filmscanners: Monitor Purchase/ Sony F520

["Paul Graham" <peegee@btinternet.com>]

I have the F520 too. Running it for 6 months, no problems, and it seems
pretty good, but then I have nothing to compare it to.
Incidentally its far cheaper in the UK than the US. (by many hundreds of
dollars)
No idea why, a rare reversal of the usual order.

does everyone expand their monitor to the screen edges once a basic
resolution has been set? or leave it alone?

Sony is the best and in some aspects are better than Barco. Unfortunately
the GDM-F500R is a disaster and Sony replaced it with the GDM-F520 quickly,
nothing beats this one for now (Barco is better in several aspects).

Sony will have 0.15mm dot pitch CRT display soon FYI.
