GW2480 and while that's still a good monitor this Philips out-class it while being a little bit cheaper. I probably will miss the cable managment capabilities that the BenQ one has but for better color aquracy it's worth it.
Maaaaaan, i was struggling last 10 years, i controlled brightness via monitor buttons. And now i found clickmonitorddc. Thank you so much, really. You made my life better.
Thank you so much for this review, it was very in-depth and basically informed me of everything I wanted / needed to know. I was having such a hard time trying to find anyone else reviewing this monitor, since I am planning to buy this. Definitely deserve more views and subs. Hope I can come back to your channel if I ever need to again. :)
Thank you man. I was looking exactly this kind of review because the specs were too good to be real. I am now ordering the monitor because even monitors like dell u2419h got terrible results. And i need some good sRGB monitor for animaton. Keep up with the good work, Subscribed!!
Any photographers have experience with this monitor and its colors? I'm considering the BenQ GW2480, but it seems like I'll get better color accuracy from the Philips! Also, LOVE this review! No other channel I've seen goes in such QUALITY depth! Appreciate you!
Glad I could help! I didn't mention what's in the box. Such information can usually be easily taken from the spec sheet and I therefore think it doesn't add much value to the video. Box content of the JAB is: - Monitor with stand - Cables: HDMI cable, Power cable - User Documentation So no Displayport cable. Btw. Skinflint UK is a great place to quickly find specs sheets: skinflint.co.uk/a1816797.html
love this video man. you are awesome. you deserve way more man.keep doing the good work. i've seen thousand of videos with millions of views that are shits. but your video was really informative.
Awesome Job! thank you so much! Its such a shame that people have to know that stuff for the best experience. i work as Media Designer. All this settings are so important in some ways. Thank for that!
Thanks for the in-depth review. I got a doubt between Philips 246E9QDSB, LG 24MK600M and LG27MK600M. Mainly because the LG models can't support sRGB and the colour range of the Philips are wide (72% vs 108% according Displayspecification website). The main difference between LG models are DPI and inches. Whats your opinion on this?
The 24MK600M doesn't look bad on paper. Is there any reason you'd prefer this over the Phillips? I generally wouldn't recommend getting a 27" 1080p monitor.
Interesting, I never came across this version. Seems to be similar to the DSB, but white. Maybe exclusive to some regions, as it's not listed everywhere.
246E9QJAB - best choice bcoz it have Display port and Freesync. Now even Nvidia videocards with 1000-series and newer can work with Freesync if connected via Display port.
Is the size good for a 1080p resolution or would you suggest getting a smaller 21.5" version if i plan to use it mainly for gaming? Does the image apear pixelated on the 24" version? One more question, does it wobble a lot? Great review all in all, keep up the good work.
1080p on 24" is a pretty common combination, probably even the most common. I personally think 1080p/24" is decent for many use cases and more than sufficiently sharp for gaming. Yes, it does wobble when you touch it.
Hi I have just bought this monitor and i feel that the colors a bit warmer even after installing the attached color profile and your " user define settings " May i know what is the best settings for this monitor for accurate colors as i am a designer and which profile from its setttings i should choose ( color tem of (native - 6500k) - sRGB - User define ) Hope you answer
You can try out my more recent profile, which I made with my new and better colorimeter: bit.ly/P246E-i1D-ICC Make sure to dial in these settings under User Define: R: 100 G: 95 B: 85
thank you for the review and the icc profile , when i got the monitor i noticed the colors are so much warmer than the laptop's screen even when using the sRGB profile and i do photo work and painting so i was concerned with how different things looked on it and didn't know what is the correct one so my question is if i used the icc profile you provided generously would that make it as so i got a device a did the calibration even though i can't afford one ? also is it suitable for imagery work that needs accurate colors? thank you
Many laptop screens (actually many monitors in general) come with white points that are too cold out of the box. Replicating my settings and using my ICC profile should get you pretty close to the D65 white point, which is pretty much the standard when it comes to professional color work. This might look a bit warm at first if you're not used to that. Getting a colorimeter and performing the calibration and profiling yourself will always lead to the best results. If you're really serious about your color accuracy I would definitely recommend doing that. I've also made a video comparing individual profiles to using profiles from others: th-cam.com/video/4IHsHZx-Bb8/w-d-xo.html
Wow awesome review! Thank you so much for show complete specs and your opinion of it, many reviews just repeat the specs of the store, but you hit the next level. I couldn't understand this, If I have the version without display Port, can I use G-synch with a 2.0 HDMI cable? Thank you so much!
Hi, thank you for the review! The supporting documentation says best is to use 1920x1080-60Hz for best performance. In your review you suggest using 1920x1080-75Hz . Should we keep 75 Hz for best experience?
One of the best reviews I've ever seen would you say that the 246e9qjab is great for xbox one x? I dont want to get a 4k monitor cause I'm on a budget and that xbox has supersampling making 1080p monitors have sharper images
Thanks! The 246E9QJAB will do great with an Xbox just as it does with a PC. Though it's hard to say if the combination will be VRR and HFR capable - it's probably not. So if you don't care about those features the Philips monitor is a great buy. You could also go for the DSB version, as your Xbox can't utilize the additional Displayport input of the JAB anyway.
@@techlessYT appreciate your reply, I've just checked the xbox is VRR and ALLM capable however I do not see anywhere if it says its HFR capable what does those words mean in simpler terms?😅
HFR means high frame rate, so in this case more than 60FPS. Yes, the Xbox X is in theory capable of doing both, but people generally have a hard time getting this to work with various different monitors. The Philips monitor itself is capable of VRR through HDMI, so in theory the Xbox should be able to utilize that. Also the Philips monitor can go up to 75Hz while the Xbox could hypothetically even go up to 120Hz. But judging from what people report online, it's pretty much a gamble, whether those features actually work or not. And not having a HDMI 2.0 port seems to even worsen the chances, hence my not so optimistic forecast about those features probably not working with this monitor on an Xbox. Here's such a forum post I'm referring to: forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=6203
@@techlessYT I appreciate the time you took to reply to my comment I'm only looking for a monitor that can comfortably run 60fps I'm not really bothered about if it can go higher so would the monitor still be a good choice? I promise this is my last question😅 I only want to make sure I'm getting a great monitor cause it has just been restocked and I can buy it right now
Very nice review, liked and subscribed, now i narrowed it down to two monitors, Philips 246E9QJAB or Dell SE2419HR , which one should i buy what do you think ?
Does buying DisplayPort really pay off? Or HDMI which comes with the monitor is enough. Does Nvidia g sync make a big difference in performance or just for gaming? Great review. You got my sub.
If you got a Nvidia card it's the only way to get adaptive sync (Gsync). This is a huge plus for gaming. Apart from gaming you can make use of Vsync, which does work over both HDMI or Displayport regardless of the GPU brand. This essentially eliminates tearing just like Free- or Gsync, but at the cost of a higher latency. Hence this isn't really a great choice for gaming, but works absolutely fine for other applications like browsing etc. Thanks for your sub!
@@techlessYT thank you for a quick response. so you recommend to get a display port cable? I have nvidia g force GTX 1660. I use monitor for architecture, graphic design, digital art and I play Fortnite sometimes.
I personally only play Fortnite (and all other games) with Gsync enabled. So yes, I'd recommend getting a Displayport cable. This doesn't need to be expensive, AmazonBasics gets the job done. Keep in mind though, that you will have to cap your FPS slightly below 75 Hz at something like 70-73 Hz to safely stay inside the Gsync range of the monitor. I did a video on how to do that with Fortnite: th-cam.com/video/14YvhXloQuw/w-d-xo.html
Thankyou so much for the review! Just wanted to know how is the backlit glow in screen? And if the black level of the screen satisfying enough?? Please reply
That's great review and only one in whole internet such detailed. Please tell me is there really 130% sRGB or fake? I think to buy this one or Dell (P2419H / S2419H). Thanks! P.S. Need good colors for graphic design work!
@@NoelAKABigNolo Not yet, but I think more about Dell, because I found detailed review on it like this one and it has better backlight and more, but hasn't VESA + only 60hz. Despite all this for me true colors and sRGB is more important 🙄 I already built but now need GPU and Monitor 😄
@@whitefang2011 After some more consideration I think is better to spend a little more and get a 1440p monitor. Im going for the BenQ2420PT. At $229, it seems to be the best monitor at that price range for designers. Hopefully it will be on sale on black friday/cyber monday
@@NoelAKABigNolo I wish we have BenQ brand monitors in our country (( That's why I have to buy other. I wanted more than FHD but they cost here much more 229$ 🙄
Philips 246E9QJAB - (work Freesync with Nvidia cards) - need Nvidia videocards with 1000-series and newer, but only via Display port connection. 246E9QDSB - not work(Bcoz it not have Display port. Only Freesync with AMD videocards work via HDMI).
Which setting do you recommend to be changed to get the most color correct palette? I'm a digital artist. I would use the monitor to paint my illustrations using my drawing pad, multimedia and light gaming. Btw. awesome review, loved it.
I'm glad you found this useful! You can try the color settings showed at about 4:00. Maybe the linked ICC will work nicely for your unit as well - every panel can be a bit different though. To really get the most accurate colors you will need to get a calibration device like the Spyder 5 that I use.
If I'm not mistaken the curved one has a VA panel. I haven't tested this monitor, hence I can't go into detail. Though I wouldn't go for this monitor alone by the fact it only has full HD resolution across 27". I personally think 27" needs 1440p or higher.
Hi great review..!! What about its black level look like? I mean black is solid or faded/ greyish? And what about white? In default setting white is pure? Or any slight blue/yellow tint
Hey, I'm looking for a monitor around the same price range for video/photo and 3D production/editing. Would this suffice or is there a better option now?
There isn't much backlight bleeding with my monitor, far less than I would expect from a monitor of this price category. Though the amount of backlight bleeding can actually vary quite much between samples.
As an artist which one will you suggest to buy This one or Asus ASUS ProArt Display PA247CV I am tired how everything looks so different on my monitor vs my phone vs my tablet.
Greetings boss, I just bought this monitor, but I'm weird because of the screen that does not fit the size of his monitor, it has a black excess on the edges so it doesn't look frameless, guess why ea boss? i already set the widest screen resolution on windows setting.

Does 226e9qdsb has the same color accuracy?
Bought today, 🌊🌊
That's great review and only one in whole internet such detailed. Please tell me is there really 130% sRGB or fake? I think to buy this one or Dell (P2419H / S2419H). Thanks!
P.S. Need good colors for graphic design work!
Me too! I am building a pc and need a good monitor for design. Did you get it yet?
@@NoelAKABigNolo Not yet, but I think more about Dell, because I found detailed review on it like this one and it has better backlight and more, but hasn't VESA + only 60hz. Despite all this for me true colors and sRGB is more important 🙄
I already built but now need GPU and Monitor 😄
@@whitefang2011 After some more consideration I think is better to spend a little more and get a 1440p monitor. Im going for the BenQ2420PT. At $229, it seems to be the best monitor at that price range for designers. Hopefully it will be on sale on black friday/cyber monday
@@NoelAKABigNolo I wish we have BenQ brand monitors in our country (( That's why I have to buy other. I wanted more than FHD but they cost here much more 229$ 🙄

Awesome review! +like
Thanks @techless
Thats a great review ,,ICC profile attached in the description link is dead . can you attach it to new link please
Thanks! Just checked it, the link is still working fine.
So g sync will work on Philips 246e9qdsb version with hdmi 2.1 nvidia gpu
No unfortunately not as the Philips has no HDMI 2.1 port.
Can you do a review on asus va24ehe
Will video games still look good on this monitor without h sync
Philips 246E9QJAB - (work Freesync with Nvidia cards) - need Nvidia videocards with 1000-series and newer, but only via Display port connection. 246E9QDSB - not work(Bcoz it not have Display port. Only Freesync with AMD videocards work via HDMI).
i want to buy it as a external monitor for my upcoming asus G14 laptop, which has AMD cpu and Nvidia Grapics.
Which setting do you recommend to be changed to get the most color correct palette? I'm a digital artist. I would use the monitor to paint my illustrations using my drawing pad, multimedia and light gaming.
Btw. awesome review, loved it.
I'm glad you found this useful!
You can try the color settings showed at about 4:00. Maybe the linked ICC will work nicely for your unit as well - every panel can be a bit different though.
To really get the most accurate colors you will need to get a calibration device like the Spyder 5 that I use.
@@techlessYT thank you! Do you think this is the best monitor I can get in this price range? Or do you recommend something else?
Well, I'm pretty confident to say it's one of the best monitors at this price range for color accuracy and light gaming.
@@techlessYT Thanks a lot. Last question I promise, would you recommend this flat 24" 1080p IPS version or 27" curved 1080p IPS version?
If I'm not mistaken the curved one has a VA panel. I haven't tested this monitor, hence I can't go into detail. Though I wouldn't go for this monitor alone by the fact it only has full HD resolution across 27". I personally think 27" needs 1440p or higher.
Heyy thanks for review! This monitor or Philips 242V8a ?
Haven't tested the 242V8A, but can't see any advantages for the 242 on paper.
@@techlessYT Thanks!
Is it good monitor for this money ?
Which is better DSB or the other one?
Hi great review..!! What about its black level look like? I mean black is solid or faded/ greyish? And what about white? In default setting white is pure? Or any slight blue/yellow tint
Does adaptive Sync also work with an HDMI-Displayport Adapter?
thank you,
you are awesome
BenQ GW2480 vs Philips 246E9QJAB which one's better?
This review is awesome, but more diction pls!!
What is the actual GTG response time without Philips' SmartResponse turned on?
Bruh you are super underrated
Great freesyn monitor , low cost , great value.
So I have to buy a displayPort
Hey, I'm looking for a monitor around the same price range for video/photo and 3D production/editing. Would this suffice or is there a better option now?
Only QDSB version has refresh rate of 60hz
Thanks for this video, very informative.
Would like to know if it comes with a display port cable? Thanks.
There's no Displayport cable included unfortunately.
@@techlessYT alright thanks for that
Hi! I've read some comments about backlight bleeding and low visibility on dark scenes. Have you noticed something about this? Thank you!
There isn't much backlight bleeding with my monitor, far less than I would expect from a monitor of this price category. Though the amount of backlight bleeding can actually vary quite much between samples.
As an artist which one will you suggest to buy
This one or Asus ASUS ProArt Display PA247CV
I am tired how everything looks so different on my monitor vs my phone vs my tablet.
Should be nice if you review the viewsonic va2718-sh
Is it good for content watching?? and is there any black bleeding issue?? please reply
Quality content 👌, u earned my sub and few comments, hope you'll get appreciation
Good shit ma dude
Should i get this or asus VA24EHE ?
Greetings boss, I just bought this monitor, but I'm weird because of the screen that does not fit the size of his monitor, it has a black excess on the edges so it doesn't look frameless, guess why ea boss? i already set the widest screen resolution on windows setting.
