•A Daisy Chain of a RGB signal is very useful for a system design. As this function sometimes
makes a system cost more affordable, it is sometimes used for a Multi Display system.
However, please note that there is a limit of the performance and it does NOT support all the
configurations of the multi display function. Please utilize a external signal distributor or
processor if you configure a large multi screen system in reference to the above chart.
–A: Normal Picture Quality
–B: Picture Quality that should be judged by Customer
–C: Not recommended
•Notes:
–This result is not guaranteed because the result can vary as an input signal to the
displays varies depending on quality of the signal source equipment, cable, recording
media and content and length of a cable. For example, long cables make a signal
quality worse.
–This chart is not applied for the other displays such as GXD-L52H1, FWD-LX2 series,
etc

Recommendations on installation
Provide an ample amount of space around the
display
• To prevent internal heat buildup from sealing off the
Display, make sure to ensure proper ventilation
by leaving open the minimum amount of space
around the display, as illustrated below.
• The ambient temperature must be 0 degrees C to 35
degrees C (32 degrees F to 95 degrees F). Be
careful when installing the display near a ceiling.
The temperature there can become much higher
than the normal, lower-level room temperature.
• When using the stand, make sure you use the
applicable Tabletop Stand SU-S01 (not
supplied). For the fitting method, see the
instruction manual of the Tabletop Stand.
• Regarding the installation of hardware such as
brackets, screws, or bolts, we cannot specify the
products. Actual installation is up to the
authorized local dealers. Consult with qualified
Sony personnel for installation.
• While the display is on, a certain amount of heat
builds up inside. This can cause burns. Avoid
touching the top or rear of the display when it is
powered on or just after it has entered standby
mode.
