Belinea 102035W or Philips 200W6CS?

In the process of finalising my cart, deciding on a new monitor (my 19" is a bit too big and I can still use it anyway if I want) The Belinea and Philips are in my price range. I've noticed the Belinea can suffer from corner backlight bleed, and perhaps the Philips isn't so pronounced. But which has the better picture quality? Both have 3 year warranty.

I was in pretty much the same boat.
People kept saying, yeah the belinea has bad back light bleed, but unless you sit in a dark room it aint that bad. Well I do sit in a dark room, so I went with the philips one.

Also I believe the philips one has some better scaling modes, which the belinea doesn't offer.
Really wanted an PMVA panel tho. I think the philips is SIPS.
Also the philips comes with a DVI lead, the belinea does not IIRC.

no one really knows what panel the Philips has, I wanted a P-MVA panel too but opted for the Philips. Like you said, the Philips comes with scaling modes (very handy), DVI lead and minimal Backlight issues.

What's different about P-MVA and Sips?

I'm stuck between in which two to get also! Which would people suggest for gaming/x360 etc?

I'm using the Philips for both and loving it everything is much more vibrant and crisp!

Great! do you know how the panel compares to the Belinea?

I haven't seen the Belinea to compare, but when i was choosing it was between the phillips and the belinea, but the servre backlight bleed on the belinea put me off. Thankfully my phillips isn't too bad with bleed. I did post some pics in the thead on the philips too, so you can tell from them

I've just popped into this section to say that I've had my Philips for a couple of weeks or so and it's fantastic.
There is some backlight bleed, but to really notice it you'd have to be sat in a dark room looking at a black screen.....which is rare. If I went back in time and I had the choice again - I'd buy it in an instant.
I've seen the Belinea in a local shop (but not running), and in my opinion the Philips does look a little bit better built.

I've decided to buy a LG 32LX2R, use for TV/DVD and gaming PC. Granted lower rez but I need a new TV. 32" versus 20" also
