Hey everyone who sees this, i'm considering this monitor as its only $300 aud which is really cheap but just wondering if anyone has this monitor and can recommend it as I don't see many reviews for it at all.

Thanks, Josh

Probably cheap for a reason.

As far as I can tell from digging a bit there are better monitors out there for around the same price.

A VA panel at under 30” is the first red flag. This is the domain of IPS. Manufacturers only go with VA here to cut costs. 250 nits is just pitiful. If the 122% sRGB spec is to be believed, it has pretty good color, but it's always worrisome when manufacturers make up gobbly-goop marketing nonsense like "ultra-wide color". What the heck does that even mean? It doesn't even claim to be "HDR ready", which when manufacturers slap that on even the most non-HDR displays, doesn't say much for Phillips confidence in this display. I'd stay away.
