Precaution 5
Precaution
On Safety
• Operate the unit on 100-240 V AC only.
• The nameplate indicating operating voltage, etc. is
located on the AC adaptor.
• 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.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be
used for several days or more.
• To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by
grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
On Installation
• Prevent internal heat build-up allowing adequate air
circulation.
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 near heat sources such as
radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or
shock.
• Do not place the monitor near equipment which
generates magnetism, such as a transformer or high
voltage power lines.
About the LCD Display Panel
• Although the LCD display panel is made with high-
precision technology, black dots may appear or bright
points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear
constantly on the LCD screen. And a color shade or
bight shade may appear according to a viewing angle.
These are structural properties of the LCD panel and
are not malfunctions.
• The LCD screen is made with high-precision
technology and more than 99.99% of the picture
element is intact. However, some of the picture
element may not appear or some of the picture element
may appear constantly.
• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can
damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place the
unit by a window.
• Do not push or scratch the LCD monitor’s screen. Do
not place a heavy object on the LCD monitor’s screen.
This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.
• If the unit is used in a cold place, a residual image may
appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. When
the monitor becomes warm, the screen returns to
normal.
• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual
image may appear. The residual image will eventually
disappear.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
About the Fluorescent Tube
• A specially designed fluorescent tube is installed as
the lighting apparatus for this unit. If the LCD screen
becomes dark, unstable or does not turn on, consult
your Sony dealer.
Maintenance
• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent, such as benzine.
• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with
sharp or abrasive items such as a ball-point pen or
screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a
scratched picture panel.
• Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass
cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner
containing an anti static solution or similar additive as
this may scratch the screen’s coating.
Disposal of the Unit
• Do not dispose of the unit with general waste.
Do not include the monitor with household waste.
• The fluorescent tube includes mercury. Dispose of the
monitor in accordance with the regulations of your
local sanitation authority.
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.

Features
6
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 ERROR” message is displayed, turn off the
power and contact an authorized Sony dealer.
Features
Compliance with medical safety
standards in America, Canada and
Europe
UL60601-1 for America, CSA C22.2 No.601.1 for
Canada and EN 60601-1 for Europe have been obtained
for this monitor.
The monitor is designed for use in the medical treatment
field, with the sheet switch, screen protect panel, etc.
Cabinet design with no heat vents
LMD-1950MD has been designed so that there are no
air vents for expelling heat from the unit. This design
prevents blood, chemical solutions, and dirt, which
could cause a trouble, from entering the unit. No dirt
accumulating in the main unit can come out.
Picture
Sophisticated I/P (Interlace to Progressive)
Conversion
The LMD-1950MD provides sophisticated I/P
conversion with Sony’s original X-Algorithm
technology. This technology combines the pixels above,
below and in the diagonal direction of the moving
picture part, and then inserts a natural pixel.
The direct result is much smoother image reproduction
for both moving and static picture areas.
Fully digital 10-bit signal processing circuit
As well as digital signals, all signals including analog
signals are converted into digital signals. All signals are
processed using a fully digital 10-bit processing circuit
so that an image is produced in smooth gradation
without any deterioration of quality.
Two color system available
The monitor can display NTSC and PAL signals by
connecting this unit.
Auto chroma/phase function
The chroma and phase of the decoder are automatically
adjusted with the auto chroma phase function.

Features 7
High image-quality/high-resolution SXGA LCD
panel
An SXGA high-resolution (1280 × 1024 dots) panel and
high brightness/ultra-wide field of view technology
enable you to use the monitor under various lighting
conditions and in numerous ways (installing on wall,
using several monitors to view an image, and so on.).
Because a color filter with wide-color reproduction and
LCD materials with high response speed are used, the
motion picture of the video signal is displayed clearer.
This monitor also performs sampling of signals at high
frequencies and provides a high resolution of 700 TV
scanning lines or more during the RGB/COMPONENT
signal (480/60I, 575/50I) input.
Input
Accepts analog RGB input signals *1
Adopting the scan converter allows this monitor to
detect VGA, SVGA, XGA and SXGA analog RGB
signals input to the HD15 input connector.
Accepts DVI-D (digital) input signals *1
Adopting the scan converter allows this monitor to
detect VGA, SVGA, XGA and SXGA digital computer
signals input to the DVI input connector.
To view SXGA signals when the DVI input is selected,
use the cable within 3 m (118 1/8 inches) in length.
*1 For acceptable formats, refer to “About the preset signal”
on pages 29 and 30.
Optional slot for the video signal
Two optional input adaptors can be attached. The
composite, Y/C, component, analog RGB or SDI signal
can be input depending on the input connectors of the
board to be used.
Multi-format *2
NTSC or PAL color system or DTV format, such as
720P, 1080I, etc. can be selected automatically.
*2 For acceptable formats, refer to “Video signal formats” on
page 28.
External sync input
The unit can be operated on the sync signal supplied
from an external sync generator.
Functions

output to the output connector (loop-through).
Select color temperature and gamma mode
You can select the color temperature from among four
(HIGH, LOW, LOW2, LOW3) settings and gamma
mode from among five settings. You can also adjust the
color temperature to the appropriate setting in “USER”.

according to the input signal.
Scan function
You can select the display from among “NORMAL”,
“UNDER”, “OVER”, “FULL”, “ZOOM” and
“NATIVE” (1080I and 720P only)” except the HD 15
and DVI input signals.
Select language display
You can select your language for the display from seven
languages - English, German, French, Italian, Spanish,
Japanese and Chinese.
Power saving function
The monitor enters into power saving mode to reduce
the power consumption when no signal is input.
Key inhibit function
You can inhibit the key to prevent missing an operation.
User memory function
You can save the 20 picture settings with the name. The
user memory data can be saved or loaded between the
monitor and the equipment (PC, etc.) connected in
serial remote mode.
Two kinds of ground terminals
Two kinds of ground terminals are built into the monitor
to equal the electric potential.
