Every monitor company tries to deliver a product destined for its respective market and however hard they attempt this various models will forever deliver various performances. Screens such as our reviewed here Philips 202P40 are classified as top of the range within its class thus are designed to deliver that little bit more than the average consumer product. A screen of this caliber is required to support high resolutions and top refresh rates with a sense of panache throughout. Philips has managed to deliver just this and at around $600 retail it also falls within a price range lower than most of its competitors within this class. The lack of in-built USB hub does mean it lacks something most others include as standard but to fight back Philips markets its product as fully capable of 1600x1200 at 104Hz, not something every monitor can deliver. The included software is helpful if not extraordinary in content; it has a purpose and fulfills it well. With the sheer image quality the 202P40 carries with it there is no other option but to safely recommend it to you, the reader. It provides the performance expected at this price and class with minimum distortion making it definitely one of the best 22 inch monitor available on the market today. Pros: - 22 inch aperture grill tube, 20 inch visible - Resolutions up to 2048x1536 and 1600x1200 at 104Hz NI - 320MHz Video bandwidth - Super image quality with right setup - Great geometry with only 1 minor error noted - Extensive options within OSD Cons: - Time consuming OSD adjustments to get best results - No bundled with BNC cable for optimum performance - No in-built USB hub implementations Overall Rating: 93% |
