This is not the first time we've tested this monitor, but its video performance is still tops. The SDM-P234 is still the Rolls-Royce of professional video monitors, and we couldn't resist presenting it again.

Design

This monitor's looks are breathtaking. The round base is covered with aluminum, and so is the panel's rear. There's a sliding aluminum door that hides the connectors. And we've rarely seen plastics of this quality. Sony has accustomed us to handsome monitors, but here they've outdone themselves.
