The 17 inch monitor will crap out if the room temperature goes about 77 degrees. The 15 inch monitor is now so dark you have to turn all the lights in the room off to read it. I'll never buy another Sony monitor again nor will I ever spec them for any company I work for ever again. Thank goodness that other companies manufacture the Trinitron tube now.
