  • Crisp, even results in expert testing
  • Easy-clean baskets

Coffee machine

Good7/10Mid-range

Good at

  • LatteGo milk system is quick to clean with no tubes
  • Competitive prices on bean-to-cup machines
  • Removable brew group for easy rinsing

Weak at

LCD monitor

Mixed6/10Budget

Philips monitors are designed and sold by MMD, part of TPV (AOC's owner), under a brand licence since 2009. They are good value for office and docking use and strong in Europe, while gaming models are decent but rarely class-leading.

Good at

  • Brilliance business models have USB-C docking and KVM
  • Evnia gaming line includes QD-OLED options
  • Often good value on 4K and ultrawide office screens

Weak at

  • Philips itself doesn't make them; licensee MMD/TPV does
  • Budget models have basic stands and panels
  • Thin big-box retail presence in the US
