The Best CRT I've Seen

 

The Best CRT I've Seen

I have had this monitor for 7 years. I am a webmaster and use the monitor 8 to 10 hours six days a week. You do the math of running time. All the USB ports still work and the image is clearer than some LCD's I have seen, especially the ones that...

Good monitor....if you manage to NOT get a defective one

As other users have commented, this monitor is attractive and its 4 USB ports easily come in handy for all those USB devices on your desk. However, the hard part is getting an HMD-A200 that isn't defective. Before ending up with a fully functional...

I really liked this monitor when I got it. It looked great and I loved the wide screen on it. I spent 350 on it and was hoping I didn't have to buy a new monitor. Well this monitor only came with a 1 year manufacturer warranty and broke in a year and 3...

I have had my Sony HMD a200 for a few years now and have been pleased by it's performance. In the first year, the 4 usb ports were awesome and made a lot of my gaming friends jealous. But by the end of year one, or in the middle of year 2, all of the...

A great monitor!

I bought this monitor second-hand for my mother, to go with her new computer. Everyone in my family who has seen it has been impressed with it. At first I was worried about the wire shadows, since some users have complained about them, but they are...

I purchased this monitor from Comp-USA. It failed after 10 months. I took a month to straighten out the paperwork, Comp-USA had the wrong serial number on my invoice. The Refurbished unit arrived and died after 4 months. Not a very good track...

Product Specifications

The Decor@ A200/L 17.0" display (16.0" VIS) with its superb image quality and attractive, sleek styling, is the perfect addition to today's home or small office. Designed in slate blue and silver to match the Sony VAIO PC, it is excellent for playing games or surfing the Internet. The Decor@ A200/L sets a new standard for high-performance display for the home. The virtually flat FD Trinitron CRT and tight aperture grille pitch deliver true colors and sharp, crisp images. The sheer flatness of the display screen - along with a high contrast black coating - direct reflected light away from the line of vision, reducing glare and washout. And, it is easy on the eyes in more ways than one! With its unique color and design the Decor@ A200/L is a stylish fit for any home environment. It also features a 4 port USB hub for easy connection of peripheral devices, and the DisplayMouse menu control to simplify monitor set-up and adjustment.
