Sony today introduced two new product lines to its StylePro and DeluxePro series of LCD displays. Both offer multiple model configurations aimed at meeting the specific needs of the business professional while providing a cost effective solution and are engineered specifically for corporate, government and education markets. Available in both 17-inch and 19-inch sizes, the displays allow more than 15 feature combinations to meet office computing needs. The Sony StylePro Series displays include digital inputs and one-touch height adjustment, as well as tilt and 350 degree-swivel for easy viewing. Front-panel headphone jacks provide convenient access to computer audio and Sony's ErgoBright technology for simple luminance adjustment. The DeluxePro series displays include digital inputs, height adjustment and stereo speakers as standard features while also offering a switched USB hub in select models for power-users who frequently need to switch between two computer systems.

The USB hub acts like a KVM switch and allows users to easily toggle between PCs, reducing the need for additional peripherals such as keyboards and mice. The StylePro display line is available in black starting at around $315, while the DeluxePro display line will be available in September (in black) starting at about $410. All models feature Sony's ErgoBright technology to optimize brightness for any lighting condition to help reduce eyestrain. For color-critical applications, the DeluxePro Series displays include five gamma presets for setting the optimal tonal curve, RGB gain, and bias adjustments for accurate control of color at both high and low ends of the gray scale.
