After recording facial recognition, my colleagues and I conducted a safety test on Philips 346P1CRH. From the moving picture above, we can see that the hidden camera on this display has a high degree of face recognition. When I sit in front of the screen, I can quickly identify myself. While colleagues are in front of the screen, the camera cannot recognize them. This undoubtedly makes the use of computers more secure, and also has the incomparable convenience of password input.

In the middle of the bottom frame of the metal wire drawing process, it is Philips' brand logo. The small sensor that realizes the function of Power Sensor is placed next to the lOGO.

In addition, there is a DP OUT interface that can transmit video signals to the outside, so that a video interface can expand the use of dual screens, which is the daisy chain function. In addition, this display also provides a USB-C interface with 90W power supply.

The theoretical maximum transmission rate of this port is 10Gb per second, twice that of the USB3.1 Gen1 interface. When connected to the device, it can simultaneously charge the device, transmit audio and video signals to the display, and enable USB HUB use of the display. The connection is more convenient and brings better experience when using.

A USB-B uplink interface and four USB 3.2 downlink interfaces are also provided on the side of the display (the yellow interface supports fast charging), which can be externally connected to the display, alleviating the problem of insufficient device interfaces.

The OSD key of Philips 346P1CRH is located on the right side of the lower frame, and the solid key adjustment scheme is adopted. The touch of the key is moderate, and the feedback is obvious. The prompt sign on the bottom border greatly reduces the difficulty of adjustment. After a few minutes of familiarity, you can adjust it as you like.
