Pros: Quick, easy setup. Great picture from the start, minimal adjusting needed
Cons: Current display frequencies buried in OSD menu tree instead of on first screen
The Bottom Line: Get it, very nice for a mid range 19" SoHo monitor.

| bsauerbr's Full Review: Philips SoHo 109S20 19 inch CRT Monitor |
Let me start by saying I setup this monitor last night. It is a keeper.
Installation was very easy. Plugged it in, pointed Windows to the included CD. I have not tried the LightFrame yet only because the picture is already bright enough for me. They're not kidding when they say small footprint. It is small, the size of most 17" monitors.
The OSD menu for adjusting the size/position is good. I would like to see the current display frequency displayed on the first screen instead of buried in the menu after multiple button pushes.
I adjusted size/position for 640 up to 1600 and all resolutions were sharp and bright, even with the .27 dot pitch. It is comparable to my other .25mm 19" monitor.
Office Depot had a screamin' deal on this monitor so I jumped on it after minimal research. Let me explain the price: $279.99 + 18.14 tax - $55.99(20% off $50 coupon) along with a $100 rebate (I hope it comes) = $142.14. Free shipping. That's the best I've seen for a good 19" monitor.
