Advantages: Looks good

Disadvantages: Poor support

A story about Sony support and my lessons learned. Maybe it will provide hope for those in a similar position.

Ok, so let me explain, in May I decided it was time to ditch all of my CRT monitors, there were six in varying sizes that ended up taking up just far too much space. So after giving most of them away I came to the conclusion I wanted dual Sony SDM-P82s, I know I could have gotten one 23? apple but, I need to hook up a lot of machines, so dual 18" is better, but there were none in stock anywhere, expect for Selfridges and that was ex-demo. Now, I?m very impatient so I decided on two Sony SDM-X82s - the cool thing about these monitors is that they have three inputs each so I can hook up six machines, or five and one dual monitor setup. This is a space saving on its own, not even mentioning the fact that the X82s are quite slim anyway. Well off to Tottenham Court Road. First problem: everywhere is sold out, except for one shop. Fine, I buy that and have to wait for a few days for the second one. A few days later back I go, this time to Shasonic and picked up the other (for a slightly inflated price)
