Notes

As with all monochrome monitors, the picture is much cleaner if you're able to input a pure chroma signal rather than composite video. This can be obtained from S-Video (via an RCA adapter), or from component video if you use the green RCA plug.

This monitor had a very long production run, from 1993 until the mid-2000s.

The phosphor used in the PVM-96 and PVM-136 has a white balance of 6500k. Sony also produced the PVM-137, which used a 9300k phosphor but was otherwise identical.
