So far we have been reviewing tv just as that - home entertainment unit. I think it’s about time we introduce you to one that gives you the best of both worlds - work and play.

This highly rated Sony MFM-HT205 20 inch LCD is designed to be a high quality flat screen tv and also a pc monitor.

Like most Sony flat screen tvs, this unit’s HDTV display is sharp. There’s very little noise and it’s colors are as bright and vivid as you’d expect a tv to be. The input boasts all the connection you’d ask for :

a) For Rear Input: Component x 1 • DVI x 1 • Audio (RCA) x 1 • RF x 1 • 1 x D-Sub (RGB PC) • 21-pin SCART x 1

b) For Front Input: S-Video x 1 • Composite x 1 • Audio (RCA) x 1

The only complain is we have about this unit is it lack a HDMI port ( a truly digital port for video and audio - something that is ideal for HDTV).
As a pc monitor, you’ll be impressed with the picture and text quality at it’s default 1,400×1,050 resolution. Moreover, you’ll also get 3 watt speakers and 5 watts subwoofer - not something you’d find on even the latest pc monitors.

If you’re looking for an lcd pc monitor and a tv, this is as good as it gets. The Sony MFM-HT205 comes with 3 years warranty.
