The Philips 200CW monitor is OK but its not great.

There is a real flicker on it which I cannot get rid of despite playing around with the settings a lot - I conclude that its just there and you can't get rid of it - not ideal for your eyes.

Design wise its in the current favourite of 'piano black' which personally I cant stand, but seems to be all the rage with lcd tv's these days too. IT does come in a grey I think which is probably better.

It only really works properly in 1680x1050 which is a bit too small to be honest and I find myself having bought a 20" monitor (much bigger than ones I've had before) and squinting at the screen to try and see stuff - it seems a bit daft that its optimised for this resolution and is poor on others.

So, overall, its OK but far from great. I think there are better monitors out there so I wouldn't buy one again.
