Sony ES Series Model 200 17 inch CRT Monitor

Pros: Clean, crisp display (for a while)
Cons: Dies, and Sony won't stand behind it. Not worth the premium

There's no doubt that the display on the CPD 200ES was clean and crisp and really nice. However, the display quality deteriorated over time, even with my very light usage.

As a number of reviewers have noted, the Sony display carries a...

Pros: crystal clear picture
Cons: 2 horizontal lines in screen, but barely noticeable

I love my sony cpd 200es. I originally needed a monitor when my old 15" panasonic junk monitor developed a 2 inch blue perimeter on the screen. Thinking back to the Sony trinitron Television my parents bought in the 70's, which had wood grain panel on...

Pros: Sleek, flat screen, vivid and true colors, sharp images, nice looking
Cons: Tried hard, but can't think of any

Since I have a new Sony Vaio PC, I needed a new monitor to serve it. This,too, was purchased from an auction, and I have to tell you, I am impressed.

First, it is pretty, and it makes me want to organize the clutter on my desk and keep things...

Pros: great color and image quality
Cons: none

Is it me or do I always try to find the good in everything.Well once again I have found some good in my Sony cpd 200ES monitor.I bought this one for work because one of my employees told me that it was an excellent monitor,and boy is he right(this might...

Pros: Crystal clear screen, great support
Cons: Who? What? Where?

Side by side, the Sony CPD-200ES blew the doors off a competitor’s equivalent model. I'm talking rich, deep color depth here. Vivid colors. No question in my mind as to which model to purchase. I was blown away by the difference when comparing monitors....

Pros: great screen quality, very reliable
Cons: price, loud degauss when you turn it on

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...

Pros: Great dpi, easy functions
Cons: noisy turn on

I must admit I have had several Sony products leave me out in the cold, but my Playstation and my monitor are the only two that haven't.
I really wanted a flat panel, but until they get real on the pricing, I decided to go with the Sony, and I was...

Pros: Excellent Picture, decently priced
Cons: more expensive than most other monitor manufacturers

I recently finished building another computer and didn't even think about the monitor until after it was all put together. As a side note, I usually recommend buying a pre-manufacturered computer at first and then upgrading all the parts one at a time...

Pros: Excellent picture and typical Sony quality
Cons: Limited resolution and one heck of a price tag

My first monitor was a cheap Acer 15 inch. The picture was slanted and there was no way to adjust it. Fonts and icons looked "fuzzy" and out of focus sometimes. Colors were bland and resolution wouldn't go beyond 800 x 600.

Enter the Sony CPD...

Pros: Stunning Visuals, Performance, SONY
Cons: none

In my opinion, SONY monitors are the best monitors made! Just about everything SONY makes is phenomenal, and this monitor definitely applies! The quality and clarity of the monitor is so wonderful, why would I want anything else?

The Sony...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Thin Horizontal Line

I believe other people who wrote review pretty much explained how great this monitor is, If you want 17 inch monitor this is the monitor you want, other people stated all the specification and durability ETC, but i believe no one wrote Con of this...

Pros: Great Quality, Gorgeous Color
Cons: It Retains Its High Purchase Price

When my old monitor kicked the bucket, I was in great distress. I HAD to have a monitor that night, so we drove to Office Depot for our "emergency" buy. It was almost 9:00 p.m., their closing time; however, sensing a quick sale they...

Pros: Clear sharp picture
Cons: none

I purchased the Sony 200ES 17 inch monitor at Circuit City for $349.00. I really like the quality that is represented by this product.


The monitor has about 16 inches viewable which isn't too bad. It has a high refresh, infact I run...

Pros: color, sharp
Cons: expensive

Although I have an earlier model monitor-200sx, these two are very similar. From the first day I brought it, I knew I would never will buy another brand of monitor again. The image is sharp, distortion is minimal and the color is brilliant. I never...

Pros: Colour resolution and colour accuracy(very natural colours)
Cons: probably can only find now on say ebay as crt's are getting old now

Best thing about this monitor is quality of the colours, i mean it looks to me like socond to none. The depth of the colours is amazing especially the blues. The monitor is fantastic for watching video or pc t.v. Sony will never make rubbish quality in this field, this is their specialisation and reputation - television and video equipment. Most professional organizations like the B.B.C and others consider Sony, Panasonic and Thorn to be historically the best stuff on the market.
