Summary: -5 stars and more
Review: Sony must have put in designed 14 month failure
I purchased 4 of these monitors and on there 14th month each one of them failed faded to black

Summary: Horrible image quality
Review: This LCD has a very unfocused image. The problem is most noticeable in low-contrast situations, such as black text on a gray background. I tried three of this display on two video cards and had the same result each time.

Summary: They should Pay People to Take These
Review: This monitor WILL die (average life span is about 1 and 1/2 years). Sony WILL NOT replace it (they will only offer to refurbish it). Mine is going, going, gone. It fades to white then colored horizontal and vertical lines. Obvious mass defect in this model. I've seen so many articles online from unhappy Sony customers. You've been warned.

Review: Very slim and stylish. Just how a 21st century monitor should look. I bought this LCD for my home and chose this model in particular because I wanted a lighter, thinner, more elegant monitor... a monitor that you'd actually want to look at... a conversation piece. This model in particular is just that. It's like picking up a picture frame, rather than a 17" TV. OK, maybe it doesn't have many bells and whistles, didn't get #1 best anything, or isn't even the best value. But who cares? I paid the extra to get this one over the cheaper ones because it just looks so cool and it's less than 2 inches thick, so pleasing to the eye. All the other cheaper LCDs are too bulky in appearance and still look like a CRT from the front.
