Quick Glance
Screen Size: 18.1 in
Included Interfaces: Video - 15 pin High-Density D-shell (VGA), Video - Plug & Display(TM) Analog/Digital (VESA)
Weakness: Not the quality you would expect from Sony
Even though it comes with a 3Yr warranty, expect to spend a couple of weeks without the monitor plus $35 for "exchange shipping charges" at least every 6 months.

Strengths: Picture quality, excellent text clarity, excellent graphics, DVI and analog, dual inputs
Weakness: Price, no included DVI cable

There is a totally differnt dimension with DVI vs analog connection. Two inputs...

After only 4 weeks, vertical lines start showing up across the entire screen. The vertical lines changes to different colors of blue, red, white depending on the background color. Self diagnosis function did not detect problem. Call SONY and Rep...
Strengths: Brilliant, clear image even with analog input;
Analog + Digital inputs;
2 switchable video+sound inputs
Weakness: Built-in speakers are tinny, but fine for most use
I have enjoyed using the SDM-M81. The display is bright and clear-- I can't tell that it is running on the analog input since it does what appears to be a near-perfect job of recreating the digital data at 1280x1024. At lower resolutions, it does an adequate job of smoothing the input to match the native 1280x1024 resolution. The on-screen menus give three choices of smoothing, but only the...
