The Beauty of a Flat Panel

This slender and attractive monitor presents a striking appearance all around, but especially where it counts most--on the screen. Sony uses the latest TFT LCD technology to produce an active matrix screen with an impressively wide viewing angle as well as minimized glare making it much easier to view even from a distance and off to the side. Sony's XBRITE technology creates a new standard in picture quality with brilliant images, sharp text and eye-dazzling colors. The flicker-free images provided by this stunning display are not only crisp and full of vibrant colors that make them more exciting to look at, but the smooth and steady performance gives your eyes a much needed rest from the strain caused by lesser monitors.

Dynamic Design

The innovative floating frame design of the SDMHS74P/B complements your home, and keeps your workspace looking organized and clutter-free. The images produced on this LCD panel come alive thanks to high brightness and contrast, and fast video response time. The flexible pivot adjustment and excellent viewing angle make it exceptionally easy on the eyes.

Connect and Go

The SDMHS74P/B is easy to connect both digital (DVI-D) and analog (HD-15) video inputs, and Sony's automatic image adjustment feature optimizes your display's performance instantly. The Advanced Auto ImageSet technology automatically sets image position, phase and pitch, so you don't have to fiddle around adjusting it yourself.

Included With Purchase

SONY SDM HS74PB 17' Flat panel LCD Display

Reviewed By: Robert Klein - Hastings-on-Hudson, NY

This gorgeous monitor has the sharpest and brightest color display of any that I have ever seen. Ordering was a breeze, delivery right on time as promised, and set up done easily in minutes. A terrific value at the price, I could not recommend a product more highly.

Outstanding Service

Reviewed By: David Escoe - Irvine, CA

I ordered the SDM-HS74PB on the Saturday before Labor Day. Because of the holiday they could not ship until Tuesday. I paid for 2 or 3 day ground delivery. The item was shipped on Tuesday Fed-Ex Air and I received it Wednesday morning at 830 am.

The monitor display is very clear.

I had to use the DVI-D cable with my analogdigital VisionTek Radeon 7K PCI video card in order for the monitor to go into the power save mode. With the analog cable you get a loss of signal message that jumps around like a screen saver.

The Perfect CRT Replacement

Reviewed By: Jeffrey Gewirtz - Lake Ariel, PA

I have owned several Sony CRT monitors. In my opinion Sony makes the very best. Sony has now focused on producing LCD monitors. The only CRT they are currently producing is the GDM-C520K and costs Over $1500. The Sony SDM-HS74P, the P stands for Premium, I purchased from Vann's replaced a 19' Sony CRT. I am an avid PC builder and gamer. I was worried about ghosting. Well my worries are over. The Sony SDM-HS74PB is Awesome. The 16ms response time handled Doom 3 flawlessly It produces colors so rich that you would think you were sitting in front of a CRT monitor. I could have found another 16ms lcd cheaper, However, I just loved the style of the HS74PB. It is plain gorgeous. it looks just as cool when it is powered off. You get what you pay for. I can see why Sony has elected to focus on producing LCD's. The Sony SDM-HS74PB is near perfect. I highly recommend. This was my first purchase from Vann's and won't be my last. Thanks Vann's.
