Philips Introduces the Productivity-Geared 346B1C Monitor: 34" VA, 3440 x 1440, Curved 21:9
Philips today introduced their latest productivity-geared monitor in the form of the 346B1C. The 34" panel is of the VA type, ensuring great viewing angles without any form of color degradation. The WQHD resolution of 3440 x 1440 means maximum resolution, which can be better put to use in the 21:9 curved format of the display, allowing you to seamlessly work across two different windows (like this news editor is doing right now, really). The 346B1C features a USB-C dock so that you can have a seamless workflow from your portable environment to the big screen. It also sports split-screen views and an integrated multi-client KVM switch, so two PCs can use the same monitor, keyboard and mouse.
There's Adaptive-Sync (which should add some gaming chops to the monitor), flicker-free tech and LowBlue Mode for comfort. The stand features support for 180º swivel, tilt, and height-adjustments, and there's VESA support (though that's a given nowadays). The Philips 346B1C will be available this November for £539.

What a fantastic feature to incorporate into the unit. Really wish this was available a year ago when I upgraded 76 monitors in my office to Dell U3415W.
Edit.
Now I see that Phillips product page has 48-100 Hz listed.

If you don't need the KVM 345b1c is the same thing only a bit cheaper.
Are we seeing GPP in action again?
Somebody could get through @buildzoid
Up for pre-order at Amazon already and it's only $479. A lot less than the UK price mentioned. I've never pre-ordered a monitor, but based on this things combo of features/specs, I did it. Worst case I send it back to Amazon, but this thing looks killer to me as someone that works from home a couple days a week and occasionally does a little gaming still.
If your screen was more then a meter wide, yes a split screen function would be handy. But still. I prefer 2 screens next together with barely no gap in between them.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
