I've never been happy with the convergence of Sony monitors.  It seems
that expensive monitors go for contrast rather than convergence.  I
have two iiyama 21" monitors here, a "Vision Master 21" with a round
dot, and a "Vision Master Pro 21" with a strip mask.  The Pro was, of
course, more expensive, but the resolution is worse, and so is the
convergence.
