Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Boasting an 18.1-inch display and sleekly modern styling, the Multiscan S81 is a flexible flat screen monitor specially designed to reproduce high-quality images from analog signals. Plus, it's easy to use. Setup takes just a few minutes, thanks to the Advanced Auto ImageSet feature, a simple function that automatically sets image position, phase, and pitch adjustments.

The S81 incorporates rich color processing that optimizes both filters and backlights to create intense, high-contrast colors. With an optimum resolution of 1,280 x 1,024, a 400:1 contrast ratio, and an 85 Hz refresh rate, this LCD panel keeps your images looking their best, whether your focus is on detailed spreadsheets, the latest Web sites, or intense gaming. An anti-glare hardcoat maintains a clear view under all lighting conditions.

Sony's Zero Footprint design features a pivoting base that provides easily adjustable viewing options for multiple users, and can be detached for wall mounting. Weighing just over 18 pounds, it's less than half the size of older CRT monitors; and the two-tone gray casing smoothly blends with any decor. The included Kensington-compatible lock provides extra security for the system. Sony provides an impressive three-year limited warranty on parts, labor, and backlight.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sleek design, average performance, October 18, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Sony SDM-S81/B 18" Flat Panel LCD Monitor (Black) (Electronics)
Images and text on this monitor are ok, the design is steril and industrial. Once you get close and touch it, it feels "plasticky" and flimsy.
It is in the same price range with other 18" LCD monitors but lacks some of their features, such as a DVI input or height adjustment.
I would recommend the ViewSonic, Samsung or even the Mitsubishi monitors, due to image quality and features over this one any day.

1.0 out of 5 stars HP customer support a joke!, April 9, 2004
This review is from: Sony SDM-S81/B 18" Flat Panel LCD Monitor (Black) (Electronics)
I bought this monitor in November of '03. I have sent it back twice and still don't have possession. I was told in February of this year that they would put a "rush" on it for repair. Still haven't seen it! I guess their idea of a rush and mine are two different things.
I was a HUGE Sony fan. Was is the key word here. They will not replace it, sent it back once and said there was nothing wrong with it after having it for 5 weeks. I guess they don't mind having blurred print and discolorations throughout. I will not be buying another Sony product again. Customer support is now an oxymoron.

This review is from: Sony SDM-S81/B 18" Flat Panel LCD Monitor (Black) (Electronics)
Nice, clear monitor. True colors and viewing angle is a plus. Graphics/text are sharp and clear from any angle. Would highly recommend.
