Sony SDM-HS73P X-Black monitor review

The Sony SDM-HS73P 17 inch monitor seems to be an example of
good technology crapped up by some bad design decisions. The good technology is the XBright screen tech (called
XBlack by Sony) which provides much richer and more vibrant colors than traditional LCDs, at the cost of the
screen being a bit more reflective. But the crapping-up of this product comes in several places. One is the large
black bezel surrounding the screen. According to the review (and we haven't used one personally so we can't say
for sure) it acts as a giant black mirror that draws attention away from the screen itself. The physical
adjustment options of the monitor also seem to be lacking, with only forward and back tilting easily accomplished.
No rotating without shifting the whole thing. Also, there's no DVI input, something any self-respecting LCD
monitor should have these days. And at $609.99, it's hardly a steal.
