Notes

The Sony GDM-F520's tube is the finest AG CRT to exist at .22mm, along with the GDM-F500 / F500R, GDM-F400 and BVM-14E5U/14E5E.


Model features operation time counter measured in hours, accessible by press-and-hold of the central joystick button on the NO INPUT page.


Screen features antiglare in a form of metallic coating (similar to MacBook Retina screens). Once damaged, the only option is to buff it out with chemical solvents, it cannot be peeled off like the plastic film on the GDM-FW900 model.
