Sony SDM-M51 15" LCD Monitor

 (11 customer reviews)

Just purchased this 15" LCG monitor and love it. I replaced a Sony CRT 17" and found the viewable area to be equal to the CRT. Colors are brilliant and text sharp. Plug and play, with no need to utilize any additional software. At 9# and slim depth my Desktop looks like a desk again. Set at 1024x768 32bit true color. I could'nt be more pleased

Like the other reviewer, I initially had a difficult time getting the resolution that I had gotten in a previously owned LCD monitor. I quickly learned that I had the refresh rate set too low for the screen size that I had selected. Once I boosted the refresh to 75, everything fell into place. The image is bright, crisp, and very clear. I use this monitor as one of two that I use for photo editing. The picture quality is often better than my Sony Trinitron monitor. I'm glad I made this purchase.

Very slim and stylish. Just how a 21st century monitor should look. I bought this LCD for my home and chose this model in particular because I wanted a lighter, thinner, more elegant monitor... a monitor that you'd actually want to look at... a conversation piece. This model in particular is just that. It's like picking up a picture frame, rather than a 17" TV. OK, maybe it doesn't have many bells and whistles, didn't get #1 best anything, or isn't even the best value. But who cares? I paid the extra to get this one over the cheaper ones because it just looks so cool and it's less than 2 inches thick, so pleasing to the eye. All the other cheaper LCDs are too bulky in appearance and still look like a CRT from the front.
