Customer Reviews:

DVI with no B's please! [Posted on 2005-12-16]
I am running two of these monitors as dual screens while I write software. My eyes are no longer sore at the end of the day. Excellent text rendering and bright screens make this monitor a pleasure to use.

Pros:
1) 1280x1024 at it's finest.
2) Stylish black monitor will make you the envy of all computer geeks.
3) Dual inputs! Hook that second computer up and switch to the RGB input when you want to see a stylish screensaver or something.

Cons:
1) Make sure you lower the refresh rate to 60hz on your videocard before connecting this monitor. Otherwise you not get a display.
2) Glare near windows is a little annoying. Can be fixed by blocking any sunlight. :(
3) RGB input can sometimes cause a vertical refresh line to dance acroos the screen.
4) No gaming here, the monitor has difficulty rendering similar shades of color.

Note: I almost bought a B as well and returned it, look carefully at what you are buying, P only!

A fine monitor for text and graphics [Posted on 2006-01-15]
I chose this monitor after reading a PCmag review of top 10 19" flat panels. Though this was not the top rated monitor, the review accredited the Sony as the best for use with both text and graphics. My use of the monitor for editing and image manipulation has proven to me that the PCmag review was true to the product.

Great Picture. Poor quality control. [Posted on 2006-01-30]
I purchased this monitor b/c in it's size and class it was very competitively priced with a $100 off coupon (expired 1/1/060). When it arrived, there were 3+ pixels that were dead. Another, right in the middle of the screen, had only green functioning. After a little web searching I found others had the same problem. Sony's web site even says a number of dead pixels is normal and you won't notice them after awhile! I wrote Amazon, who immediately placed another monitor in FedEx (...)Unfortunately, the replacement has 1 dead pixel. It's in a corner though. I looked around at other monitors but eventually decided that the Sony's brightness and color correctness (good calibration was easy to achieve) made it a very good monitor for the price (even with a dead pixel). Of course, it was already on hooked up and on my desk- convenience was certainly a factor.
In the end, if you can find this monitor (...)it's a pretty good deal but this will make me seriously think again about purchasing a Sony monitor.

Worth the extra money [Posted on 2006-12-14]
The bottom line up front: it's worth the extra cash. If you choose to buy this monitor, you will not be sorry. You will notice the high quality and sharp picture within a minute of opening the box. This monitor has that luxury, elite feel to it; you know what I'm talking about. Everyone that sits at my computer comments on how sharp the picture is and how much they like the monitor overall. I play games on the monitor and notice no ghosting. I would buy this monitor again if this one broke.
