LMD-2050W
Professional LCD Monitors
In response to the rapid spread of High Definition
(HD) content creation, Sony has added two high-
grade HD monitors to its LMD Series of LCD monitors.
One is the LMD-2450W, featuring a 24-inch*1panel
with true HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, the
other is the LMD-2050W, with a 20-inch*2panel of
1680 x 1050 resolution.
Using the market-proven Sony ChromaTRU™techno-
logy, these monitors achieve accurate colour
matching between panels with colour reproduction
equivalent to Sony CRT displays. They are also
designed to offer the high functionality and ope-
rability for which Sony professional video monitors
are renowned.
The LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W accept a variety
of signals in both analogue and digital and HD
and SD formats. Analogue interfaces include
composite NTSC and PAL, Y/C, RGB and HD/SD
component, all of which are offered as standard,
while digital interfaces are provided in HD-SDI and
SD-SDI as options.
In addition, analogue HD-15 and DVI-D interfaces
are equipped as standard to accept PC signals
ranging from VGA to WUXGA.
A closed caption decoder and backlight control
function are also offered on both models, together
with many other professional video monitor
functions such as parallel remote control, markers,
tally and external sync input.
The LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W, residing at the
top of the LMD Series, are the best-suited LCD
monitors in their class for picture monitoring in
broadcast and post-production applications.

and post-production picture monitoring

Input Versatility
Multi-format Signal Support
The LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W both accept almost any SD or HD
video format, in both analogue and digital. These include compos-
ite NTSC and PAL, component 480/60i and 575/50i, progressive
480/60P and 576/50P and high-definition 1080/60i, 1080/50i, 720/60P,
1080/24P, 1080/25P and 1080/30P. They also accept 1080/24PsF and
1080/25PsF. Standard interfaces include analogue composite
(NTSC/PAL), SD/HD analogue component and RGB and Y/C.
Additional analogue inputs are available using option boards.
Digital interfaces including HD-SDI and SD-SDI are also offered as
optional boards to meet budgetary and user needs. Furthermore,
the LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W accept various types of analogue
and digital computer signals via their standard HD-15 and DVI-D
interfaces, respectively. Finally, with their high-performance scan
converters, these monitors can display PC signals ranging from VGA
to WUXGA*.
* The LMD-2050W cannot display 1920 x 1200 WUXGA images. Images ranging from WSXGA+
(1680 x 1050) to 1920 x 1080 are down-converted for display on the LMD-2050W.
Preset Computer Input Frequencies
The LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W are factory preset to accept
32 and 25 typical computer input signal frequencies, respectively.
Superb Picture Performance
High-purity Colour Filters
The LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W use precisely manufactured RGB
colour filters, allowing the reproduction of colours with stunning
depth and saturation to create highly natural images.
Accurate Gamma and Stable White Balance –
ChromaTRU Colour Processing
For an extra level of colour reproduction accuracy, every LCD panel
used in the LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W is precisely colour calibrat-
ed 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 colour coordinates and unbalanced R, G,
B gamma curves, which can make precise colour matching
between multiple monitors a challenge. These are also the primary
reasons why LCD colour tone can slightly differ from CRT tone.
The LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W solve this problem by precisely cal-
ibrating each LCD panel's light output so that the R, G, B colour
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 colour temperature throughout all
grayscale levels. The result of these precise calibrations is colour
reproduction equivalent to Sony CRT displays.

Parallel Remote Control
The LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W can be controlled remotely via
a parallel remote connector. There are 38 functions in the remote
menu, such as the ability to switch input signals, of which eight
can be allocated to the connector.
Stereo Audio Monitoring
The LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W are equipped with stereo speakers
(0.5 W + 0.5 W), which enable the operator to monitor audio.
Protected Controls
The key-inhibit function of the LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W monitors
helps prevent inadvertent operation from the control panel.
Closed-Caption Decoder
The LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W are equipped with a closed cap-
tion decoder. The closed caption information embedded in the
analogue composite and component inputs can be decoded for
display.
Mounting Flexibility (VESA, 19-inch EIA Standard Rack)
Complying with VESA (Video Electronics Standard Association)
standards, both the LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W can easily be
mounted (100 x 100 mm pitch) on a wall or ceiling. The LMD-2050W
(8U high) can also be rack-mounted in a 19-inch EIA standard rack
using the optional MB-529 Mounting Bracket, even though the
monitor itself is wider than 19 inches.
Sophisticated I/P Conversion
The LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W use a motion-adaptive
I/P-conversion process to achieve conversion results that are
optimised 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.
Excellent Brightness and Contrast
The LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W provide high-brightness,
high-contrast images by utilising super-wide aperture LCD panels.
Extremely Wide Viewing Angle
The LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W offer the most stable images
within the LMD Series when viewed from various angles. They both
offer a wide viewing angle of 178 degrees, horizontally and vertical-
ly, with virtually no reduction in picture contrast, colour saturation
and hue shift. This allows precise images to be clearly viewed from
various positions and angles – a critical requirement in professional
video monitoring.
Operational Convenience
Advanced Marker Settings
These monitors can display various area markers, including a centre
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 LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W extremely conven-
ient display devices for a variety of shooting scenarios – from stan-
dard video acquisition to digital cinematography.
Colour Temperature Selection
The colour temperature of both the LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W
monitors can be selected from 9300k, 6500k and a user-defined
preset.
Selectable Scan Size
The scan size of the LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W monitors can be
selected between 5% overscan and 0% scan modes. The aspect
ratio can be switched between 16:9 and 4:3 according to the input
signal.
Three-colour Tally
The LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W come equipped with a tally lamp
that can be lit via a parallel remote connector. The status of the
signal displayed on the monitor can be identified by the tally colour
- red, green, or amber.
Smart APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) for Computer Input
The image size of the LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W monitors can be
automatically adjusted to its optimal setting with the one-touch APA key.

The CIE u' v' chart is used to evaluate the light output of display
devices. In this diagram, the raw light output of a Sony LCD panel
is compared with that of a Sony CRT. The triangular areas show
their different colour reproduction capabilities (Colour Space).
The green and red dots indicate the colour of light output from
a Sony LCD panel and from a Sony CRT for certain RGB input
signals. Note that the same light colour is not obtained for the
same video input. The ChromaTRU process, on the other hand,
reproduces consistent light output extremely close to that of a CRT.
