The S81 incorporates rich color processing that optimizes both filters and backlights to create intense, high-contrast colors. With an optimum resolution of 1,280 x 1,024, a 400:1 contrast ratio, and an 85 Hz refresh rate, this LCD panel keeps your images looking their best, whether your focus is on detailed spreadsheets, the latest Web sites, or intense gaming. An anti-glare hardcoat maintains a clear view under all lighting conditions.
Sony's Zero Footprint design features a pivoting base that provides easily adjustable viewing options for multiple users, and can be detached for wall mounting. Weighing just over 18 pounds, it's less than half the size of older CRT monitors; and the two-tone gray casing smoothly blends with any decor. The included Kensington-compatible lock provides extra security for the system. Sony provides an impressive three-year limited warranty on parts, labor, and backlight.
