Yes, i've heard that SONY's have excellent performance and reputations, but they're also very expensive. A SONY 17" costs about the same as the NEC 21" that I have. Yes, i know, i got what i paid for. The thing is, when the monitor is working properly, the picture quality is very good. I run it at 1600x1200 85Hz refresh rate, and its crystal clear. I happen to have a much older generic brand 17" monitor on another box sitting side by side with this one, and the difference in picture quality (forget resolution improvement) is startling. My wife always ignored me or laughed when i commented in the past that the picture quality was better. Now that she's sitting at the older 17", she has admitted that there is a noticable difference. ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
