The Philips 328P is a monitor for someone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money on a 32-inch 4K display. It is the best 4K monitor to feature a VA panel and high contrast ratio compared to an IPS panel. This monitor provides several connectivity options and features a minimal design. If you don’t mind spending a lot of money to get what you want, you can’t go wrong with our best computer monitors list.
