IDENTIFICATION: This record names the Philips Brilliance 201B40 family and the /75H variant identified in its archived user guide; compare the full rear-label suffix before applying region-specific power or mode data.

Specifications

Model / image size	Philips Brilliance 201B40/75H; 21-inch nominal CRT, approximately 20-inch viewable 4:3 image, flat aperture-grille type.
Pitch	0.25 mm stripe pitch; older documentation may separately describe horizontal dot pitch, so retain the label's measurement convention.
Resolution and refresh	No fixed native resolution. Recommended mode is 1600 × 1200 at approximately 85–86 Hz; maximum resolution is 1920 × 1440 with refresh constrained by scan limits. Consult the /75H manual timing table for exact mode pairings.
Connectors	HD15 / DE-15 analog RGB video input; grounded detachable AC power inlet. No digital DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort input.
Power	AC mains supply; operating draw is listed around 135 W depending on selected timing and brightness. Rear regional nameplate controls voltage/frequency requirements.
Host compatibility	Analog VGA RGB output and supported mode required. For digital-only hosts, use an active DAC with scan timing supported by the monitor; connector adapters alone do not convert the signal.

Compatibility and safety

Do not assume settings for another Brilliance 201B suffix apply to the /75H. Confirm signal timing and nameplate power before connection. CRT cabinets are heavy and have dangerous high-voltage circuits; never remove the cover or perform internal adjustments without qualified CRT service expertise.
