The LCD panel has been developed exclusively for use on the BVM-L230, based on strict master monitor criteria. It offers a 10-bit driver and other high- level specifications such as high oper- ating frame rates and high-speed re- sponse.

* 22.5-inch viewable area, measured diagonally.

Using Sony-designed high-purity LEDs, the precision backlight system is also a development used exclusively in the BVM-L230. This enables the widest colour gamut ever offered in a Sony monitor and fully covers broadcast- standard colour spaces. The precision backlight system also incorporates a uniformity control function and a colour feedback system.
