4.0 out of 5 stars Sony CPD-G200, December 3, 2000

By	PAUL KANIECKI (BALTIMORE, MD United States) - See all my reviews

A lot of reading and visiting stores went into this purchase..time well spent. When compared to Samsung and Viewsonic, this Sony wins hands down. The aperature grill tube is 50% brighter than the shadow mask tubes. The price was a little more, but the Sony reliability and techology is worth the difference. Set up was a snap, took 5 minutes. The only draw back is the On Screen Display controll ball (located under the front edge of the screen). It's location puts your wrist at an awkward angle to make adjustments, which are easy and logical to do. There is a nice reset button which fixes your initial errors in geometry adjustments. Focas is sharp and crisp even at 1280x1024. This model's 85mhz refresh rate has absolutely no flicker.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good little Monitor, March 10, 2001

By	"warnog" (Bryan, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

After carefully going over many different makes/models of CRT's i finally decided on the Sony CPD-G200. Due to space contraints, i went with this relativly small-footprint 17" monitor. I work mainly with spreadsheets and 2D(some 3D) graphics, and so far the monitor has had GREAT color, clarity, contrast and looks rock solid at 1280x1024 @ 85Hz with no eye strain from all night work sessions. It turns on fast, looks simple/clean, leaves me more desk space and is trouble free. i use his bigger 19" brother at work all day and am very satisfied with my purchase.
