i understand where you are coming from. I have an AGP based X800XL which is struggling at 1920*1200, it's ok in 1680*1050 though (and the Dell 2405fpw scaling chip is excellent!). I would agree that at the moment, for gaming, this monitor is over powered compared to rest of my system. Although what clinched it for me was that I have built a fair degree of future proofing into my monitor, so when I go PCI-E and next gen GFX card then I will be able to enjoy native res in gaming with all the eyecandy on.
The only issue that worries me is HDCP. We will see what Vista, along with other 'hacks' bring.
Does anyone know if all these latest 20" monitors support HDCP over DVI ? I would guess not, I cant image that HDCP will actually come into force really. Although I guess if it does then they will force the compromise situation, IF HDCP does not exist on output device then downgrade to 480i/p... that will be **** though
Language.

I am not worried about HDCP, only the Gateway TFT that is sold in the US can do that at the moment. Haven't seen any of the current crop of TFT this side of the shore can do that yet. By the time it's popular (12 months I say), I might upgrade again anyway.
I can't wait for this Phillips to arrive now, got my ATI800XTPE last October, now it can really give it a workout !
Still no dispatch email...not looking good for tomorrow, and I am out all day Friday !

any news on whether this is confirmed as the same panel as the belinea? i.e. no a S-IPS one?, as i might pop up OCUK saturday and purchase one!
No one knows, except Phillips have confirmed it is a 8ms panel, and the spec is identicle to a P-MVA panel. I took the risk and ordered one, will see tomorrow.

Right, First impression. I’ll do a more in depth review after some use tonight. And its not dark enough outside to get a pic in pitch black yet.
Boy, this thing is heavy. Only had to carry it up the stairs and immediately notice how heavy it is. Here is the box, with the handle, it opens up funny thou, not from the top but from the side. It was a little awkward to get it out actually, the stand its attached to the monitor and it's folded backwards, so you need to move it to it's upright position. The plastic covering the "joint" in the stand is not the best but it does its job and you can't see it once it's standing.
It comes with a power cable (kettle lead), DVi cable (already plugged in), VGA cable, and audio cable. I didn't use the DVI cable it came with since i already got one and it was plugged into the existing 17" TFT. So I did a quick swap, moved the 17" TFT onto the VGA channel and use the DVI for the Phillips.
I didn't bother with the USB port either as my Keyboard has 2 already and my front of my PC also has 2. Nor did i use the speakers on the Phillips since my PC is hooked up to my Stereo, so no testing on the speakers for me.

This is it up with my 17” TFT by its side, as I predicted, vertically it’s really close so I can use it as dual setup with ease. The difference I find is that either the Acer is not very good using VGA, or the Phillips is a hell a lot better screen since it’s a lot brighter, colours much more punchier and vibrant. The Phillips is somehow sharper too. you can also tell by the pictures that the TN panel really suffers when looking from below where the Phillips doesnt at all. I really love the Viewing angle on this, it's amazing !
And just been playing with the settings, there seem to be 3 modes to fill the screen. Full Screen, Native mode and Fill with Aspect.

Awesome, looking forward to a full review later !
Can you comment on the build quality of the buttons etc (Just for the sake of it).
I can't think of any test of the refresh rate, but is there anything suggesting what panel is being used.
When dark enough can you comment on the backlight bleed kinda situation by sticking a black picture on it and seeing if anything leaks through.
*excited*

I don't know any test i can do for its response time but but moving the windows around the screen, and comparing to the Acer (which is a 8ms TN panel). The Phillips if anything seem more responsive.

Whether it's S-IPS or P-MVA I am over the moon with mine, tonight is going to be movie night i think. Pizza and coke in front of my new baby
Here is a picture of it in the dark.
Backligth bleeds is minimal, there's a little in the corners but hardly noticeable.

Enjoy the film !
I can't see anything other than black in that last pic, I guess it'd be more apparent in real-life. Looks nice
Get a photo of the movie playing (after you watch it ) , that'd be a good pic
