791099 2009-07-12 23:49:00 I have just purchased myself a new monitor like the one in the link below

www.thewarehouse.co.nz

Does any body have the monitor and if so how does perform?

791100 2009-07-13 00:26:00 Dont mean any disrespect - but shouldn't that question have been asked before purchasing it ??

Dont know what they are like as I have never used them. Just out of interest, how long is the Warranty on them Via the warehouse ?

Edited: other philips LCD's on my vendors site say
NZ based 3 year on site collect and replace warranty
ISO13406-2 pixel warranty, zero white dot defects

Ditto to what wainui said.
One thing I did notice is that the resolution seems quote low for a 19" widescreen (1366x768).
All the ones we sell are at least 1440x900.

791105 2009-07-13 04:13:00 1440*900 = 16:10
1366*768 = 16:9

Doesn't really make much difference, if you watch a lot of movies 16:9 is good, otherwise 16:10 is probably the more sensible option.

Philips are generally seen as a decent brand, but I wouldn't buy one, and certainly not from the warehouse.

www.ascent.co.nz

That's the same link that Blam posted, very nice monitor. Ascent are excellent to buy from, way better than the Warehouse.

791108 2009-07-13 21:40:00 We used Philips monitors at work for about 4 years, the Philips CRT monitors were very good (a little while back now), but the LCD ones were terrible and we changed suppliers as soon as the lease let us. Wheels (7227)
