Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The G520's short-neck cathode-ray tube design squeezes an extensive 19.8-inch screen into a unit that's less than 19 inches deep, freeing up some much needed space in close work quarters. A tube that's 50 percent shorter than conventional CRTs places all 21 inches of viewing area comfortably onto any desktop.
Image clarity is maximized with a 0.24-millimeter aperture grille pitch, and Sony's Enhanced Elliptical Correction System automatically corrects picture deformation for sharper video. The G520's large screen area packs a palette of resolutions to adapt to a variety of video memory freedoms and constraints. A maximum resolution of 1,600 by 1,200 at 75 Hz can accommodate the most demanding video requirements of your applications, from DVD to CAD design.
Sony's GeoLock circuitry erects an impervious barrier between the CRT and any stray electromagnetic field the G520 may encounter, resulting in consistently stable, uniform image projection. Active Signal Correction eliminates the need to manually adjust the screen settings by instantly optimizing the basic picture controls for largest viewing area. All digital controls are still available, however, at the touch of the keypad below the screen.
The G520 is intended for Windows NT/98 platform communication with PCs, but it's fully Macintosh compatible as well. Dual input control allows for simultaneous connection to two computers, including a Macintosh and PC at the same time. International Energy Star compliance ensures limited emissions and more efficient power consumption.
From the Manufacturer
The Sony Multiscan G520 monitor is ideal for the demanding professional. The virtually flat, high-resolution CRT display provides an impressive 19.8-inch viewing screen in a sleekly functional cabinet. Incorporating two HD-15 connectors that allow you to support multiple PCs, the "smart cable" design minimizes clutter by neatly angling all cables downward. This solidly built 20-inch cube is also an excellent choice for home use, as its sturdy casing blends well with any environment and is sure to withstand the most rigorous use. An antireflective hard coat provides a clear view for users under all lighting conditions.
The fine 0.24-millimeter aperture grille pitch delivers superior image clarity and brighter colors, making it perfect for everything from spreadsheets and graphic presentations to browsing the Internet and advanced gaming. With its optimal resolution of 1,880 x 1,440 and a refresh rate of 85 Hz, this monitor's performance is sure to please in every application.

SONY CPD G520 image stability and service commitment lacking,
By -=ed "edtherom" (Florence, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony CPD-G520 21" FD Trinitron CRT Monitor (Electronics)
After 3 different units, I have not been able to get one that doesn't have a slight shake. For three months I've sent units back to Sony 4 times, with no satisfaction.I have three other monitors in the same room, a samsung, a princeton, and a smaller sony, and they are all rock-solid. What does it say about the quality of this...unit if it shakes, sometimes a lot, when these $[money] models from other manufacturers function perfectly. Sony has told me they are "finished" with me, as it must be my problem, not their equipment. I feel that they should stand behind their stuff, as it didn't work correctly ou of the box. Some were worse than others, and the last one only shakes a little, but still, it's a $[money] piece of equipment!!! I returned the first unit, one day after I got it, to their local [Boston] repair site, and got back a REFURBISHED unit, which was not only against their own stated policy, but illegal in Massachusetts, and probably other states. After talking to innumerable people, Scott Lake, the supervisor, decided that Sony was not going to really stand behind their product, and informed me that they would not attempt to find the problem, replace the unit again, or refund my money, as I believe the law in Mass says they have to. I informed him that I was a totally disabled veteran, and this would be a terrible hardship for me, but I was told, basically, to buzz off. I'm sure that many people are very satisified with SONY stuff, as I was with my GDM 2038...but when you are the unlucky one, you could end up with an eye-bender like this one, and an eye-opening service experience like this one too... almost 3 months of waiting, moving, repacking and reshipping... trying hard to solve the problem, and to be treated like this yeech.... SONY should be ashamed... When I try to sell it, I'll take a $[money] hit off the top because it is "refurbished" rather than a new replacement. This is just a word to the wise. The shine is off the SONY star for me. I think that Small Claims Court is my next stop.

The greatest monitor in its price range !,
By "joeyv6" (San Francisco, ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony CPD-G520 21" FD Trinitron CRT Monitor (Electronics)
I have had this monitor for two weeks now. My first impression is its ease of setup. I had no sweat adjusting all the setup without even looking at the manual. The "Picture Effect" button on the front menu can help you choose the best display that suits your need. The On-Screen menu is really easy to navigate. I run the resolution at 1280x1024 85Mhz Refresh Rate. Text is crystal clear all the way to 1600x1200. Anything above is starting to degrade but still readable. Playing Quake3 is pretty impressive. One other plus is that this monitor has 2 inputs so that you can run two systems with only one monitor by switching between each other using monitor's "Input" button. The only thing that is negative about this monitor is its weight and size. I actually had to pull my desk 10" off the wall so that I can still have space for keyboard and mouse. Overall, this monitor is the greatest within this price range. I can't think of any other monitor at this price that can compete with G520.

Interesting. 'Still love Trinitron after all these years...,

This review is from: Sony CPD-G520 21" FD Trinitron CRT Monitor (Electronics)
...I'm a graphic designer, and have tried hard to use the 'top shelf' LCD monitors for over 10 years now... and still prefer my (Dell) Sony 21" Trinitron that I bought new in ... hmmmm... 1998!!! It still serves me well, and after all these years, only takes about 5 minutes to 'warm up' (in it's old age). Now, I just received this Sony G520 Trinitron monitor - 2 years used - and it is soooo much better than the LCD monitor that it replaced (I have two work stations). Why? : Sharper images that represent the photo product/color - more realistic/clearer type/text/font... NOT wide-screen... (why would I need 'wide-screen' anyway?! 'Not playing 'wide-screen' games.) For the price of $120 (plus $50 shipping), I believe I've scored big time! ;-) Crisp, vibrant images - works better with mouse, too. Love it! (get 'um used while you can folks... you can't buy 'em new!) -s
