Sony SDM-S205K/B

Sony SDM-S205K/B ... maintain a professional edge. From the productivity benefits of an expanded workspace area to the vital, but often overlooked, height adjustment necessary for long-term working comfort, the S205-Series ticks all the right boxes.

The SDM-S205 Series is based on a 20.1-inch panel engineered to produce high brightness and contrast for the very best image quality. A fast response time ensures motion as well as still images are reproduced to the highest standard. These are crucial attributes in a display designed to shine in the unforgiving environment of applications like digital video editing, graphic design and CAD.

High-end displays need to offer the user as much workspace area as possible, which is why the S205-Series has a native resolution of 1600 x 1200 UXGA. This yields a 1.9 megapixel image, with two-and-a-half times the working area available from a standard XGA (1024 x 768) resolution display.

The S205 series features Sony Advanced ECO-Mode technology, which uses an integrated sensor to monitor ambient lighting and automatically adjust the screen settings to maintain the best picture quality. Like height adjustment, this ergonomic bonus can help make working with the S205 for long periods more comfortable and less tiring.

With the S205K, users even have control over the orientation of the screen. With everything from word processing and websites to Windows Explorer, the actual content is arranged vertically, mirroring a physical paper page. The most efficient way to view anything like that is in portrait rather than the conventional landscape mode offered by most monitors. The S205K has a specially engineered stand which allows the screen to rotate through 90 degrees, from landscape to portrait and back again. Each display is supplied with Pivot software which re-orientates the Windows Desktop to the desired mode with a single click of the mouse. Boosting productivity by matching the display to the task has never been simpler.

The SDM-S205K also features USB-based Keyboard Video and Mouse switching (KVM) technology. With KVM, a single USB keyboard and mouse connected to the display can control two PCs so long as they in turn are linked via USB to the monitor. At a stroke, desk clutter is halved, and convenience doubled.
