CRT Monitors > Philips CRT Monitors

A very good choice of CRT monitor

Advantages: Clear, crisp picture.
Disadvantages: Quite deep, degauss when turned on.

This is a good CRT monitor and can be found at a very reasonable price at auction. 17" works best at a 1024x768 resolution with a 75hZ or more refresh rate. This monitor has a very clear, crisp picture, and a range of settings to set it up to your liking. Works very well for a gaming setup, I see no problems when laying fast-paced games such as UT2004, and DVD playing is also great. The only two problems I have with this monitor are the large ...

Review of Philips SoHo 107E21

Giving you a clearer picture...

Advantages: Large sized screen with great definition and good value for money
Disadvantages: It is very big and looks a bit clumsy

...**Design and looks** The Philips 107E76 is certainly not going to win any awards for looks. It is quite a bulky monitor and has a large presence sat on your desk. Indeed, the design is slightly different from many monitors, and yes - beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Sadly, it is not a great piece of artwork in my eyes. However, it is very robust and is extremely sturdy and well built. I think it would take quite a hefty blow to break it! The ...
...of space to sit it on your desk. If space availability is a problem then this monitor is not for you. Fortunately, we have a corner desk and it is able to fit rather snugly in the corner up against the wall. Overall, the design and looks gets a sturdy, but not eye catching 5/10 **Features** The monitor has all of the features you would expect. However, it is not the easiest thing to operate and can often lead to those 'Oh no, what have I done ...

Review of Philips 107E76

Best 17" CRT monitor: PHILIPS P50

Advantages: image quality, contrast, brightness, lightness
Disadvantages: weight

I use this CRT monitor for about 3 years now and I can say that I am very satisfied with it. In my opinion, it is the best 17 inch CRT monitor that was ever built. I am saying this due to my long experience with it: during this period of 3 years, my eyes never hurt, I never felt sleepy or had headaches. And that with an average of 5-6 hours of using it per day. You might say that I am some sort of person that is not affected by monitors. That is ...
...another monitor for 30-40 minutes. On the second hand, the specifications of this monitor are excellent, I have tested it even at 2048x1536 and it worked properly. I use it now at 1152x864@100Hz. Quality of the colors is good, Moire effect is less visible, lightness and contrast is excellent. When comparing it to a LCD monitor, the only disadvantage I can see is the weight of 15lg which will be an impediment if you have to move it around. At all ...

Review of Philips 107P50

A great monitor for home and office use.

Advantages: Low price, excellent customer care service
Disadvantages: Best performance is in low resolution

...It's not the first Philips 105S monitor I ever bought. In fact I own a second one that was bought in November 1999 and I ensure you it's still in perfect working condition. The reason for buying a second monitor is that I needed one for a second PC I bought for home use - not because I am a Philips fan (well, I might be a little, but I have reasons). Now, about the monitor. • Installation The monitor is Windows plug-and-play, so you will not need ...
...of the screen. I called Philips customer care deparment and they replaced the monitor, no questions asked. The second monitor had the same "problem" (it was my problem not the monitor's). So I called again the customer care department (only 2 days before Christmass) and asked them to replace it again. They did deliver the second monitor the next day (Christmass eve) and they said that if the new monitor had the same problem, I should change the monitor ...

Review of Philips SoHo 105S

Philips 109S40 - A good buy!

Advantages: Quality of build, price (!), clear screen for text + gfx, great user interface
Disadvantages: Slight curves at edges (but nothing distracting)

...the failure if the cable is unplugged,. Overall a very good monitor I recommend to all future buyers. Yes there is cheaper, but value for money cannot be beaten with the Philips 109S40. A monitor I am proud to take with me to gaming LANs. - Steve Allison ...
