I tell ya, once you sit in front of the Sony Multiscan CPD-G500 monitor for a few hours, there is no going back to lesser monitors. The Multiscan G500 defines how a high end monitor should be made. Make no mistakes about it, the Sony G500 is one of the best if not the best monitor you can buy. And it has a price tag to match. This monitor is not cheap. You can get whole systems with monitor for the cost of the G500.
