Philips 170P6EB Review

- The Philips 170P6EB offers a number of unusual features that could endear it to business users. The Perfect Panel policy lets you return any unit marred by a dead pixel. When enabled, the SmartBright feature reacts to ambient lighting, lowering its own light in response to a dark room. The LightFrame DR software, included on CD, updates the previous viewing modes with new modes and new functions. And its lead-free design will (at least in some states) make it easier to dispose of at the end of its life. Unfortunately, the quality of the actual display somehow got lost in the shuffle.
