4.0 out of 5 stars
You better act fast!,
By Ny-er (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony SDM-HS93/B Flat Panel 19" LCD Monitor (Black) (Electronics)
Right now Sony has a rebate offer in conjunction with many electronics stores, including amazon and J&R. This allows you to buy the 19 inch model at the same price as the 17 inch! But I believe you have to do so before Jan.1 2005.
I agonized for about two months on what kind of Sony monitor to buy (I had my heart set on Sony because it's been a reliable company with reliable and above-average products in my experience) ... and finally after miles and miles of research I settled on this one. Why? Response time and contrast ratio. When you're shopping for LCD's a friend who's a computer whiz said those two factors are imperative in getting a good deal -- not to mention a decent monitor. And when I saw that I could buy the 19 inch version at the same price as the 17 inch version, well, it kind of sealed the deal. I use the monitor to write, surf the web and play video games. The dimensions of color are amazing. The monitor has no problems keeping up with intensive graphical video games, in fact I'd say the resolution and response time is a marked improvement to my old CRT monitor. Also, if you've been used to using a CRT monitor (the older kind), these flat screen monitors will probably make you go "wow!" ... my old CRT monitor was 19 inches, but this new Sony monitor seems so much bigger. I really didn't think there would be that much of a difference between a CRT monitor and a LCD one, but it's rather impressive. And the frame its held in, is very, well ... artistic. You can begin thinking of your monitor as a piece of art, instead of a functioning tool. Out of the box it comes with a standard monitor cable that connects to any video card, a manual, and a power cord. If you have Windows XP, you don't even need the driver CD that comes with it. XP sets it all up for you instantly -- plug n' play. It doesn't have a digital interface, but you can get a connector to "go digital" with your graphics card. The only downside of this monitor is that it is of such high caliber that to get true font and resolution, you have to use it at a very high setting. Unfortunately my eyesight isn't as good as it once was, so I had to reduce the resolution, which means you get some shadowing on type, but not enough to bother. For those working with graphic design on a daily basis, this monitor would give you the high resolution you'd need to complete complex artistic tasks. My monitor didn't have the pixel problem that I've read with other reviews of Sony LCDs -- where one pixel point on the screen is dead. All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend it.

Great monitor, a bit more expensive than competitors,
By
This review is from: Sony SDM-HS93/B Flat Panel 19" LCD Monitor (Black) (Electronics)
Pro: Great monitor, bright, high contrast
Con: zero This is a great monitor. Really bright and high contrast. The price tag is considerably higher than competiting products. Yet, it's a Sony. I'd give it 5 stars if the price is lower, or, if Sony adds speakers or digital inputs (DVI).

NICE STYLISH LCD,
By
This review is from: Sony SDM-HS93/B Flat Panel 19" LCD Monitor (Black) (Electronics)
I have owned this LCD for 3 years and it has been problem free. The design is curvy and nice and that's the best thing I like about it..no ugly complicated plastics or speakers or dots everywhere like others, this minimalist design is appealing. Too bad it has no DVI, but then that was 3-4 years ago. Somehow I am getting only 60hz refresh rate using analogue all this time. Color is really nice and vivid. I will continue to buy products from Sony.
