The Sony CPDG520 Monitor is Nice and Large!

bysurferdude7 Nov 1, 2002
82 Helpfuls 83 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 4 Comments
Pros Great color, Great picture size and easy to use!
Cons The size (outside deminsions) and weight plus the price!
Recommended it? Yes

The Sony CPDG520 Monitor is considered a 21-inch monitor but in reality it measures 19.8 inches that is viewable. Not only does it have a large viewing area, it is rather heavy at 67.4 pounds! The size of it is 19.7 inches in height x 19.6 inches wide and 19.1 inches deep making it rather large for... Read full review »

Sony G520 - Great monitor

bymikeshaffer Feb 17, 2002

Pros Beautiful display, visually attractive, Sony quality.
Cons Price, damper wires, signal interference, requires monitor fan.
Recommended it? Yes

Ok I think I'm gonna cry, I just wrote a huge review and I lost it when I hit the back button.

Basically this is a great monitor. Only problems I've had are signal interference from the cheap cable (buy a different cable), damper wires are annoying, instructions manual doesn't list modes,... Read full review »

Dell P1130 (Sony G520 in disguise)

bywardak Jan 21, 2002
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Big, clear, crisp image
Cons None really
Recommended it? Yes

I shopped for a while for a new monitor and finally bought one as an upgrade from my failing 10-year-old ADI 15"er, so my review isn't necessarily going to help anyone split hairs over the different 21" monitors out there.

I read reviews like crazy, over and over, and I found that the... Read full review »

Great Monitor! Gorgeous Graphics

byguru_tweaker Aug 7, 2001

Pros Sleek Design, 2-VGA inputs, Vibrant fluid color and lots of adjustable controls
Cons Susceptible to signal "noise." Tedious adjustment controls. Text isn't...
Recommended it? Yes

I have only had this monitor a few days, and actually the first one I received had a slight deformity on the left hand side on top and bottom corners that caused the screen to contort a little, mostly noticeable with the text only. The replacement from Dell (free of charge, I might add) was for all... Read full review »

Excellent Monitor

bygeeky1 Apr 4, 2002
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros High refresh rates, resolutions
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

I have had this monitor for 8 months or so now, and I must say that it is an excellent monitor. It will do up to 2048x1536 resolution at either 80 or 85hz (I forget which). Unfortunately, even with an ATI Radeon 8500 and after raising the font size to 120% of the standard size, text in places such... Read full review »

Amazing Graphics and Color

bycritic27 Nov 30, 2003
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Amazing colors, ability to adjust/set monitor, great details.
Cons Expensive and heavy.
Recommended it? Yes

I've always preferred Sony Trinitron for monitors and TVs and found the Sony CPD-G520P 21" monitor. I did not love this monitor at first: when you first plug it into the computer, the colors are over-bright and text documents are blurry. I was supremely disappointed that I just wasted $562 for a...

Best 21" monitor for the price

byharleymatthew Sep 10, 2001
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Vibrant colors, sharp text, FLAT screen.
Cons Controls a bit awkward
Recommended it? Yes

At first, I had reservations about the price of this monitor. But, after just a few days, I have absolutely no regrets. I paid $850 seven years ago for a Sony 17" and I was extremely satisfied with the display. I researched several monitors in the 21" range and settled on the Sony G520. If you... Read full review »

Sony delivers on the G-series as usual

byMooRogue Jun 6, 2001
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Sharp image, small footprint for 21" monitor
Cons Plastic color slightly weird. Control not as nice as older model
Recommended it? Yes

I've always liked Sony Monitors. They've got a sharp image, generally flat screen and most importantly, can handle high resolutions at a high refresh rate.

I'm running the Sony G520 at 1600x1200@85Hz from multiple computers. At this resolution, the image is sharp with no flickering. The... Read full review »

Hope you get one that works.

Pros good picture when working
Cons QA, service abysmal
Recommended it? No

Nice picture, at first sight good value. Poor controls. If you buy one of these, pray it doesn't suffer infant mortality, as mine did. I purchased one new from Gateway on Oct 4th, 2001 and it died shortly after I received it. Shipped to Sony at my expense, dropped into a black hole from which it... Read full review »

I am 15 and i use my monitor all the time. This one is great for gaming and internet use. It refreshes super fast and unlike my previous 16' monitor does not bother my eyes a bit. It is bright and crisp and i regularly use 1792 x 1394 on my games, it makes them look stunning, almost like i am... Read full review »
