Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The GDM F520's short-neck CRT design squeezes an extensive 19.8 inches of viewing area into a unit less than 19 inches deep, allowing for increased space in close quarters. A cathode-ray tube that's 50 percent shorter than conventional CRTs places the entire 21-inch screen comfortably on any desktop. Image clarity is maximized with a 0.22-millimeter aperture grille pitch, and Sony's Enhanced Elliptical Correction System automatically corrects picture deformation for sharper video. The GDM F520's large screen area packs a full palette of resolutions to adapt to a variety of video memory freedoms and constraints. A maximum resolution density of 1,800 x 1,440 dpi at 80 Hz can accommodate your applications' most demanding video requirements, from DVD to CAD design.
Sony's GeoLock circuitry erects an impervious barrier between the CRT and any stray electromagnetic field the GDM F520 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 available, however, at the touch of the keypad below the screen. The GDM F520 is intended for Windows NT/98 platform communication with PCs but is fully Macintosh compatible. Dual input control allows for simultaneous connection to two computers, including both Macintosh and PC at once. International Energy Star compliance ensures limited emissions and more efficient power consumption. Four active USB ports are built into the base for lightning fast transfer rates.

A great monitor when new -- but horribly unreliable,
By
This review is from: Sony GDM-F520 21" FD Trinitron CRT Monitor (Electronics)
I purchased three of these for my firm, and all had severe focus problems that plagued them within three months. When new, they were beautifully sharp, but they started to "drift" in and out of focus, so badly that text at higher resolutiuons was a mere gray blur. Sony service has been very reluctant to cure the problem, returning the monitors with the same problem after claiming they were repaired . I would recommend the NEC units instead; we have had good luck with all 5 of the flat 21 inch units we have. FYI, Sony service is extremely difficult to contact. Plan on spending hours on hold queues, often to be transferred to busy signals or dead lines. This has been consistent over my two months of experience with them. Very dissappointing for such a large company. By the way, nobody at service can give you a direct line, so you must wade through endless (and changing) teleprompt menus and wait through multiple hold queues (each one at risk of killing you with the busy or dead line) every time you call just to get an intelligent update on your repair orders.

Below average, actually worse,
By Rick30 (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony GDM-F520 21" FD Trinitron CRT Monitor (Electronics)
I posted this review at other sites as well. I feel obligated to do so. I hope it helps to "warn" consumers a bit. Here goes:I recently bought a Sony GDM F520. Right after it arrived, I had it returned.It had bad geometry, bad convergence, yellow "stains" at the right side of the screen. So did the second I got. And so did the third I got. Only the third now also has about 15 bad subpixels and an effect at the right side of the screen that looks like condensed water, I dont now how else to describe it. I have tested the screens on multiple systems, so the problem isnt caused by the videocard (tested on 3 systems containing a matrox g400, a Radeon, an asus geforce2 gts ) Sony (The Netherlands) doesn't "see" the things I point out, and say the screens were perfect. Allthough they obviously were not. I am very disappointed about it all. I now still have a faulty screen and no service. Not a screen I would recommend to others. Next time it will be an Eizo for me, or a Mitsubishi / Nec. With kind regards, Rick (the Netherlands)

Had it for a year. Perfect and problem free, and it's on almost all the time. Rock solid, sharp, even color. Flawless.
