New Sony SDM-S74 & SDM-S94

  • New Sony models.
    "S" series now gain also the DVI input.
    This can mean in future no more people will ask:
    "The DVI connection worth the price?"
    ;)

  • Interesting! But I'm wondering what the future difference between the "X" and the "S" series will be ?(

  • This is the official page:


    They can put a better panel... additional features like pivot, video inputs, ...
    We have to see the X74 and X94 to discover. :)

  • Looking at the pictures on the right there is also a SDM-S204.



    The features and recent Sony-Samsung agreement (for LCD-TV) let to think the S94 and S204 have PVA panels.

  • Maybe, we'll see. Perhaps the Onyx-Black LCD-Technologie is then used by Samsung, too.


    At the Moment Sony uses MVA or IPS Panels for the X93; in the description both panel types are listed ( yes, finally even Sony informs about the panel type in the product information :D ) . So it is not clear which one is used at the moment; I asked therefore and hope they answer soon... if it's an IPS panel the X93 would be the 4th TFT with 19" and IPS. I'm really curious about that; the tests of the X93 here are very different and this could be an explanation ;).

  • Onyx-Black is only a different optical filter that swap vivid colors with antiglare properties.
    Not a good deal.
    I've seen a S73P, colors are super but the panel surface is like a mirror... :(


    I hope in the next months they will introduce a X94 model with only "one" panel. :]


    ...bu my favorite brand remain Nec and this:

  • I don't like the image of hs73p either: The colors are brilliant but the glare...you say it. so I prefer the "dim" picture of normal TFT's ;)


    However there are of course people who like the image. Perhaps they develop an Onyx panel without that "mirror-effect". Then it would be a real improvement!
