Philips 170S5F 17 inch LCD Monitor

Pros: Features sRGB profile for correct display. Auto Adjustment.
Cons: No DVI input, no pivot feature

Eons ago when I upgraded my monitor from monochrome to colour, it was THE most exciting upgrade of that era. Flickering screen was probably not even acknowledged as major drawback of monitors of that era since a comparison was not possible with anything ...

Pros: Good price. Easy to hook up and adjust. Excellent colors and display.
Cons: None.

I love this monitor. Plug and play. Hit the auto button and you're off surfing the net or editing your photos with vibrant and true colors. Want to adjust the contrast or colors? No problem. The buttons are easy to use. Most important is Philip's warranty on this monitor. It is 4 years with 0 tolerance to dead pixels unlike many of the other manufacturers. The price was also very attractive for a monitor with these specs. 16ms response time will give you decent high speed gaming and the contrast ratio of 450 will suffice for even fine graphics work. This is a good workhorse, no-frills monitor that will give you years of service covered by one of the best guaranties around.

Pros: Cheaper price
Cons: Medium picture quality, stability

I was happy with this monitor when I purchased it, however I had a problem out-of-the-box with an intermittent dead pixel. After only 2 months of using it, it began to intermittently power off then on. 2 Weeks after these symptoms, it now fails to power on completely. Having passed the 30-day warranty from the retail store I bought it from, new, I contacted Philips about possibly RMA'ing the product.

It is a nice monitor, and I have had good luck with it except that I may have received a lemon. I had purchased it to replace my Proview which still runs & seems to have lasted longer than it's replacement.
