    CNET Review

    June 12, 2006

    The Good: Attractive design; integrated TV tuner; integrated speakers and subwoofer; impressive image quality; nice selection of video ports; well-designed remote control.

    The Bad: Limited adjustability; no HDMI port.

    The Bottom Line: The Sony MFM-HT205 is a double threat, serving as both a TV and a computer monitor. This 20-inch wide-screen LCD features an impressive array of video connections, and it wowed us with its image quality. It will suit the work and entertainment needs of all but the most discerning graphics professionals.
