Author's Review
I just purchased this monitor a couple of months ago. I've been very happy with it.

I spend numerous hours a day on the computer and find that the smaller monitors really were getting harder and harder to see and often walked away from my day with a computer headache! I often found myself leaning way into the screen to read text and such. I decided to go for it and get this big 21" monitor. Being a Sony I was sure that it would be of good quality, and I was right. The picture is very clear and crisp with great color saturation. I can now sit back a bit and relax more in my chair and still can see every thing on the screen with out leaning way in to read.

There is a slight defect in this particular monitor in which there two very light lines that go across the screen. You'd probably never notice them if someone didn't point them out. The sales person alerted me to it before I bought it but they are hardly noticeable, and don't personally bother me.

The monitor is very heavy and bulky but once its set up you are good to go! Make sure you have plenty of room on your desk to accommodate the large depth. I have a corner desk unit so it has plenty of room to fit.

The controls on the bottom of the monitor can be a little confusing to work, they take some time to get used to.

This is another great product from sony and I highly recommend it!
