5.0 out of 5 stars amazing monitor, March 9, 2005

This monitor replaced my old 17"Trinitron, and my old CRT will never be missed. The Sony SDM-S74 is a superb monitor. The dual DVI-VGA inputs makes the monitor even more versatile. The picture is crisp, and the response is fast (both in active video, and in turning on since there is no degaussing for LCDs). Of course, the fact that it is about 1/5 the size of my old CRT and comes with a built-in cable guide (it runs the cables down the center stand) means that my real-world desktop is that much less cluttered.

There are cheaper monitors, but for the LCD monitors i looked at, this monitor is really unbeatable. As an academic who is frequently online, i use this monitor to view texts and do text-based research, as well as hours and hours of writing; the crispness of this monitor is better for text viewing than many other LCDs, and certainly better than any CRT i've ever used. I also watch movies on it and notice no difference between it and my old CRT (except that my new Sony actually offers a greater viewing area than my old supposedly 17" CRT).

My only potential caveat is that it does cost more than other monitors. This is offset for me by several factors: the quality and response of this LCD versus other LCDs, and quality of manufacture that Sony is renowned for, and the blunt fact that i spend hours in front of this mechanism, so it needs to be as high-quality as possible, while still inside of my reasonable budget: this LCD monitor wins the combination of factors.

I can't write enought good things about the Sony SDM-S74.

This review is from: Sony SDM-S74/B 17IN LCD-1280X1024 75HZ BLK (Electronics)

This display provides crisp clean images in great color. Sony's are known for the best pixel up/down times, 12ms I think, and these displays show it. One thing I particularly like is the fact that the bezel on these is very slim, not a huge frame like in comparable displays. I could go on about how great these are, but it sums it up equally well if I just say that these are a great buy.
