•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 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.

•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.

Precaution 5

On Repacking

•Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal container which to transport the unit.

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.

6 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.

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
