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.

• 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

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 high­precision 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.

• 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.

Precaution

5

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

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.

Automatic termination (connector with
mark only)

The input connector is terminated internally at 75 ohms
when nothing has been connected to the output
connector. If a cable is connected to the output
connector, the internal terminal is automatically
released and the signals input to the input connector are
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”.

Input

Accepts analog RGB input signals

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

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

About the preset signal

This unit has a preset memory for signals connected to
the DVI and HD15 input terminals (the preset memory).
When a preset signal is input, the unit automatically
detects the signal type and recalls the data for the signal
from the preset memory to adjust it to an optimum
picture.
This unit is applicable to the following preset signals.
