| 187324 | 2003-10-28 12:17:00 | Hi, Does anyone use this monitor? I am thinking of getting one and just want to know if it's worth my hard earned $$$, I mean I can easily get an 19inch flat AOC for almost half the price. If u r using one please let me know what u think of it.. and how it compares with other cheaper 19inches thx : ) Or, would it be better to get 17 inch LCD?? Some of the cheapers ones are at around the same price as the philips, they mostly have 20 ms response time and above. If I use my comp for mostly gaming and movies ..would 20 ms response time have ghosting?? Thanx guys! |

| 187325 | 2003-10-28 16:48:00 | I have been using the Philips 109P monitor for a while now and have no problems at all with it. It is used mainly to work with AutoCad and to do other desktop, Internet related work. I do not play games with this monitor. I was also looking at getting a Flat panel monitor, but at the time they were still quite a lot more expensive. Also at the time they were not good for playing games due to the slow response times onscreen, but I believe that has improved now. Someone else will probably help you more with Flat panel monitors. I definitely could not go back to a smaller screen anymore after using a 19" Dave |

| 187326 | 2003-10-28 18:40:00 | I have used one for over a year. It is the flat screen model and it is perfect. Only thing of course is the two fine wires that run across the screen to hold the matrix in place but then all trinitron screens have these and you don't notice them after a while. Excellent for gaming. Would not use an LCD for gaming as you would get ghosting. |

| 187327 | 2003-10-28 21:46:00 | Beautiful monitor. Had mine for at least a year. Used a Viewsonic 17inch before that, OK but not a patch on the Pfilips. You get usd to the lines, only notice them on very white backgrounds. Maybe Sony is the best, but also a lot more money. Very good for games. When LCD response times come down a lot more, etc., well.......who knows. Crunn P.S. Make sure you have your truss on when lifting it !! |

As mentioned above the two wires are a bit of a distraction at first, but now that I am used to it its no big thing; only really noticeable on white screens in explorer. LCD is nice; not a big fan myself. If you are gaming you want 15ms or better; even that will still get a little blur when things are hectic but its pretty acceptable. |
