A few months ago I was lucky enough to be offered a new television by my dad. I thought long and hard about it and realized that I spend more time looking at my computer monitor than watching television. So I took the cash and went down to PC world to look at what was on display, the SONY CPD-E400 was the best totally flat screen monitor by far. It really dos make a big difference having a flat screen with no reflected glare. The range of screen resolutions is very large and they are all rock steady. At the moment it is set to 1800 by 1440 pixels and the standard windows fonts are easily legible, running at this screen resolution means that I can have four internet explorer windows arranged on the screen at the same time. It has comprehensive menu driven adjustments and a fitted lead with a standard monitor plug on the end. The only criticism I can think of is that when you display a 100% Wight screen you can just make out two faint shadow lines running horizontally about ¼ of the way up the screen and ¾ of the way up, these are caused by the internal fittings of the CRT, but they hardly show up. All in all a very fine monitor.
