Precautions

Warning on power connections

•Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord, be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.

For the customers in the U.S.A.

If you do not use the appropriate cord, this monitor will not conform to mandatory FCC standards.

Example of plug types

for 100 to 120 V AC

for 200 to 240 V AC

•Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds after turning off the power to allow the static electricity on the screen’s surface to discharge.

•After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized (degaussed) for about 5 seconds. This generates a strong magnetic field around the screen which may affect data stored on magnetic tapes and disks placed near the monitor. Be sure to keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks away from the monitor.

The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible outlet.

Installation

Do not install the monitor in the following places:

•on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies, etc.) that may block the ventilation holes

•near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight

•in a place subject to severe temperature changes

•in a place subject to mechanical vibration or shock

•on an unstable surface

•near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a transformer or high voltage power lines

•near or on an electrically charged metal surface

Maintenance

•Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static solution or similar additive as this may scratch the screen’s coating.

•Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.

•Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzene.

Transportation

When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the original carton and packing materials.

CPD-G200 specifications

The Sony CPD-G200 is a notable model in the realm of CRT (cathode ray tube) monitors, recognized for its commitment to image quality and design reliability. Released in the late 1990s, this model quickly became popular among professional graphic designers, gamers, and everyday consumers who appreciated high-resolution displays. One of the standout features of the CPD-G200 is its impressive resolution capability, with support for various resolutions, including 1600 x 1200 at a refresh rate of 85Hz. This quality allows users to experience sharp, detailed images, making it suitable for graphic-intensive applications.

Its 20-inch (51 cm) display size strikes a balance between providing ample screen real estate while maintaining a compact desk footprint. The monitor utilizes Sony's Trinitron technology, which utilizes an aperture grille instead of the shadow mask found in traditional CRT designs. This leads to superior brightness, color accuracy, and overall picture clarity. With a vertical refresh rate range of 48 Hz to 120 Hz, the CPD-G200 is adept at handling both standard desktop tasks and fast-moving video content, ensuring smooth visuals during use.

Another remarkable aspect of the CPD-G200 is its ergonomic design. The user-friendly on-screen display (OSD) allows for easy adjustments of brightness, contrast, and other picture settings, facilitating an optimal viewing experience tailored to individual preferences. The monitor also features tilt and swivel capabilities to enhance user comfort, reducing strain during prolonged usage.

To further enhance its capabilities, the CPD-G200 is equipped with various input options, including standard VGA input, making it compatible with a wide range of computers and devices from the time of its release. Additionally, the monitor was designed with a focus on reduced electromagnetic interference, ensuring a cleaner, flicker-free display that is pleasant on the eyes, crucial for long work sessions.

Overall, the Sony CPD-G200 appeals to users who prioritize exceptional image quality and reliable performance in a CRT monitor. Its combination of advanced technologies and thoughtful design features makes it a noteworthy option for anyone needing a robust display solution in the transitional period before the widespread adoption of LCD technology. Although today’s market has shifted towards flat-screen monitors, the legacy of the CPD-G200 remains significant in the history of display innovation.
