Well, it's a nice form factor, I have a Dell U2515H which is a great screen and seemingly a lot cheaper than this new Philips, at least outside the US.

Phillips offerings got constantly worse over past 10-15 years. Gone are the days of superb 4:3 Class I panels of yesterday (which I still have 2 in perfect working order).

350 cd maximum brightness is too high. I don't get it why manufacturers still persist with this rubbish. 300 is just fine. And glossy screen is no go for me in every imaginable LCD out there.
