Summary: Good monitor, questionable software
Review: The 201B monitor has a sharp display. I run it at 1600x1200 with small fonts and all the print is easily readable. It has a standard 15 pin D-sub and BNC connectors so you can hook two computers to it and switch back and forth with a front panel selector switch.

One disappointing item: the monitor has a USB connector and software to let you adjust it with a PC program. The software loaded from the supplied CD but refused to work on my Win2k PC. I found out from Philips custumer support that the USB adjust feature only works with Win95 or Win98. It doesn't say that on the box or in the manual. Its hard to imagine why Philips would add an expensive feature to a product but then only support it on an obsolete OS. Most users will have to use the normal front panel buttons for adjustments.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Space-Saving 21"!
Review: This 21" monitor is a real space saver. I prefer the tube type monitors and did not want to go to an LCD. Most 19" & 21" monitors would take up too much space on my desk. This one is more compact and has a nice picture quality. Pretty reasonable price too.
