The '''Sony PVM-1354Q''' is a 13-inch multi-standard professional video monitor introduced in 1994.<ref name="crtdb">[https://crtdatabase.com/crts/sony/sony-pvm-1354q Sony PVM-1354Q], CRT Database.</ref> It shares a manual and most of its design with the 19-inch [[Sony PVM-1954Q|PVM-1954Q]] and the lower-resolution 13-inch PVM-1351Q.<ref name="oi">Sony PVM-1954Q/PVM-1354Q/PVM-1351Q Operating Instructions, Sony Corporation. https://archive.org/details/sony_PVM-1954Q_1354Q_1351Q_Operating_Instructions.PDF</ref>

The monitor uses an HR (High Resolution) Trinitron tube — Sony part [[M34KBE20X]] with a 0.25 mm aperture grille pitch<ref name="crtdb" /> — rated at more than 600 TV lines at the centre of the picture and coated with SMPTE-C phosphor, making it suitable for critical colour work.<ref name="oi" /> Colour temperature offers two fixed presets plus a USER setting adjustable from 3200 K to 10000 K, factory set to 6500 K.<ref name="oi" /> Video bandwidth is 6.0 MHz (−3 dB) on the composite input and 10.0 MHz on RGB.<ref name="oi" />

Colour system selection is automatic across PAL, SECAM, NTSC and NTSC 4.43.<ref name="oi" /> An NTSC comb filter suppresses cross-colour, and a beam current feedback circuit holds white balance stable as content changes.<ref name="oi" />

The PVM-1354Q is generally regarded as the precursor to the M-series PVMs and is often preferred over them because its power supply is less failure-prone.<ref name="crtdb" />

== Features ==

Front-panel controls include blue-only mode for chroma and phase setup, underscan, horizontal/vertical delay for checking sync, an external sync selector, and automatic degaussing at power-on plus a manual DEGAUSS button.<ref name="oi" /> On-screen menus cover colour temperature, chroma setup and other adjustments in five languages.<ref name="oi" />

Every input is a loop-through pair. The 75-ohm termination on an input is applied internally and released automatically the moment a cable is plugged into the matching output connector, so no termination switches or plug-in terminators are needed.<ref name="oi" />

The RGB/COMPONENT BNC trio accepts either analog RGB or Betacam-style R-Y/Y/B-Y component signals, selected on the front panel. With the EXT SYNC selector off, the monitor syncs to the green/Y channel; with it on, it locks to a reference fed into the separate EXT SYNC IN connector.<ref name="oi" />

A 20-pin REMOTE connector drives the front-panel tally lamp from a control console or special-effects generator and can also carry a remote controller.<ref name="oi" /> An optional SDI kit adds a serial digital input, raising power consumption from about 90 W to about 99 W.<ref name="oi" /> With an MB-502B bracket the monitor mounts in a standard EIA 19-inch rack.<ref name="oi" />
