Our take
For retro gaming enthusiasts on a budget, this Sony SDM-HS95P is a tempting buy. The 5:4 aspect ratio and 1280x1024 resolution are perfect for older PC games and consoles. The 12 ms response time is a bit sluggish for competitive shooters, but for most retro titles it's acceptable. The 550:1 contrast ratio offers decent visuals for its time. The DVI-D input is a plus, but you'll need adapters for other connections. The silver chassis has a nice vintage aesthetic. At $34.99, it's an affordable way to relive early 2000s gaming. Just keep in mind that modern monitors offer far better performance.
