Multiscan® Computer Display
GDM-400PS
The Sony GDM-400PS provides the demanding graphics professional, desktop publisher and CAD
professional a new level of image clarity and consistency. By incorporating Sony’s legendary
Trinitron technology, now with a new flatter CRT and Sony’s Enhanced Elliptical Correction System™
technology, image performance is the hallmark of this display. Dual inputs and higher scan rates
make the GDM-400PS one of the most flexible 19" displays in its class. Advanced, on-screen
digital controls provide precise fine tune adjustment capability. Active Signal Correction circuitry
allows easy and automatic sizing and centering of the screen image. Sony’s new compact cabinet
design and short-neck CRT technology allows for a small footprint not normally found on larger CRT
displays. The GDM-400PS is designed for Windows NT® and Windows® 95, meets TCO 92,MPR II,
International Energy Star standards, and has a zero-watt power off switch for greater energy savings.
