Editorial Review:
A full 20-inch TFT LCD from Sony, the SDM-S204/B is a sleek and stylish monitor that delivers a high-quality image. A maximum UXGA resolution of 1,600 x 1,200, 0.255 mm dot pitch, and fast 25 ms response time combine with a 500:1 contrast ratio and 250 nits of brightness to provide detailed, true-to-life graphics that are suitable for a wide variety of home and professional applications.
With a small 17.3-by-9.2-inch footprint, the SDM-S204/B fits easily onto any convenient surface. It is also wall mountable, freeing up desktop space completely. 170-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles provide a complete range of visual clarity, letting you position the monitor almost anywhere in the room and making it ideal for presentations. The -5 to 20-degree tilt and 175-degree swivel allow you to adjust the positioning of the monitor to best suit your environment, and the slim 17 mm bezel width also makes the SDM-S204/B a great choice for multiple-monitor setups on a single desktop.
With the one-touch ErgoBright brightness and contrast controls, you can easily and automatically adjust monitor settings for ideal performance. For fine manual adjustments, you can access OSD menus in your choice of 10 languages. One digital DVI-D and two analog HD15 ports provide a range of connectivity options, whether you are using a single advanced graphics card or are sharing the monitor among multiple PCs.
The internal power supply consumes less than 58 watts during normal operation and less than 2.7 watts during standby. PC and Mac compatible, the DM-S204/B also comes backed with a three-year limited warranty.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Nothing but great!
I have had this monitor for almost a year (I did not buy it here). I paid too much for it, but it has proven to be a great monitor - especially using the DVI connector. The VGA modes using the 25pin VGA cable aren't as clear, but I have no real complaints. No dead pixels or problems with the unit so far...
Just LOVE IT! Thinking about buying a second one to extend my desktop. Just wish I could find a wall mount bracket for it.
Rating:  - Disapointed
I bought this monitor in April 2004. It broke December 19. It started going to sleep in November and then on December it went permanetly black. The paper work needed by Sony inorder to send a replacement (refurbished) monitor was faxed and recieved by Soney that day. After many calls to Sony and promises of prompt replacement still nothing almost a mounth later. With warrenty service like this you should count on keeping a back up monitor if you buy a Sony. At the time we were in the market ... Read More
Rating:  - nice monitor
I have used this monitor for around a month now and generally like this monitor. I have previously used a Dell 18" UltraSharp LCD monitor, a ViewSonic 19" LCD monitor, and I would rank this one second to the Dell monitor. Reasons:
Pros:
1. Bright and contrasty. ViewSonic model scores worst although its spec says differently.
2. Very big screen, enough for professional work (coding, for example). However... see Cons part for detail
3. Lots of connectors ... Read More
Rating: - Beautiful screen
This monitor is expensive, but the resolution, crispness and lack of ghosting make it worthwhile if you can afford it. One cool feature that isn't really mentioned is that it has 2 analog vga inputs and one dvi input, which are all selectable.
This is a very nice, high end monitor. I would recommend it if you have the funds.
Rating:  - Beware of dead pixels.
I have to admit that this is a very fine and beautiful monitor. The display is very crisp and vibrant and the 1600x1200 resolution on a 20" monitor is definitely worth the hefty price tag.
BUT...
BUYER BEWARE...
I purchased one of these monitors and after two months dead pixels began appearing right in the center of the monitor. Of course, two months is usually longer than the period you have to return the product to your retailer for an exchange (hopefully no questions ... Read More
