Overview
Multi-format Widescreen LCD Monitor
The PVM-L2300 is a 23-inch LCD monitor equipped with a customized WCG-CCFL (Wide Colour Gamut CCFL) backlight system designed for use in Broadcast applications. The image processing engine uses the same technology as the award-winning BVM-L TRIMASTER Series, ensuring the PVM-L2300 offers the superb picture performance and sophisticated features required by today's broadcast critical picture-monitoring applications.
The PVM-L2300 can also accept almost any type of video and PC signal, both analogue and digital. The video interface accepts analogue composite signals up to 3G SDI, as well as HDMI™ and DVI signals.
In addition, the PVM-L2300 extends the user-friendly approach of Sony's professional CRT monitors in terms of system configuration, installation, functionality, and operational convenience.
The PVM-L2300 is the ideal choice for the next level of digital broadcast systems that requires smooth migration from CRT to LCD, SD to HD, and/or interlaced to progressive.

Suitable for a Wide Range of High-End Applications
Ideal for BROADCAST (studio, engineering, etc.) PRODUCTION (OB, Master Control Room, etc.) and POST PRODUCTION (Editing, VFX, CGI. etc) applications
Picture Quality Rivalling Top-Flight CRT Monitors
The PVM-L2300 is capable of displaying High Definition in native mode 1920x1080 pixels. Equipped with a 10-bit customised LCD panel, a precision backlight for extended colour gamut and a Sony display engine providing 12-bit output processing for precision imaging, the PVM-L2300 is the ideal choice for high quality and critical viewing requirements
Superb Colour Accuracy
The innovative Colour Management System ensures consistent and repeatable colours to match the international ITU-709, SMPTE-C and EBU colour space standards
Outstanding Greyscale and Colour Depth Provide Lifelike Picture Quality
Superb precision in picture reproduction is achieved through the 10-bit LCD panel drivers and 12-bit output signal processing.
Consistently Optimal Picture Performance
Less 'drift' than CRT displays, with an absence of picture distortions such as convergence, geometry, linearity and focus variation. The PVM-L2300 is also immune to magnetic field interference.
Faithful Reproduction of Interlaced Pictures
Capable of reproducing interlaced video images to the same standard as CRT monitors.
High Quality Motion Display
Black Frame Insertion Mode dramatically reduces motion blur.
Exemplary Picture Consistency
Consistent and repeatable chroma and greyscale performance ensures efficient matching between monitors.
Productivity Boost
New dual image processing including Picture Side by Side mode and a new Pixel Zoom function allow quick evaluation and comparison of two input sources.
Exceptionally Versatile
Due to its broad range of inputs and multi-format signal capabilities, the PVM-L2300 is equally suited to AV or IT-based applications, allowing you the freedom to operate in whichever format you choose from the entry HDMI to the latest 3G SDI
Future Proof
A slot structure allows accommodating various optional input boards and the ability to accept future boards as well to ensure that the PVM-L2300 remains current.
Easier to Install and Accommodate than CRT
The PVM-L2300 has benefits over CRT such as space saving, less weight and heat generated.
Air Conditioning Requirements lower than with CRT
LCD monitors generate less heat than CRT reducing the air conditioning requirements when used in large volume in a confined environment.
Easy Maintenance
Routine convergence, focus, geometry and linearity adjustments are no more necessary.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership than CRT
Long operational life / high reliability.
Low energy bills.
Low routine maintenance cost
Reduced environmental disposal costs.

Features
Customised Full HD Panel with 10-bit Driver
The PVM-L2300 monitor achieves both high resolution and stunning colour depth using a WUXGA (1920 x 1200 pixels) LCD panel and precise 10-bit driver.
High Quality I/P Conversion Technology
The PVM-L2300 monitor uses a sophisticated I/P conversion technique that keeps artefacts that are often seen in typical LCD monitors to a minimum such as edge jaggedness, conversion errors, etc.
Low video delay
The PVM-L2300 display engine provides a picture delay that is less than one field.
High Accuracy Display Engine
The PVM-L2300 monitor uses a 12-bit output display engine, which allows images to be reproduced with high precision for accurate evaluation and manipulation.
Panel Calibration
Every PVM-L2300 monitor is carefully calibrated at the factory on an individual basis, providing a high level of accuracy and stability for characteristics such as gamma and uniformity.
Colour Feedback System
Using a colour feedback system, the PVM-L2300 monitor achieves the stability required for Broadcast critical viewing applications.
Input Versatility
The PVM-L2300 monitor can accept almost any SD or HD video format, both analogue and digital, plus PC signals from VGA to WUXGA (1920 x 1200). In addition to a DVI-D and an HDMI interface equipped as standard, four option board slots are offered to configure this monitor according to different user needs.
Four Slots for Optional Video Input Decoders
The monitor can accept up to four optional video input boards simultaneously. Available formats include analogue, composite, Y/C, components, RGB and digital 3G/HD/SD SDI.
Interlaced Display Mode
Faithfully reproduces interlaced signals, emulating CRT monitors.
Dual Image Processing
Image Side by Side mode provides users with enhanced operational flexibility.
New Pixel Zoom Mode
Allows picture magnification up to 800% without scaling.
Black Frame Insertion Mode
Dramatically reduces motion blur – a problem common to many LCD monitors.
Black Detail Mode
This mode allows improving the black level reproduction when viewing images with low light contents.
Separate Control unit with memory stick slot
A separate control unit is available for the PVM-L2300. It is equipped with a Memory Stick socket enables users to download and save all monitor set-ups such as input channel configuration, control preset adjustments, white balance settings and maintenance parameters.
Centralised Monitor-Wall Control
Multiple monitors can be easily managed by a single control unit via a serial RJ45 Ethernet connector.
