Summary

With the 180B2 Philips has delivered an excellent monitor at a very reasonable price. Plenty of competition is driving LCD development at an alarming rate — so one of the natural concerns is that prices will continue to plummet, making it wiser to hold off on a purchase. Of course this is always a concern with new technology — but with LCD screens in particular it stands a good chance that prices will drop in the long run, dare we say it, even below CRT monitors. If this is really the case then it may be a painfully long wait until the prices stabilize. The fact that many businesses are switching to LCD's shows that even though they are priced higher, their value is actually quite competitive with CRT's. This value is seen in reliability and low maintenance, which drive many corporate purchasing decisions. Of course this is definitely a concern for the average consumer as well. Even at the current prices Philips offers an excellent, value oriented, leading edge product.

“I was originally going to buy a "sale" 18" LCD monitor for $289. The retailer ran out of stock, so they gave me a new 180B2 instead for the same price. Lucky for me! This monitor is the best I've ever owned. Strange how the picture is so good despite the specified...” More...
