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? paul >>> 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. JM Shen > Monitor 1 was a Sony GDM-F500R for $1,800. This was supposedly one > of the best monitors on the market (once you rule out Barco).
