Notes

Variants of the G520 appear to have been produced that use BNC connectors instead of DE-15 for the 2nd input..

Many of Sony's PC monitors from this generation include an hour counter. To access it, turn on the monitor with no input signal, then press and hold the "OK" button for a few seconds.

Brightness & Color Issues

PC Monitors made by Sony often have drifted out of calibration. This can result in poor color balance, excessive brightness, or other issues. These monitors often have an extremely bright picture, sometimes with a green tint. This cannot always be corrected with the OSD controls, and the monitor's firmware settings must be adjusted using WinDAS, Sony's proprietary calibration software.
