The CPD-G400 incorporates Sony's new FD Trinitron technology, offering truly impressive picture quality. The FD Trinitron tube produces a noticeably flat viewing surface with no visible distortions in corners and less flicker than is found on regular CRT displays. Though several manufacturers employ the same tube, the $699 Sony Multiscan CPD-G400 costs a mere $50 more than competing displays, such as
