Back in April we reviewed our first Philips professional display, their 23" 230WP7NS WUXGA LCD Widescreen Monitor. Today we follow up that review with a look at their smaller, more affordable 20" 200WB7EB WSXGA LCD monitor. The 230WP7 can be found online for around $865USD while the 200WB7 is listed for less than half that; around $400USD. Whether or not those 3" of diagonal size is worth the price increase or not is ultimately up to you but today in our review we'll give you a good idea of what to expect from the 200WB7.

Like the 230WP7, the 200WB7 is equipped with SmartManage technology which allows administrators to include monitors in their asset management system. Admin's can track usage hours, adjust monitor settings, reset factory settings, verify monitor locations, power monitors on and off, provide tech support, and communicate with end users.

Below is a list of the monitor's specs.
