Evaluation of the Sony GDM F500R 4 x 3 Aspect Ratio, 21-Inch Diagonal Color, Flat Face, 0.22mm CRT Monitor
Abstract
The Sony GDM F500R 21-inch, color, perfectly flat face, 0.22 mm aperture grill monitor (19.8' viewable area; the selling price is $ 1800) has good image quality and features that make it an excellent candidate display device for NIMA Imagery Exploitation Capability workstations. Based on our evaluation, NIDL certifies the Sony F500R color monitor as being suitable for IEC workstations. NIDL rates this color monitor as a "B-" in monoscopic mode and as "C" in stereographic mode. The monitor meets all critical IEC requirements in the monoscopic mode. The stereo extinction ratio of 13.3:1 measured with a NuVision panel and passive polarizing glasses is comparable to the best measured for a color monitor. However, the maximum refresh rate in stereo is 56 Hz per eye, not the 60 Hz per eye specified by the IEC specification, but is higher than the 46 Hz per eye for the 24 inch Sun. The refresh rate in stereo appears to be limited by the horizontal scan frequency of 121 kHz.
