Computer build – pt 5 – the monitor

OK, it’s not really part of ‘the build’, but it will be part of the system. I picked up a new 19″ LCD monitor today. I’ve been looking at getting one for a couple years (remember my VIAO laptop has a 12″ screen), but I’ve gotten more serious lately with the build happening now. After much debate (what’s new) I decided on the Sony HS95P.

I really wanted something a little higher-res and/or widescreen, but $140 in rebates swayed me to this one at well under the $400 mark. Its feature set is pretty average (1280×1024, 4:3 ratio, 12ms response, DVI and VGA in, decent contrast and brightness), but the picture is AWESOME. Super crisp, and super deep. I’m a big fan of Sony’s XBRITE treatment and this monitor is no exception.
