Summary
Among the best 19" monitors ever made, the CPD-G410 is capable of a 110 kHz max horizontal scan rate and features a fine pitch 0.24 mm flat Trinitron tube. It is capable of very high resolutions and refresh rates, and is an excellent monitor for modern PC games.

Notes
Many of Sony's PC monitors from this generation include an hour counter. To access it, turn on the monitor with no input signal and hold control button to the left for a short time.
A small panel below the VGA cable can be removed to provide access to the serial pins for WinDAS calibration.
This monitor includes digital convergence controls, accessible through the OSD menu.
Brightness issue
There is a common problem where these monitors are too bright and the OSD controls don't allow you to correct it. In that case you need to use WinDAS to lower the G2 value in the monitor's firmware settings.
This tube has a fragile anti-glare coating which will be damaged by all common cleaning products including Ammonia-Free products. You should only clean it with distilled water or distilled water mixed with a few drops of dish soap. Use only a soft clean microfiber towel to wipe the screen. I reccomend buying a spray bottle to mist the screen with the water or dish soap solution.
If the screen has missing/discolored parts of the finish, or spots that look like scratches that don't come off, or parts where the mirror finish is missing, the coating has already been permanently damaged and should be removed. You can find instructions for removing and replacing the film here.
Many brands used these coatings including Mitsubishi, Sony, JVC, IBM, and more. Usually if the underlying tube technology is aperture grille-based and the monitor is a higher performance PC monitor, it can be assumed the tube has this fragile coating. The user manual of the monitor will also mention not to use any cleaning products on the screen.
