HDR Compatible

When receiving HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) signals from a compatible imaging system, the LMD-XH550MD can accurately reproduce HDR images with a wider range of brightness levels, greater contrast and rich colors.

Local Dimming Technology

Sony’s unique Local Dimming Technology provides precise control over LED lighting sources for backlights in both light and dark areas. This technology allows for independent activation (ON) and deactivation (OFF) of LED lighting sources for each specific area, enabling redistribution of saved power from dark areas to boost the brightness of bright areas. The outcome is exceptional performance for HDR content, providing more natural images for an immersive viewing experience.

Wide, accurate color reproduction

The monitor’s advanced LCD panel and signal processing technology support highly consistent, accurate reproduction of a wide color gamut. This complies with ITU-R Recommendation BT.2020 that represents a significantly wider gamut than the BT.709 color space, allowing superior color reproduction and more realistic visualization.

Anti-reflection panel structure

The monitor’s design minimizes reflected glare in brightly lit ORs, including distracting reflections from surgical lights. The panel’s anti-reflection structure reduces light dispersion, ensuring high-contrast images under a wide range of illumination conditions and viewing angles.

A.I.M.E.™ technology

Sony’s A.I.M.E. (Advanced Image Multiple-Enhancer) technology enhances the displayed images by adjusting the color, contrast and visibility of shadow areas for an enhanced image analysis.

Clone output

The clone-output feature allows you to effortlessly see or record the same content that you are currently viewing when the second monitor or recorder is connected. Additionally, you have the flexibility to select the resolution of the clone-output, choosing between 4K or HD depending on your specific usage requirements.
