Yes, that Philips monitor was also supplied by Acorn later in the 1980s, in the 'Master' era. They're also excellent and can give results even better than the Cub (the frame linearity always seemed better to me) but they don't have quite the same vintage Beeb feel. I think the Philips is a derivative of the ubiquitous CM8833 which dominated the Amiga and Atari ST world. I've got a slightly later one on a tilt/swivel stand which I use with an Archimedes, though with the right cable it would also work well with a Beeb.
