Precautions
Warning on power connections
Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord,
be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.
For the customers in the U.S.A.
If you do not use the appropriate cord, this monitor will not
conform to mandatory FCC standards.
For the customers in the UK
If you use the monitor in the UK, please use the appropriate UK
power cord.
Installation
Do not install or leave the monitor:
In places subject to extreme temperatures, for example near a
radiator, heating vent, or in direct sunlight. Subjecting the
monitor to extreme temperatures, such as in an automobile
parked in direct sunlight or near a heating vent, could cause
deformations of the casing or malfunctions.
In places subject to mechanical vibration or shock.
Near any equipment that generates a strong magnetic field,
such as a TV or various other household appliances.
In places subject to inordinate amounts of dust, dirt, or sand, for
example near an open window or an outdoor exit. If setting up
temporarily in an outdoor environment, be sure to take
adequate precautions against airborne dust and dirt. Otherwise
irreparable malfunctions could occur.
Handling the LCD screen
Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can damage
the LCD screen. Take care when you place the monitor by a
window.
Do not push on or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a heavy
object on the LCD screen. This may cause the screen to lose
uniformity or cause LCD panel malfunctions.
If the monitor is used in a cold place, a residual image may
appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The screen
returns to normal as the temperature rises to a normal operating
level.
If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual image
may appear for a while. The residual image will eventually
disappear.
The LCD panel becomes warm during operation. This is not a
malfunction.
Maintenance
Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet before
cleaning your monitor.
Clean the LCD 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
LCD screen’s coating.
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 alcohol or
benzine.
Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or
abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type
of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.
Note that material deterioration or LCD screen coating
degradation may occur if the monitor is exposed to volatile
solvents such as insecticide, or if prolonged contact is
maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.
Transportation
Disconnect all cables from the monitor when transporting.
When you transport this display, grasp the support and base
sections of the display stand firmly with both hands. Also use
both hands when carrying the media engine. If you drop the
monitor, you may be injured or the monitor may be damaged.
When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the
original carton and packing materials.
Replacement of the fluorescent tube
A specially designed fluorescent tube is installed as the lighting
apparatus for this monitor. If the screen becomes dark, unstable,
or does not turn on, replace the fluorescent tube with a new one.
Consult your Sony dealer when replacing the fluorescent tube.
Disposal of the monitor
Do not dispose of this monitor with general
household waste.
The fluorescent tube used in this monitor contains
mercury. Disposal of this monitor must be carried out
in accordance to the regulations of your local
sanitation authority.
The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible
outlet.

To adjust the tilt and height
This display can be adjusted within the angles shown below.
To adjust the angles, grasp the lower sides of the LCD panel with
both hands as shown below. Tilt the LCD panel adequately
backward, then lift the LCD panel upward to the desired screen
height, then adjust the screen tilt as desired. When adjusting the
screen height and tilt, proceed slowly and carefully, being sure not
to hit the LCD panel against the desk or the base of the display
stand.
To use the display comfortably
This display is designed so that you can set it up at a comfortable
viewing angle. Adjust the viewing angle of your display
according to the height of the desk and chair, and so that light is
not reflected from the screen to your eyes.
To enjoy clear sound from the built-
in stereo speaker
This monitor has a built-in stereo speaker in base of the display
stand.
We recommend that you position the LCD panel slightly away
from the display stand. High tones from the speaker may be
muffled if the LCD panel is positioned immediately on top of the
stand. Be careful not to drop any metal object into the speaker's
vents as the speakers generate a magnetic field. Also, this
magnetic field may affect data stored on magnetic tapes and discs.
Be sure to keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and floppy
discs away from the speaker’s opening.
A duct is provided on the rear part of the display stand to boost the
bass. Be sure not to block the duct with paper or other objects to
ensure clear sound.

Technical Features
Power saving function (user sensor/power saving mode)
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,
E
NERGY
S
TAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a computer
or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically enter the power
saving mode. It automatically enters the low power consumption mode when the user sensor detects the absence of a user.
1 Low power consumption mode (user sensor)
When the user sensor in the monitor detects the absence of a user,
the monitor enters low power consumption mode after about 20
seconds. In low power consumption mode, the monitor is in a
power saving state and shuts off power to all circuitry (except for
that of the sensors) regardless of the setting of the computer.
The monitor returns to normal operation mode when the presence
of a user is detected by the user sensor.
When the monitor enters the power saving mode (as set according
to the computer’s settings), the power saving mode takes
precedence over the low power consumption mode. In this case,
the monitor stays in the power saving mode regardless of the
presence or absence of a user.
To return the monitor to normal operation mode, reset the
computer’s power saving mode.
Note
The user sensor detects the presence/absence of a user up to a distance of
approximately 60 cm from the screen surface. However, this distance may
vary depending on the user’s clothes or the brightness of the surrounding
area. If user detection fails due to the ambient conditions of the
surrounding area, set the user sensor to OFF. If your monitor does not
automatically return from low power consumption mode due to the failure
of the user sensor to detect the presence of a user, press the
1
(power)
switch twice to turn the monitor off and then on.
2 Power saving mode
DPMS defines three power saving states according to the state of
the sync signals supplied from the computer. This monitor’s
power consumption is input at approximately 3 W in all of these
states if the power saving function is set to ON.
When your computer enters in the power saving mode, the input
signal is cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen.
After a few seconds, the monitor enters power saving mode.
* “Sleep” and “deep sleep” are power saving modes defined by the
Environmental Protection Agency.
Note
The power saving function may not work normally if sync signals other
than those listed above are supplied. In such a case, set the power saving
function to OFF.

Automatic brightness adjustment function (light sensor)
This monitor is provided with a feature to automatically adjust the screen brightness according to the brightness of the surroundings. The
brightness of the backlight is set to the most appropriate level by setting the light sensor to ON. The default setting of the brightness of the
backlight is set to its maximum. When the light sensor setting is set to ON, the monitor adjusts the brightness of the backlight linearly from
its lower- to upper-limit values. When the user adjusts the backlight, the backlight brightness is automatically adjusted between the user
adjustment value and the upper- and lower-limit values.
Automatic picture quality adjustment function
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically
matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the
monitor’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the center
of the screen. (See Appendix for a list of the factory preset
modes.)
For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset
modes, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this
monitor automatically adjusts the picture position, phase, and
pitch, and ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen for
any timing within the monitor’s frequency range (horizontal: 30 –
61 kHz, vertical: 50 – 85 Hz).
Consequently, the first time the monitor receives input signals
that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the monitor
may take a longer time than normal for displaying the picture on
the screen. This adjustment data is automatically stored in
memory so that next time, the monitor will function in the same
way as when the monitor receives the signals that match one of
the factory preset modes.
In all modes as above, if the picture is adjusted, the adjustment
data is stored as a user mode and automatically recalled whenever
the same input signal is received.
Note on the adjusting the phase
If the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, the
picture moves slightly whenever the monitor receives the input signal,
regardless of the stored adjustment.
Note
While the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, only
the
1
(power) switch, and INPUT button will operate.
