the right display shouldn’t be any different. You need to find the best, because your
monitor will probably last longer than your current computer, affecting your
enjoyment of work and your productivity for years. That’s why Sony has
created a range of displays that gives you the freedom to choose,
by work environment or budget, by inch-size or application.
It’s your decision
The Sony
advantage
Sony’s monitors set the
industry standards, for
technology, innovative
design features and

With over 150 m Trinitron models sold, Sony spearheads monitor technology, while
its latest development, FD (Flat Display) Trinitron, takes CRT monitors to new levels
of performance. The optically flat screen minimises reflections, reduces eyestrain
and optimises geometric shapes, so you get perfect visuals, up to the edges
and into the corners of the screen. Combine FD innovation with powerful
electron guns, razor-fine Aperture Grilles and advanced image enhancement
electronics and you’re looking at cutting edge displays. From 15" to 24",
from entry-level to professional, there’s a Sony CRT monitor that
meets your needs. So whether you’re an enterprise or home-
user, there’s a price that’s appropriate and whichever
FD Trinitron®model you choose, its classy looks
and stunning images will be a delight to
the eye.
Sony’s LCD monitors define innovation. This exciting TFT line-up has the
style and flair to complement the space-conscious modern office,
mixing form, functionality and flexibility. Ideal for public spaces and
small-scale work areas, Sony’s LCDs truly stand out –
discover totally new display possibilities!
Slim-line wonders

Design gets the green light
In a small office or home workspace, your monitor must be stylish. The 17" and 19" A Series are
just that, with a subtle green casing designed to complement any interior. But the beauty’s more
than skin-deep. The A Series features FD Trinitron technology, to minimise distortion and ambient
light reflections and a high-contrast screen for brilliant colour saturation. There are multimedia
options, thanks to plug-and-play USB connectivity and a DisplayMouse™ control for easy display
set-up or adjustment.

Sound economics and vision quality
The entry-level E Series is about value, giving you the benefits of FD Trinitron –minimal glare and
distortion, excellent image quality and colour reproduction –for less. There’s a choice of four different
screen sizes, from 15" to 21", so you can pick the one that best suits your requirements and all of these
monitors comply with the latest TCO’99 ergonomic and environmental regulations.

Durability and performance in the office
Higher productivity and lower maintenance is the combination for the corporate environment.
Thanks to FD Trinitron and excellent lens technologies, these 17", 19" and 21" models all feature
a visually flat screen and extra-sharp focus performance, minimising eyestrain. If you need a
viewing area that’s bigger and better, look to the G Series. Built to last and elegant, with TCO’99
compliance, these displays will complement any office for years to come.

The definitive image
When your professional reputation depends upon the images you see –and create –on screen, you
need the best. The 21" F500 adds to the excellence of its FD Trinitron CRT with Sony’s focus
technologies and an industry-finest Aperture Grille pitch of just 0.22 mm, for the sharpest images and
detail. But for the bigger picture, look to the FW900, Sony’s 24" FD Trinitron wide-screen monitor. Its
16:10 aspect ratio means that 2 full-size A4 pages can be viewed at the same time, along with your
toolbars and palettes –it’s a designer’s dream.

What does all the technical jargon mean? It is not
possible to describe every technical term in this brief
overview, but here are some of the most commonly
used terms, and what they mean in plain English.
Glossary
Aperture Grille Pitch
is the size of the monitor mask opening which allows light
through to make up the picture you see. Smaller openings
enable greater detail to be seen, so most Sony monitors
have an AG pitch of just 0.25 mm or less, producing sharp
pictures, rich in detail. Other manufacturers using different
mask technology use the term dot pitch, as their masks
have dot openings as opposed to Trinitron’s stripes.
Hi-Con™ and AR Screen Coatings
reduce reflections, glare and electro-magnetic emissions
to make Sony monitors safe and easy to look at.
All models have AR (anti-reflective and antistatic) coatings
and feature the new Hi-Con black layer, which reduces
light refraction off the surface of the tube and improves
contrast considerably.
Flat Screens
minimise picture distortion and unwanted reflections.
All FD Trinitron displays are vertically flat and have a
minimal horizontal curvature, thus achieving complete
visual flatness.
Dynamic focus
The length and shape of light beams vary depending on
whether they reach the mask at the centre or corner of the
screen. Three lens systems adjust this to provide
improved image quality: DQL (Dynamic Quadrupole Lens)
delivers a small spot size in the corners of the screen;
MALS (Multi-Astigmatism Lens System) provides a small
spot size and better spot shape in the corners; MALS and
EFEAL (Extended Field Elliptical Aperture Lens) ensure
precisely focused pictures over the entire screen.
Beam Landing Correction
provides a uniform and sharp picture, using sensors and a
landing correction coil to adjust the direction of the
electron beams.
SAGIC/L-SAGIC™
(Small Aperture G1 with Impregnated Cathode) is the
remarkably fine electron gun with increased beam density
for improved focus at the heart of FD Trinitron. L-SAGIC is a
new low power consumption version of SAGIC technology.
ASC
automatically sizes and centres the screen image. If the
video signal input is not of a standard VESA timing, the
user can press the ASC button and the monitor will
automatically size and centre the image. Set-up time is
thus reduced to seconds, regardless of the signal
timing utilised.
Digital Smoothing
every LCD runs best at one specific resolution. Using
other resolutions can result in rough edges or characters
(“step” effect) on screen. To avoid this, Sony LCD models
come with the Digital Smoothing function, which gives you
natural and smooth characters, no matter which resolution
you are using.
sRGB
a colour standard management system to ensure
standardised colour uniformity between the display and
other sRGB-equipped products, such as PCs, digital
cameras, printers and Internet Websites.
Virtual Sound System
‘Stereo Dipole’ circuitry gives unparalleled sound quality –
using two closely positioned speakers, the listener is not
conscious of their actual position, but senses a virtual
sound source from a much wider angle.
Environmental Specifications
safety, ergonomic and environmental considerations are
covered by a number of international specifications.
Sony monitors variously comply with MPRII,
TÜV Rheinland Ergonomie, ISO-9241-3, -8, TCO’92,
TCO’95 or TCO’99.
Display Mouse
This unique Sony feature allows you to control your
monitor settings easily and quickly with a single click.
Refresh Rates
are the speed at which the screen is 'refreshed' with a
new image, many times a second. Low refresh rates
result in picture 'flicker' which can be tiring on the eyes or
cause headaches. Refresh rates of at least 75 Hz
(75 times per second) are advisable to give a flicker-
free picture.
Resolution
is the number of pixels (a dot on the screen) which make
up the picture. This is expressed as horizontal dots x
vertical dots (e.g. 640 x 480). The higher the resolution,
the more of a screen image is visible, which reduces
scrolling, as well as reducing the size of application
elements such as menu bars or palettes

technical jargon, take a look at the CSF “Monitors Matter”
Guide, which is available on the internet at www.csf.org.uk
