Have you checked out the Viewsonics? I have a G810 and love it ($439 shipped at
Newegg). It has a slightly finer dot pitch than the Sony, but it doesn't have a
flat screen. For that, either the G220F or P225F would be a good choice.

Philips also makes some good ones. I've a 201B and it's great.

Personally I think Sony is overpriced. If you like the display, then I'd
look for their tube (the Trinitron, which is a good one as long as the 2 or
3 horizontal wires don't bother you) in the monitor of a different brand. A
number of brands use the Trinitron tube in several of their models.

I've been following all three of these monitor threads for a few
weeks and have a Q about the Viewsonic models. I'm looking at the
P90f and the P95f+, but I don't know the difference in them. There
seems to be a difference in the CRTs, but I don't know what that
difference is.
Can someone shed some light on this subject?
Thanks....

Viewsonic's website lets you compare any of their monitors within a series.
http://www.viewsonic.com/products/p...y_crt_product_f
amily=4
Check the ones you want to compare and hit "compare" at the top of the chart.
On those two, it looks like there's a difference in optimal resolution, color
of the housing and one has the "ultrabright" feature.

Fine if you lie good, but overpriced monitors. Equally as good are the
Iiyama range and at a better price.

Ouch. I was looking at the UK new price on the E530 (£581.63) vs. the
U.S. price on the Apple ($1200-$1300). I don't think the E530 is sold
in the U.S. The F520 costs more than the Apple LCD ($1,517.00 at
<http://www.logicalplus.com/sonmulgd21in.html> ). But the E540 is only
$515.

Until it breaks, like most Sony products inevitably do. I've given up on
that company across the board, and will never buy another Sony product
until they return their attention to quality control and manufacturing
defect-free products that last.

I'm hearing the same sentiment all over the place. Read comments
e.g. from TV/monitor repairmen over in sci.electronics.repair.
Apparently Sony's bean counters have gotten the best of their
company. It's a shame they now cripple such as great CRT with
mediocre supporting components.

And it's not limited to monitors or general computer equipment,
either... I won't touch anything with the word "Sony" on it across the
board, be it a monitor, cordless phone, stereo component, gaming system,
etc. Just too many problems...
It's sad... their stuff used to be great.
