FEATURES
High Picture Quality
◆ They use precisely manufactured high purity
RGB color filters, allowing the reproduction
of colors with stunning depth and
saturation to create highly natural images.
◆ They provide high-brightness, high-contrast
images by utilizing super-wide aperture LCD
panels. They offer a wide 178° (H/V) viewing
angle with virtually no reduction in picture
contrast, color saturation, and hue shift.
◆ They use a motion adaptive I/P conversion
process to achieve results that are optimized
to the picture content - whether static or
dynamic. Highly accurate I/P conversion is
provided regardless of signal resolution, for
example, whether the input is HD or SD.
Input Versatility
◆ They accept almost any SD or HD video
format, analog and digital. These include
composite NTSC and PAL, 480i/480p, 720p,
1080i, 1080/24P, 25P, 30P. They also accept
1080/24PsF and 1080/25PsF.
◆ Standard inputs include analog composite
(NTSC/PAL), S-Video, component and RGB.
Additional inputs can be added by using
option boards. Digital interfaces including
HD-SDI and SD-SDI are also offered as
options, to meet budgetary and user needs.
◆ They also accept various types of analog
and digital computer signal via the standard
HD-15 and DVI-D interfaces respectively.
With their high-performance scan convert-
ers, they can display PC signals from VGA to
1280 x 768 WXGA (LMD-1750W), 1680 x 1050
WSXGA+ (LMD-2050W) and 1920 x 1200
WUXGA (LMD-2450).
Accurate Gamma and Stable White Balance –
ChromaTRU Color Processing
For an extra level of color reproduction accuracy, every LCD panel used in the monitors is precisely
color calibrated at the factory, providing characteristics consistent with those of CRT displays. The
colorimetry of an LCD display, by nature, can exhibit inaccurate R, G, B color coordinates and
unbalanced R, G, B gamma curves, which can make precise color matching between multiple
monitors a challenge. These are also the primary reasons why LCD color tone can slightly differ
from CRT tone.
The LMD-1750W/2050W/2450W solve this problem by precisely calibrating each LCD panel’s light
output so that the R, G, B color coordinates are virtually the same as those of a CRT monitor. A
second calibration is further applied so that white balance is maintained at a consistent color
temperature throughout all grayscale levels. The result of these precise calibrations is color
reproduction reminiscent of Sony CRT displays.
17-, 20-, 24- and 42” High Grade Luma
HD LCD Video Monitors
The top-of-the-line LMD-1750W (17”), LMD-2050W (20”), LMD-2450W
(24”) and LMD-4250W (42”) offer the latest 10-bit DSP engine,
market-proven ChromaTRU color matching technology, and the high
functionality for which Sony professional video monitors are renowned.
Designed for broadcast and post- production applications, they accept
a variety signals in both analog and digital, and SD and HD formats.
Digital SD-SDI and HD-SDI interfaces are available as options.

Advanced Marker Settings
◆ The high-grade type LUMA monitors can display various area markers, including a center
marker, aspect markers, and a safety zone marker. The brightness of these markers can be
selected from three different levels: white, gray, and dark gray. Users can also select either a
black or gray matte to fill the outer area of the aspect markers. These flexible marker controls,
together with the choice of many different aspect markers,make the high-grade type LUMA
monitors extremely convenient display devices for a variety of shooting scenarios – from
standard video acquisition to digital cinematography
Four Panel Sizes
The high-grade type LUMA monitors are offered in four panel sizes between17” and 42”.
