| 180615 | 2003-10-05 20:22:00 | I bought a Philips 170B4 a little while agao and and absolutely rapt with it. I play a lot of games on it (far too many games) and have no problems with response times or colours. Extra selling point is the "Zero Pixel Defect" policy. (Only takes one dead pixel for it to be replaced.) Most of the cheaper LCD screens don't offer this. Regards Capt Jimbo |

| 180616 | 2003-10-05 23:47:00 | Picked up a Philips 15B4 for dad a few months back from AquilaTech (www.aquilatech.co.nz). Very good monotor although it doesn't have DVI input. The B models have a dead/stuck pixel warranty and I believe the 17" has DVI. Cheers Murray P |

| 180618 | 2003-10-06 09:34:00 | Thanks Choa I was obviously searching using a different name for that brand :) After doing some more research, plus reading the feed back here, I had sort of picked out the Philips 170B4BG, but for the same price the CMV 17inch TFT from your link has a lot better specifications (response time). So why is it selling for that price - what is the catch? Does it have a zero-dead pixel policy do you know? As godfather has already implied, I can't have my cake and eat it too. :D Sorry for all the questions, but I don't know much about what makes a LCD better than a similarly priced one? For instance, you mentioned 400 cd/m2 brightness before - I take that is good? I know a faster response time is more ideal, but the total package of specifications must also be taken into account. Cheers Jen |

| 180619 | 2003-10-06 09:39:00 | hmmm... i think it only has 1 year warranty depending on where you get it of course but otherwise its a great screen. I have one myself. The brightness is based on the room in which the screen will be used. If it is a well lit room then brightness of over 350 cd/m is more ideal IMO. I mean for the price its a great screen and i've had no problems with mine. However the choice is yours, you may feel safer to go with a big name brand like Philips where most of your money goes into that little label on the screen. |
