Precaution 9
Precaution
On Safety
• Operate the unit only with a power source as specified
in the “Specifications” section.
• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc., is located on the rear panel.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power cord.
If the power cord is damaged, turn off the power
immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit with a
damaged power cord.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be
used for several days or more.
• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by
grasping the plug, not by pulling the cord.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
On Installation
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
build-up.
Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.)
or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block
the ventilation holes.
• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration
or shock.
Handling the Screen
• The panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high
precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio
of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of
pixels may be “stuck”, either always off (black),
always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In
addition, over a long period of use, because of the
physical characteristics of the panel, such “stuck”
pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are
not a malfunction.
• Do not leave the screen facing the sun as it can damage
the screen. Take care when you place the unit by a
window.
• Do not push or scratch the monitor’s screen. Do not
place a heavy object on the monitor’s screen. This may
cause the screen to lose uniformity.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
On Burn-in
Due to the characteristics of the material used in the
OLED panel for its high-precision images, permanent
burn-in may occur if still images are displayed in the
same position on the screen continuously, or repeatedly
over extended periods.
Images that may cause burn-in
• Masked images with aspect ratios other than 16:9
• Color bars or images that remain static for a long time
• Character or message displays that indicate settings or
the operating state
To reduce the risk of burn-in
• Turn off the character displays
Press the MENU button to turn off the character
displays. To turn off the character displays of the
connected equipment, operate the connected
equipment accordingly. For details, refer to the
operation manual of the connected equipment.
• Turn off the power when not in use
Turn off the power if the monitor is not to be used for
a prolonged period of time.
Screen saver
This product has a built-in screen saver function to
reduce burn-in. When an almost still image is displayed
for more than 10 minutes, the screen saver starts
automatically and the brightness of the screen decreases.
On a Long Period of Use
Due to an OLED’s panel structure and characteristics of
materials in its design, displaying static images for
extended periods, or using the unit repeatedly in a high
temperature/high humidity environments may cause
image smearing, burn-in, areas of which brightness is
permanently changed, lines, or a decrease in overall
brightness.
In particular, continued display of an image smaller than
the monitor screen, such as in a different aspect ratio,
may shorten the life of the unit.
Avoid displaying a still image for an extended period, or
using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/high
humidity environment such an airtight room, or around
the outlet of an air conditioner.
To prevent any of the above issues, we recommend
reducing brightness slightly, and to turn off the power
whenever the unit is not in use.

Precaution
10
On Cleaning
Before cleaning
Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet.
On cleaning the monitor
A material that withstands disinfection is used for the
front protection plate of the medical use monitor. The
protection plate surface is especially treated to reduce
reflection of light. When solvents such as benzene or
thinner, or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or
chemical cleaning cloth are used for the protection plate
surface/monitor surface, the performance of the monitor
may be impaired or the finish of the surface may be
damaged. Take care with respect to the following:
• Clean the protection plate surface/monitor surface
with a 50 to 70 v/v% concentration of isopropyl
alcohol or a 76.9 to 81.4 v/v% concentration of
ethanol using a swab method. Wipe the protection
plate surface gently (wipe using less than 1 N force).
• Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such
as a cleaning cloth lightly dampened with mild
detergent solution using a swab method and then clean
using the above chemical solution.
Never use solvents such as benzene or thinner, or acid,
alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning
cloth for cleaning or disinfection, as they will damage
the protection plate surface/monitor surface.
• Do not use unnecessary force to rub the protection
plate surface/monitor surface with a stained cloth.
The protection plate surface/monitor surface may be
scratched.
• Do not keep the protection plate surface/monitor
surface in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin product
for a long period of time. The finish of the surface
may deteriorate or the coating may come off.
Disposal of the Unit
Do not dispose of the unit with general waste.
Do not include the monitor with household waste.
When you dispose of the monitor, you must obey the law
in the relative area or country.
Recommendation to Use more than
One Unit
As problems can occasionally occur for the monitor,
when the monitor is used for safety control of personnel,
assets or stable picture, or for emergencies, we strongly
recommend you use more than one unit or prepare a
spare unit.
On Repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials.
They make an ideal container which to transport the
unit.
If you have any questions about this unit, contact your
authorized Sony dealer.
On Fan Error
The fan for cooling the unit is built in. When the fan
stops and the RETURN button on the front panel blinks
for fan error indication, turn off the power and contact an
authorized Sony dealer.
On Moisture Condensation
If the unit is brought directly from a cold place to a warm
place, or the unit is warm and the ambient temperature
cools suddenly (by air-conditioning, for example),
moisture may condense on the surface or inside of the
unit, or create a mist residue inside the protection plate.
This is called moisture condensation, and is not a
malfunction of the product itself, although it may cause
damage to the unit.
Leave the unit in a condensation free area.
If moisture condensation has occurred, turn off the unit
and do not use it until moisture condensation has
evaporated.

Features 11
Features
The PVM-2551MD (25-type) Professional Video
Monitor is a high performance color video monitor. This
is suitable for use in fields where precise image
reproduction is required.
It features OLED panel and “TRIMASTER*1,” which is
a new technology developed for three elements,
“accurate color reproduction,” “precision imaging” and
“quality picture consistency,” that are in demand for
professional use. “TRIMASTER” decreases the viewing
difference that occurs due to the individuality of each
panel. Also, it realizes high picture quality and high-
trust by the color management system with its wide
color gamut device, high-resolution/precise gradation
display, highly accurate signal processing and panel
correction function.
*1 TRIMASTER is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
Advantages of OLED panel technology
The OLED panel makes use of an organic material,
which emits light when an electric current is applied.
Being self-emitting, the strength of luminescence can be
controlled by the amount of electric current. This brings
about the following three features:
Quick motion picture response:
The luminescent state of the OLED panel can be
changed instantaneously by changing the current flow in
the organic material. This enables a quick motion
picture response and production of images with minimal
blurring and ghosting.
High contrast and wide dynamic range:
The OLED panel does not emit light when black signal
is applied to the monitor, enabling a pure black screen to
be displayed. Furthermore, thanks to a wide dynamic
range the panel impressively displays brilliance and
clarity of various sparkling images, such as stars in a
night sky twinkling, night illuminations winking or glass
glittering, etc.
Rich color reproduction:
An OLED panel’s self-luminescence also allows for
great color reproduction across the entire spectrum in
practically any shade or brightness.
Sony’s Super Top Emission*2 OLED panel
The 25-type full HD (1920 × 1080) OLED panel
features Sony’s Super Top Emission structure. Unlike
the conventional bottom emission structure of TFT,
Sony’s OLED panel can reproduce a crisper image due
to high brightness. Furthermore, a unique microcavity
structure makes RGB primary colors purer and deeper
by utilizing light resonance effects that magnify
optimum light wave lengths and diminish undesired
light wave lengths.
The panel’s 10-bit driver enables smooth gradation of
color shading.
*2 “Super Top Emission” is a trademark that represents the
OLED technology of Sony Corporation.
