Sony's New Flat-Panel Displays Meet Growing Needs of Corporate, Government and Education Customers

Sony Electronics is enhancing its display offerings to make digital connectivity and multiple computer support more accessible for the commercial market.

New 17-inch (SDM-S74) and 19-inch (SDM-S94) liquid crystal display models will include two inputs -- one digital and one analog -- so users can connect multiple computers to one display, improving productivity while saving valuable desktop space. And the digital input in particular will deliver crystal clear images and enhanced color reproduction.

Additionally, a new cabinet color scheme will include both black and silver bezels, making it easy to match-up the displays with any workstation environment.

To maximize brightness, the display comes with Sony's ErgoBright™ technology that can be easily adjusted with no loss of contrast or color fidelity, especially important for color critical applications. This one-touch luminance adjustment makes it easy to set personal settings and saves energy when brightness isn't necessary.

Sony's new S74 and S94 LCDs also offer an exclusive ErgoStand™ design, which makes it easy to adjust the displays in ergonomically friendly ways for comfortable and safe viewing angles.

The displays' efficient cable management system and internal power supply will clear up desktop space with their small footprint design. Both models are also PC and Macintosh® computer compatible.

Each display features a thin bezel design, less than 3/4 of an inch on each side, which allows for side-by-side mounting or stacking of multiple displays to maximize productivity.

Available in April with a black bezel, the S74 and S94 displays will be priced at about $520 and $750, respectively. The silver bezel model will become available in May.
