refresh rate is not mentioned, meaning they are all 60hz panels?
(philips PDF links are 404)
cryohellinc
Had the same question. All of them are 60hz to 75hz screens.

fancy office monitors. Not bad.

Out of all of those the most interesting, at least for me, is 325E1C.
For example, at work, I have Phillips BDM3270. Great really sleek looking 10 bit panel which natively runs at 60hz and I have overclocked it to 74hz.
In theory, if 325E1C is 75hz and can be pushed all the way to at least 90-100hz range via overclocking, that can be a very nice monitor for gaming and general usage.
I wish we would get more stylish and classy business looking for screens with high refresh rates.

That would actually decent. Reminds of Korean panels.

Have my eyes on this screen right now for my upcoming build - ACER ED323QUR ABIDPX 31.5
Pretty much ticks all the boxes.

Looks good. I myself might switch to different monitor and pass Crossover 2795 to my family.
2 negative things that come on my mind about the monitor you posted:
1) I still not sure how big difference between VA and IPS (AH-IPS). Not sure if there IPS models for such low price though.
2) Not sure about 31.5 inch size, if I am not wrong 27 inch is rather native size for 1440p, wouldn't 31.5 seem stretched? Like 1080p on 24 / 27 inch panel.

IPS is sort of "better", but VA has better blacks and generally costs less. The main drawback of VA is higher grey-to-grey, with the added benefit of "better" colours.
However, generally, they are almost identical for general daily usage.
Not at all actually. If you sit on a stretched out hand distance, it looks perfect. Personally, I think 30-32inch is the perfect size for 1440p, anything above is more suited for the 4k (imo).

Big difference VA vs AH-IPS. VA has much higher contrast than AH-IPS can ever be, although the latter can look so good it may not even be an issue. AH-IPS has amazing clarity, where even the smallest text size can be easily readable. Not sure how much has changed over the years, but thats been my experience with these types of displays. LG is the sole maker of AH-IPS panels and many brands use them, esp Dell. For office work I would easily take AH-IPS panels over VA. For entertainment, movies/gaming, VA is the better choice.

does overclocking your panel reduce it's lifetime?
Witcher29
Yes it could and it also increases hz flickering, they not made for that.
cryohellinc
My parents have an old 1080p LG IPS screen from 2010, stock is 60hz and 86hz with OC. This runs for 9+ years now without any visual issues at all and they use it nonstop.
However, generally, I do agree that it can decrease the lifespan. Same can be said for CPU OC, and we all know how "fast" that degrades it.

Great monitors but I deny them due to missing hdr. Damn it! I was almost gonna buy one. Sad.

So the 328E1CA has me curious. It's saying a 2500:1 contrast ratio for an IPS panel. The rest of the monitors look to be claiming typical static contrast numbers for their panel type. If 2500:1 is the real static number for that monitor, then that's a pretty significant development.
