Philips Brilliance 220X1SW

Brilliant brilliance

Advantages: LCD quality, flat screen,style,pivot ability
Disadvantages: None

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 Philips Brilliance 180 P2 LCD 18.1? flat screen monitor.

Philips Brilliance 200W6CS

Advantages: Size
Disadvantages: cost

) Picture included, and I can that see the black is not true black this was more noticeable in Doom3 as when I first run this game I had set the monitor to Native resolution in the OSD and it left large black bars on the sides of the screen (you can set to full screen which stretches the screen which at 1280x024 looked quite playable if it weren't for me only having 512mb this game needs at least 1GB to play smoothly I use to have 1GB installed but my new MB will only accept 2 of my 256mb DIMMs so new memory coming when i can ) It also has a one USB that is rather useful as did not have one there before! Tested it with my camera and had no problems. Also has a audio in and headphone socket both of these work well, The speakers on the monitor are louder than I thought they would be but of course cannot replace standalone speakers at all ...

Review of Philips Brilliance 200W6CS

Brilliance in a flat screen

Advantages: Great quality, great max resolution, brilliant
Disadvantages: Pricetag is a little heavy

For quite a while i've been looking around casually, wanting to upgrade my computer. I got onto ebay (as you do) and bought a grand selection of graphics cards sound cards, RAM and a new Harddrive. My next thought was, this isn't going to make my computer any better looking, with that breeze block as a screen. This is when i first thought about buyin a flatscreen, and believe it or not, i bought this not because i knew much about it, but because of its name. Possibly its best selling point Phillips BRILLIANCE. You don't get much wittier than that. Now, onwards to its functionality. Resolution and clearness The highest around for a reasonable price. The resolution goes higher than any current game requires and certainly high enough for anybody wanting a quality display. Because of this high resolution, the screen is pixel ...
