Pros: great screen quality, very reliable
Cons: price, loud degauss when you turn it on
The Bottom Line: Great monitor! I will keep it until it dies of old-age or whatever makes monitors stop working (probably me dropping it...)

| munchkin's Full Review: Sony ES Series Model 200 17 inch CRT Monitor |
I've had my Sony CPD-200es for almost two years, and I have never regretted my purchase. The on-screen controls are easy to use, the picture quality is fabulous. The colors are true and bright, and there is no noticible distortion around the edges of the screen. I've never had any of the "flicker" that you see in low-end monitors, or the fading that occurs to a lot of monitors over the years.
There are only two things I dislike, one is the loud noise of the degauss when you turn the monitor on. It only lasts a second, but still takes me by surprise after two years. The second is the two thin, horizontal, fishing-wire-like lines that all Trinitrons have. They usually don't bother me, but sometimes when I'm frustrated with something I'm working on, I fixate on those lines and get annoyed. I know, probably more of a personal problem than a monitor problem.
Anyways, I have never regretted my monitor purchase. I will keep it until it dies of old-age or whatever makes monitors stop working (probably me dropping it...)
