Multiscan®FD Trinitron®displays offer the very
latest in advanced CRT display technology from
Sony: the FD Trinitron CRT. These virtually flat
CRTs minimize geometric distortion and reduce
reflective glare that may cause eyestrain.
Designed with the demanding CAD and graphic
professionals in mind, the Multiscan F Series
sets a new level of image performance, ease of
use and reliability.
The stunning images produced by this display
are a result of Sony’s new HiDensity™Electron
Gun with Enhanced Elliptical Correction
System™technology. The tight 0.22mm aper-
ture grille pitch delivers sharp, detailed color
images consistently across the entire screen –
especially in the corners. Digital Multiscan®and
Active Signal Correction (ASC™) technologies
allow for easy set-up, regardless of the input
signal or resolution. And with broad horizontal
scan rates available, resolutions as high as
2048 x 1536 @ 75Hz are possible.
Our unique DisplayMouse™control is easy-to-
use and allows for precise manual adjustment
of the image to fit individual user preference.
Sony left nothing to the imagination with this
display, including GeoLock Plus™circuitry. This
feature will automatically sense and neutralize
electromagnetic fields that can cause image or
color distortion, which is commonly noticeable
on large screen displays.
