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.

What's in the Box

5.0 out of 5 stars The best flat screen monitor for the money..., December 2, 2003

My Sony SDM-HX93 is the best monitor I've ever owned. This is the third flat screen monitor my family has (I have an HP and another 17" Sony) and this is by far the most wonderful device! The colors and brightness are incredible, very clean text and great performance. Setup was very easy and intuitive. With MS XP no driver installation is required - just connect and go; it configures itself to the best resolution. I loved the back-slide panel that neatly hides the cables. If your display is important to you - purchase this monitor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent quality monitor, September 12, 2004

I've had this display for 9 months, and I am still very happy with the purchase. The constrast is fantastic, and the brightness is incredible. Screen can be seen from all angles. The unit is very sharp looking, and stands out on a desk.

Why not 5 stars?

Speakers are useless. If I'm going to spend so much money on a display, I'm going to buy some decent speakers.

2 analog inputs and 1 DVI input. Having 2 DVI inputs and 1 analog input would be much more valuable to me.

Automatic light sensor. Consistently keeps the screen too dark, so I never use it.

I looked at quite a bit of these monitors and bought this one because the text was sharp and the colors bright and vibrant. There is a trick, though. When I took it home and hooked up to my computer, it wasn't as sharp.

My old 20" Sony CRT used the analog cable. But I was lucking to already have a DVI input on my graphics card and switched to that cable. (The HX93 has both cable types) Alas it became clear like the store's which had been hooked up to a Sony PC with a DVI port.

I am using the native resolution and a 150% dpi setting and it looks just as good as like my old CRT. So don't hang on to that tub of a CRT because it isn't clear - go get this HX93 and shed 50 lbs.
