Phillips 80P2
The 180P2 is quite a different looking LCD monitor, with a new-style slimline bezel, and speakers built into the base.
The panel has a portrait/landscape display swivel feature. The right-to-left adjustment is rather rudimentary, but worse still, there is no angle or tilt adjustment. The lack of these features leaves us wondering how on earth any operator would be able to use such a large monitor comfortably.
Even with its brightness set to 100 percent, it looked like it still needed some more brightness to get the calibration correct, but the contrast seemed better. Fast motion video was acceptable, however the colours were muted with too much green and/or red depending on the sequence being displayed.

Did you even review these montiors? How you could get such a fundamental thing wrong is beyond me.
