I was looking for a nice pair of 17" monitors and stumbled across the Phillips 107E.

As it's a monitor there's not much to say, but it's main feature (for me anyway) is that the length/depth (distance from front of monitor to the back) is shortest for a 17" monitor. So if space is a concern then this is a good buy.

It has good saturation, brightness, etc.

The On Screen Display(OSD) is easy to use and works well.

Refresh rates are quite good for a monitor of this price range - I'm currently running at 1152x864 at 75Hz, and it's not bad!

Of course there are a few problems. One is that it's not a flat screen so you're gonna have to fiddle with the OSD for every resolution, and even then it's not going to be perfect.

The last problem is the technical support. If you have to return to the manufacturer (i.e. Philips) then if you're in Europe you will probably end up dealing with people in Sweden. Excellent english, accent can be a bit trying. Then again, they paid for UPS to pick my dud one up and bring it back - very good.

As requested here's some extra info (as of 07/05/2003)

Price: £91.29 inc VAT (EBuyer.com)
Screen size: 17"
Display Type: High Contrast CRT
Recommended Resolution: 1024x768
Emission Standard: TCO '99
Dot/Horizontal pitch: 0.27/0.23
Website: http://www.philips.com

I would've included a better link, but due to Philip's session vars, etc it ends up being around 80 characters long! Ah well.
