• Check that the video frequency range is within that specified for the monitor. If you
replaced an old monitor with this monitor, reconnect the old monitor and adjust the
computer’s graphics board within the following ranges:
Horizontal frequency: 28–92 kHz (analog RGB), 28–75 kHz (digital RGB)
Vertical frequency: 48–85 Hz (analog RGB), 60 Hz (digital RGB)
Resolution: 1600 × 1200 or less
If using Windows, • If you replaced an old monitor with this monitor, reconnect the old monitor and do the
following. Select “SONY” from the “Manufacturers” list and select “SDM-S204E” from
the “Models” list in the Windows device selection screen. If “SDM-S204E” does not
appear in the “Models” list, try “Plug & Play.”

Connect the adapter to the computer before connecting the video signal cable.
Picture flickers, bounces,
oscillates, or is scrambled.
• Adjust the pitch and phase (analog RGB signal only) (page 13).
• Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.
• Change the orientation of the monitor.
xProblem caused by a connected computer or other equipment, and not
caused by the monitor
• Check your graphics board manual for the proper monitor setting.
• Confirm that the graphics mode (VESA, Macintosh 19'' Color, etc.) and the frequency of
the input signal are supported by this monitor. Even if the frequency is within the proper
range, some graphics boards may have a sync pulse that is too narrow for the monitor to
sync with correctly.
• This monitor does not process interlace signals. Set for progressive signals.
• Adjust the computer’s refresh rate (vertical frequency) to obtain the best possible picture
(60 Hz is recommended).
