The Philips 34B2U6603CH is packed with features that will appeal to business users. The power-delivering Thunderbolt 4 video input port with KVM capability (including wired LAN) is the highlight, making this a perfect partner for a hot desker or someone who wants to switch between using their laptop and desktop in the same office space.
The webcam and headset stand further add to the business utility, making Zoom or Teams video calls a breeze. Then there are additional, easily reached USB ports for your thumbdrive or charging your phone.
Although the colour fidelity isn't quite as brilliant as we'd have hoped, and the gamut slightly disappointing, there's plenty of brightness and contrast on offer for applications that require strong image quality. And, of course, with that 3,440 x 1,440 resolution and ultrawide aspect ratio, there is a lot of “screen real estate” if you want to keep multiple documents in view at once.
This is not a cheap monitor at over £500, and it's not an ideal screen if you also want to play high-framerate games on the side as well. But for business and professional users there's very little to fault. This is a highly capable ultrawide monitor that is sure to enhance your productivity – for a price.

KitGuru says: The Philips 34B2U6603CH combines a comprehensive set of business connectivity features with a solid, ultrawide curved panel. It's not a monitor for gamers, but office and professional users will find very little lacking in this premium screen.
