It has a flat screen with a large viewable area of 16 inches. The nice ergonomics extend to the smooth swivel stand as well, which enables the monitor to be turned easily. The Sony 200ES, with a 0.25mm dot pitch, has one of the clearest display that is both flicker-free and sharp.
Colours are brilliant and the contrast is right, even with the default settings.
The test results for the Sony 200ES were acceptable. It had brightness uniformity and a good focus in displaying the fine lines in the multiburst test. There was no flicker when displaying the horizontal and vertical bars. At the front of the monitor was a nice panel of buttons which is used to control picture brightness, centering, size, rotation and colour temperature. The manual is brief, but sufficient in describing setup and display settings' control.
