Summary: Beautiful Display, Both On and Off
Review: I've almost never written a review, so in other words, I'm excited about this monitor. I admit I was drawn first by the styling, but am still delighted with the gorgeous picture quality, whenever I use the HS93. I'm very fussy, a heavy graphics/multimedia user, and am really glad I found this one.From what I'd read, dead pixels are pretty common in LCDs, especially as they get bigger, so maybe some of us are lucky there (I almost expected some). Apparently it's not considered a big deal, but of course once you spot it, you'll never not see it again kinda thing. It's also a good idea to adjust brightness down, and your icons and font sizes up, because they get so small at this res. I'm impressed with how easy/intuitive it is to do everything too. Some people might want to try contrast (lowering, probably) and use the different options available *fun, after a CRT!* And the viewability angle is excellent (as far as I know that's the only reason to care about flatness). I need a new tv soon, maybe it's time to try a Sony...

Summary: Sony quality in doubt
Review: This is a beautiful monitor but it went black after 1 week. It was quickly exchanged and the 2nd one went black after 5 weeks. (Green pilot light stayed on.) They were AC powered (120.0 Volts)in a university office environment (70F)with surge protection. Never lost a pixel on either one, however.

Summary: Excellent LCD Monitor
Review: This is the best looking 19inch monitor available. It has great 700:1 contrast ratio (good for blacker blacks and whiter whites) - making movie watching an awesome experience. Although there is no DVI, picture quality is superb. Text is supersharp (I use window's Cleartype to smooth it out) even with analog only input. Sony understands the importance of picture quality and included a VERY short and thick analog cable. The shorter the cable is, the smaller the chance of signal deterioration. Buyer beware, placement might be an issue due to the short cable. 25ms response time is enough for most games, but when playing fast games, ghosting IS there. For example, in Unreal Tournament 2003, the flyby cam is fast enough to cause ghosting. Also, I'm not sure how consistent Sony's quality control is, but my particular LCD came with ZERO dead or hot pixels. That's GOOD for a 19inch LCD. PROS:
+picture quality is superb
+excellent 700:1 contrast ratio
+25ms reponse time fast enough for movies and most games
+beautiful frame/monitor design (the best looking series of flat panels right now imo)
+1024x768 native resolution is perfect for gamers (1600x1200 is too high, and 1024x768 is too low) CONS:
-cost is among the most expensive 19" LCDs
-no DVI support (but includes short analog cable to minimize signal loss)
-no height adjustment *for reference I am using this monitor with an ATI All-In-Wonder 9700 Pro
