Our take
This Sony SDM-HS95 offers a nice blend of retro charm and practical features. The 5:4 panel is great for older games, and the built-in speakers are a welcome bonus for a monitor of this vintage. The 250 cd/m² brightness is a bit dim by today's standards, but it's fine for indoor use. The 12 ms response time is adequate for casual gaming, though you'll see ghosting in fast scenes. The DVI-D input is a plus, but you'll need an adapter for HDMI sources. Overall, it's a solid choice for a retro gaming setup, especially if you value the built-in speakers and Japanese build quality.
