Taking flat panel image display technology to the next level, Sony’s PFM
series extends monitoring applications far beyond anything previously
imaginable. Lightweight and incredibly thin (less than 6-inches deep)
they display crisp direct-viewing images. With a built-in scan converter,
they handle various signal inputs with superb versatility, while Four-
Line Vertical Interpolation technology reproduces every nuance of the
original source.
Virtually identical, the PFM-500A2W offers 852 x 480 pixel resolution
while the PFM-510A1W has higher-resolution of 1024 x 1024 pixels.
Whether they're used as multi-source information monitors, presentation
monitors or wall-mounted video displays, they are exciting visual tools that will expand your application horizons.
Advanced Scan Converter
To capture and display the finest detail from a
wide range of sources, they are equipped with
an advanced scan converter, which includes vari-
able and offset phase sampling and Four-Line
Ver tical Interpolation technologies to smooth
out edges, so on-screen objects and shapes look
perfectly natural.
■ Four-line vertical interpolation reproduces
optimum images from various computer sig-
nals by utilizing the data of four lines from
the original signal to generate each interpolat-
ed line.
■ The scan converter can intelligently reproduce
a wide range of existing video signals includ-
ing composite, S-Video, (NTSC or PAL ),
component, RGB and HDTV signals.
Computer signals with horizontal frequencies
ranging from 15.6 to 80 kHz. (PFM-510A1)
and 15.6 to 100 kHz (PFM-500A2)) can also
be reproduced.
Input slot for future options
■ Because the new digital video age is rapidly
evolving, tomorrow's options continue to
grow. Sony Flat-Panel monitor will accommo-
date plug-and-play adapters for many future
applications. For example, a custom computer
card could be manufactured and placed in the
PFM to create a self-contained, stand-alone
computer system.

whole new world of viewing possibilities
Flat Panel Advantages
■ Wide viewing angle of 160 degrees in
all directions. The clear pixel-by-pixel
images appeal to large audiences in

■ Resistance to magnetic influence—flat
panel monitors can be installed in areas
where the effects of magnetic field are
prevalent, without experiencing interfer-
ence such as color uniformity drift.
These effects are caused by equipment

speakers, or high-tension electrical wires.
Unlike conventional CRTs, flat panels
are free from such disturbances.
