...From the set off I must warn you that this opinion will be of little use to the more technically minded reader, I am ciao?s most techno phobic member and the fact that I am attempting to write a review on a piece of computer hardware is a wonder in itself.
Like most computer illiterates I thought my 17? standard type monitor was the canines dangly bits, it was large enough to read web pages easily and large enough to make game playing enjoyable and easy on the eye but the down side was the bulkiness of the thing, it took up loads of room on my desk, was heavy and gathered dust quicker than a Bjork CD in the Jimblob household.
Enter the rather sexy, and ultimately satisfying PhilipsBrilliance 180 P2 LCD 18.1? flat screen monitor.
My pal Helmet had actually bought one a few weeks ago and after seeing it my desire to have one...
