I agree Simon. I have a Mitsubishi 87TXM 17", and my motherh as a sony
ES17". Yeah, mine was 638 2 years ago, and hers was 399 a year ago...but
they are the best monitors I have seen. Brighter, sharper, and much much
better color. Yeah, both have the damper wires, the Mitsu is a
Diamondtron. I am a college student, so I do plenty of documents, but I
hardly notice the wires anymore...if I do, its when I am pointing it out to
somebody. The extra price and the very very minor inconvenience of the
wires pales in comparison to the benefit the visual quality. I am a
quality over quantity person. When I am talking to staff about getting a
new computer or monitor, I ALWAYS go for Sony. I explain it this way "Do
you want to see a big ugly picture, or do you want to see a smaller
beautiful picture...which is not even that much smaller, especially if you
get a 19""
