UPDATE: SORRY FOR THE RATING MISTAKE!!! And due to the outpour to update, I have updated this review.


Sony does it again. Sony is now a name for quality electronic equipment. The Sony HMD-A200 flat screen monitor is a stylish monitor that is very easy for anyone to install or to use. At £300, it is a very good deal. The Screen comes in 19-21 inches and has a 4-way USB port which is useful when using Digital Cameras etc. The center button menu is very interesting. When pushed to the side, the tint and light control comes out. When pushed straight down, the Size, Language, color, Degauss etc. menu comes up. The Screen is flat so it is gentle on your eyes when using the computer for extended amounts of time. And with 24 hours customer care number, it is easy when having problems with this monitor. The monitor is easy to install and has a instructions booklet written in 7 languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, and Japanese).

When you use this monitor, all images come out clear and very detailed. Note thought that sometimes DVD's have a tendancy to show poor quality in colors, but that happens about 1 in 100 times. Degaussing when this happens usually corrects this. Games such as GTA 3 or Roller Coaster Tycoon come in vast color and details are easier to view than most conventional monitors. The best viewing size is 1152 by 856 pixels when using windows. On games, 800 by 600 is best.

Sony has shown quality in mostly all their products. This monitor is truly one of the best on the market.

Hi - you have made a good basis for a very detailed op but you need to extend it by adding more product detail and include more personal experiences with this monitor - e.g. what is the monitor best for? (Graphics or movies). I'm sure that if the detail is improved this op will be worthy of a VH! Steve

My current 20" Sony monitor has served me for a few years of pleasurable viewing and I hope to get a large TFT Sony next time around if the funds will stretch! You only give this 1 out of 5 in your rating! :-s
