I am not sure if you still have the monitor, I had mine send to Sony
for warranty repair. It was packed by mailboxes etc. and with
shipping to San Diego was $90. You can't buy any monitor this quality
for that price.

I am a graphics professsional and use a CRT because of the wide color
gamut ( Means the range of color reproduction) is only available in
CRT's unless you are willing to spend $2200 or so for a pro graphics
LCD display. NEC has one out for 5 or 6k that has en even wider range


If you are handy, you can take the cover off and if its out warrenty,
then it won't matter if you screw it up. There will be 2 small holes
in the high voltage metal cage. Those are the focus adjustments.
Don't worry, use a plastic screwdriver and turn them very little. One
adjusts the focus in the center and the other around the edges. A
friend gave me Mitsubishi Diamond Pro I tweaked that way. His loss,
my gain. On that one you dont even have to remove the back cover.

Both monitors are sharp enough to use at 1600 x1200 all day long.

this is a refurbished replacment. It is now out of
warranty. Will Sony fix it even though it's a model they no
longer make and a model that is now out of warranty after
having been replaced once?

I may golooking for those screws.
