Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The sleek styling of Sony's SDM-N50PS brings your office into the digital age. The black casing is fitted with picture hook slots in the back, which allows this monitor to be hung snug against the wall; using the detachable photo stand provides a more traditional desktop mount. Either way, the changeable portrait/landscape orientation helps you create a variety of possible layouts, and the compact design requires a minimum of space.

Advanced Sony technology guarantees excellent quality; the Advanced Digital FlexRes maintains clear graphics and color separation while the Advanced Auto ImageSet adjusts pitch, phase, and picture position automatically. When your field demands crisp graphics in minimal space, this monitor fits the bill--the display screen weighs in at a mere 3 pounds, with a thickness of less than 1 inch.

There is a three-year limited warranty for parts and labor, and a one-year limited warranty on the backlight. --Jill Lightner

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Wonderful LCD, December 2, 2000

This review is from: Sony SDM-N50PS 15" LCD Monitor (Electronics)

I've been using the N50PS for two months now and I love it. Everything from the size to the usability of it is wonderful. Sony's design stands out especially in that they have cleverly packed all the processing into a small box that can be stored away. All your VGA, Power, sound, etc., run into this box and through a single proprietary cable run to the monitor itself.

The monitor, coupled with the single cable, make an incredibly small impact for those space conscious users. The monitor is as thin as .5 inches at the edges and can be easily hung, to use even less space. Sony also added the ability for a dual VGA input, so the monitor can be used as the primary VGA device for two computers, simply switched though a button on the panel.

Overall, I love the monitor, and while the price is a bit steep, the functionality and largely the size of the monitor make it worth it.

I've owned this monitor for over 10 years. I bought the display model at the Sony Style store when it existed at the Metreon in San Francisco. It was part of my "travel" desktop. I literally carried a full desktop as carry on luggage, this monitor made it happen.

The design of this screen is incredible. It is totally gorgeous, and there is nothing else like it. The fact that it still works perfectly after years of use, and a decade later only speaks to the quality of this device.

I have owned countless computers, and monitors over the years, by FAR this is my favorite. (even more than my beloved 3007 WFP Dell)

besides the high price, my monitor would not turn on. after hours of trying to talk to a human being, i finaly reached someone, and was disconected. it took over a week to get through to them and know how to fix my monitor. i don't recomend anything that has "SONY" written on it
