Philips 200CW

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.

I've been using this Phillips 200 cw computer monitor for around 3 months now. In general I'd say it is fit for purpose and as far as computer monitors go is probably at the better end. It's really easy to set up and the on screen monitor menu is is to follow and relatively intuitive.It also comes with useful accessories that clip on to the side of the monitor. I've got a mobile phone holder for my iphone and and pen holder (which is less useful). The one annoying thing about this computer monitor is the flicker when viewing items with a high grey / black contact. It is really noticeable to the naked eye.
