Philips Brilliance 200W6CB

The Philips Brilliance 200W6CB is a good performer but it lacks the features set seen on other similarly priced wide screen 20-inch LCD monitors.

The Brilliance 200W6CB is a boring looking display. Its matte-black bezel runs 0.75 inch wide along the top and sides and 2.5 inches wide along the bottom, where the decent sounding 2-watt speakers are located.

You can not pivot it between Portrait and Landscape mode, and you are limited to raising the panel by only 2 inches.

The Brilliance 200W6CB offers an adequate array of ports for a monitor of this category, including digital and analog inputs, an upstream USB 2.0 port, a PC audio jack, and a headphone jack. No S-Video connection is provided, and that may turn some users off from the wide screen display.

With a native resolution of 1,680×1,050, the Brilliance 200W6CB looked very sharp, especially when displaying text. The Brilliance 200W6CB with a 600:1 contrast ration, also is said to display good color quality. DVD and gaming performance is also said to look pretty good, with minimal streaking and digital noise. On the downside, even with a 16ms response time the display has a tendency toward ghosting in high-contrast areas.

Currently the Philips Brilliance 200W6CB is going for $599.95 USD.

Samsung Wins Award in Europe for LCDs

Samsung Samsung wom three awards while at the European Imaging & Sound Association. This happens to be one of Europe’s most distinct technical awards.

The Samsung’s 40-inch LCD (LE40M61B) is the one that brought home one of the awards due to its nice contrast ratio of 4000:1 and over all color expression of 6.4 billion colors. The bezel also helped win the award with its small form that forces the view to focus on the picture.

LCD TV (LE40M61B)
Samsung’s 40” LCD TV (LE40M61B) was honoured with an EISA award for its premium display technology in terms of contrast ratio (5000:1), color expression (6.44 billion colors, 92% color gamut for NTSC) , viewing angle (178 °) and response time (8 ms). Also the model’s simple body design focuses the viewer’s attention on the screen. On the front of the minimalist design, the speakers are hidden from view in the bottom bezel and nothing distracts from the superb image quality.
