The '''Sony BVM-1915''' is a 19-inch broadcast video monitor (BVM) produced by Sony, designed for the NTSC market. It features an HR Trinitron CRT with 800 lines of horizontal resolution, making it a Grade 1 reference monitor suitable for critical color evaluation and broadcast quality control. The PAL equivalents of this model are the BVM-2015P and BVM-2015PM, which share the same service manual.<ref name="sm">Sony BVM-1915 / BVM-2015P / BVM-2015PM Service Manual (Sony Corporation)</ref>

The BVM-1915 belongs to an earlier generation of Sony's BVM line, produced around 1990.<ref name="shmups">[https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=58234 "Using Sony BVM-1915 without BNC terminators"], shmups.system11.org</ref> Unlike later BVM models such as the BVM-20E1U and BVM-20F1U — which adopted a modular design requiring a separate BKM-10R or BKM-11R control unit — the BVM-1915 features built-in controls housed in a pull-out drawer on the front of the unit, offering extensive adjustment options directly on the monitor itself.<ref name="rgbmods">[https://www.rgbmods.com/products/sony-bvm-1915 Sony BVM-1915 listing], RGB Mods</ref> This design is similar to the older BVM-1910/2010 generation, which also integrated the controller into the monitor body.<ref name="cow">[https://creativecow.net/forums/thread/sony-bvm-crtsae/ "SONY BVM CRTs?"], Creative COW Forums</ref>

All BNC inputs on the BVM-1915 are equipped with loop-through outputs. When the loop-through output of any input is not in use, a 75-ohm BNC terminator should be attached to maintain proper signal levels.<ref name="shmups" /> The RGBS and component (R-Y/B-Y) inputs share the same set of BNC connectors and the user must select between the two modes, as they cannot be used simultaneously.
