Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Sturdy and attractive, this economically priced monitor delivers consistent performance on an 18-inch screen. The two-tone compact cabinet is considerably less bulky than older CRT monitors, and the monitor offers a maximum resolution of 1,920 x 1,440 at a refresh rate of 60 Hz. With its 27 presets and four color adjustment modes, you're guaranteed crisp images on a flicker-free screen at lower resolutions.

Other features include a powered USB Hub with one upstream and four downstream ports, super-fine pitch 0.24-0.25mm aperture grille, compatibility with Windows 95/98/2000/NT/Me and Macintosh, three preset picture modes (professional, standard, and dynamic), EZ Navigator onscreen controls, nine languages, and dual switchable inputs (15 pin mini D-sub and BNC x 5).

Included in the box are power cord, two cables, and user's manual; no Macintosh adapter is needed for this versatile monitor. Sony provides a three-year onsite warranty covering parts and labor.

From the Manufacturer

The Sony MultiScan G420S 19-inch display is ideal for the demanding corporate professional. The visually flat, high-resolution Trinitron CRT, combined with the tight 0.24-millimeter (minimum) aperture grille pitch, delivers superior image clarity and brighter colors--making it perfect for everything from spreadsheets and detailed graphic presentations to browsing the Internet and gaming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Watching DVD's and Retouching Digital Photos, September 3, 2002

By 

MartyHansen (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sony CPD-G420S 19" FD Trinitron CRT Monitor (Electronics)

I bought this Sony 19" Trinitron Monitor with the intention of watching DVD movies and retouching digital photos. I've been very pleased.

For DVD's, the picture is sharp, and, with my Sony Vaio computer, the action is smooth and continuous.

For photo retouching, the resolution is high, and the color reproduction (as compared to the actual printed photo) is extremely accurate.

The monitor was plug-and-play (no adjustments necessary when I installed it, nor again since). The monitor's (exterior) color also matches my Sony Vaio (desktop) precisely. (Cool!)

I could've gotten a LCD monitor. But it would've been smaller and less sharp. The 19" Trinitron was the largest that would fit on my desk. Overall, I've been very happy.

For maximum DVD and digital photo performance -- this is clearly the monitor to get!

1.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Pay Extra For A Sony, June 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Sony CPD-G420S 19" FD Trinitron CRT Monitor (Electronics)

I paid extra to buy a Sony with the expectation that it would be a more reliable product and with the further expectation that if I were to have problem with the monitor that Sony would stand behind its product. Unfortunately that has not proven to be the case. The monitor began to develop problems three weeks after the warranty had expired and Sony's response was essentially "tough luck".
