The LMD-2051W offers highly accurate and consistent colour reproduction through its unique Sony ChromaTRU technology. This allows assured picture quality decisions as well as facilitating close colour matching for tiling applications.
The LMD-2051W inherits the technology and features of the LMD-2050W. It also includes the latest generation of LCD panel which provides improved colour accuracy and viewing angle.
Full digital 10-bit processing adds to the already impressive array of specifications, delivering smooth greyscale and colour transitions.
The LMD-2051W accepts a 3G SDI input interface to display 1080p format for future proof capability.
A DVI-D input is available enabling a third-party manufacturer's multi-image processor to be connected. The Quad Split board developed by Harris can be inserted in a slot on the LMD-2051W saving space in confined environments.
It also sports a new on-screen video waveform and audio level meter combined together plus a picture-in-picture mode for greater user flexibility.
Entirely at home in broadcast, OB, production, post-production and corporate environments, the LMD-2051W accepts a wide variety of PC and analogue video formats and optional decoder boards are available for standard and high definition digital video display.

Air Conditioning Requirements lower than with CRT
LCD monitors generate less heat.
Low Maintenance
No routine convergence, geometry or linearity adjustments necessary. No susceptibility to magnetic fields.
Reduced Operator Fatigue
Flicker-free picture is more comfortable to view and reduces eye-strain.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership than CRT
Simpler and cheaper to install, transport and store. Long operational life / high reliability. Low energy bills. Low maintenance cost. Reduced environmental disposal costs.
Features
New High Definition 1680x1050 WSXGA+ LCD Panel
Delivers outstandingly crisp, high brightness and high contrast images
Extremely wide Viewing Angle
Class-leading horizontal and vertical viewing angle – ideal for group viewing.
High Purity Colour Filters
The LMD-2051W uses precisely manufactured RGB colour filters, allowing the reproduction of colours with stunning depth and saturation to create highly natural images.
Colour Temperature
Colour temperatures of 9300k, 6500k, or a user preset value can be selected.
Accurate and Repeatable Colour Reproduction
ChromaTRU technology ensures close CRT colour accuracy and gamma matching throughout the product's life and delivers consistent colour temperature across the entire greyscale range. Both control characteristics also assure extremely tight colour matching between different model samples.
Three settings are available to simulate EBU, SMPTE and ITU-709 colour reproduction.
Three settings are available to simulate EBU, SMPTE and ITU-709 colour reproduction.
10-bit Picture Processing
Delivers smooth colour and greyscale transitions for high quality video production.
Sophisticated I/P Conversion
The LMD-2051W monitor uses a motion-adaptive I/P-conversion process to achieve conversion results that are optimized to the picture content - whether it is static or dynamic. Highly accurate I/P conversion is provided regardless of signal resolution, for example, whether the input is HD or SD.
Multi-Format Signal Support - up to 3G SDI Input
LMD-2051W can accept almost any SD or HD video format, both analogue and digital.
