The Sony PVM-14L2 is a 14-inch professional video monitor from Sony's L-series, launched in 2002 alongside the 20-inch PVM-20L2 and 9-inch PVM-9L2.[1] The L-series was the last line of professional CRT monitors Sony produced, built on a chassis redesigned from the preceding M-series.[2]
Its Trinitron tube (Sony part M34KBE11X) has a 0.25 mm aperture grille pitch, P-22 phosphor and 90-degree deflection, giving an effective picture of 267.5 × 200.6 mm — a 340 mm (13.4-inch) diagonal — and 600 TV lines of resolution.[1][2] Convergence is specified at 0.4 mm typical at centre and 0.5 mm at the periphery, linearity under 4 % in both axes, and high-voltage regulation at 3.5 %.[1]
The monitor is a fixed-frequency 15 kHz design, locking to 15.734 kHz for NTSC and 15.625 kHz for PAL, with 7 % overscan in normal scan and 5 % underscan in underscan mode.[1] Colour temperature offers D65, D93 and a user-adjustable setting.[1]
Unlike the M-series, the L-series takes a universal 100–240 V supply at 50/60 Hz. The 14L2 draws 75 W, or 86 W with a BMK-150CP option fitted.[1]
Features
All video inputs are loop-through pairs with automatic 75-ohm termination.[1] Line A carries both a composite BNC and a Y/C mini-DIN, with the Y/C input taking priority over composite when both are connected; Line B is composite only.[1] The RGB/Component BNC trio accepts analog RGB with 0.3 Vp-p sync on green or R-Y/Y/B-Y component, and the external sync BNC accepts a 4.0 Vp-p composite reference or a 0.6 Vp-p tri-level sync signal.[1]
A single option slot takes Sony BKM-series cards — SDI input, or the BKM-129X for an extra RGB input, which is scarce enough that reverse-engineered aftermarket copies are sold.[2] Remote control is over an assignable 8-pin modular parallel remote connector.[1] Audio output is 0.8 W with under 5 % distortion.[1]
Two quirks are worth knowing: the on-screen menu will sometimes refuse to display while the monitor is scanning 240p, and component input needs a service-menu adjustment to correct a phase error on the Pr signal.[2]
