Characteristics of the Sony Multiscan 17se Trinitron color graphic display.

Technical measurements of the Sony Multiscan 17se were made and are reported in the belief that they would be useful to visual scientists who consider employing this device as a display unit. Luminance, spatial uniformity, luminance additivity between the output of the guns, CIE1931 chromaticity coordinates, and gamma correction parameters were measured. The characteristics of individual monitors will probably be different from the one studied here but it is believed that the results obtained serve as a fair indication of what might be expected from this device.
