Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

You don't want your graphics to look great--you want them perfect. You want the Sony SDM-HX93, a 19-inch flat panel monitor that provides versatile technology in a quietly funky frame. All necessary cables are included, so you'll be set up with both digital and analog connections right away. And thanks to Sony's optimization technology, the screen automatically adjusts to varying lighting conditions. The result is color that maintains richness and depth even in the full light of day. Stereo speakers are built in, complete with headphone jack--play online games for hours without a single complaint from neighbors or roommates.

The SDM-HX93 also does an excellent job at more serious tasks. With a native resolution of 1,280 x 1,024, 0.294 mm dot pitch, 800:1 contrast ratio, and 450 nits of brightness, the screen provides cleanly legible text viewing along with smoothly transferred video. Wide viewing angles accommodate multiple viewers with ease, while Automatic ImageSet keeps the display set precisely the way you like it.

A softly curved base and shimmering frame create a subtle backdrop, outlining the display without detracting from the work at hand. Sony backs the display with a three-year warranty covering parts, labor, and backlight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best 19" LCD out there, January 26, 2004

This review is from: Sony SDM-HX93/B 19" LCD Monitor (Black) (Electronics)

I have two of these now, plus one of the 23" Sony P232-W monitors. I've had the P232 for over a year, running at 1920x1200, with not a single bad pixel or any other problems. I picked up one of the 19" HX93 screens, plugged it in, and was so impressed that I went and bought another one for work.

I spent several hours peering at LCDs from various brands in the computer store, and ultimately decided that the Sonys are worth the slightly higher price tag. They seem to have the best contrast and support for refresh rates, and they certainly look the nicest. My rock-solid experience with the 23" Sony LCD for the past year helped me make up my mind.

If you get one, make sure you change your video card's screen refresh rate to 75Hz. By default, the three Windows XP computers I've used have chosen a 60Hz default refresh rate, and it caused some pixel-fuzzing on the 19" screens. Changing it to 75Hz made the picture crystal clear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous LCD panel!, December 29, 2003

By 

"melissa7465" (Phillipsburg, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sony SDM-HX93/B 19" LCD Monitor (Black) (Electronics)

Purchased this monitor only 2 days ago, however it's performance is simply stunning. With a contrast ratio of 800:1 (only on the 19"), dark areas are dark, while bright areas are bright. Color is excellent (using included DVI cable).

While this LCD is a bit more the a lot of other 19" panels, it is in my opinion a well worthy step up.

Would recommend this screen to anyone (that has money to burn too).

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful monitor, February 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Sony SDM-HX93/B 19" LCD Monitor (Black) (Electronics)

This is a beautiful high resolution monitor that not only has a great image, but also an elegant frame and good sound. It accepts up to three inputs (two analog and one digital), plus 3 sound inputs. I was going to get a lower priced competitor, until I saw the two side by side. This model's colors were far superior. I would recommend that you spend the extra dollars and be happy for years.
