Sony introduces the LMD-150S, a new 4:3 15-inch*1LCD panel that enhances the exciting LUMA™ Series of two-piece LCD monitors.

The LMD-150S is used in combination with its associated signal- processing unit*2 (the Multiformat Engine Unit), accepting a variety of signal formats ranging from SD to HD video, analog and digital, as well as analog computer signals. The Multiformat Engine Unit incorporates Sony's advanced X-Algorithm*3I/P conversion technology - the central element that enables the LMD-150S monitor to reproduce extremely smooth images.

The LMD-150S monitor uses a multi-layer AR coating, which protects the face panel from scratches and minimizes reflections from ambient light.

Combined with the Multiformat Engine Unit, the LMD-150S is the optimum choice for applications that mainly use Standard Definition today, but that will require HD monitoring in the future.

FEATURES

Excellent Picture Reproduction

By nature, LCD panels operate in progressive mode, so displaying an interlace signal can be a difficult task. However, with the Sony LMD-150S, this concern is a thing of the past. The X- Algorithm processing used in the Multiformat Engine Unit, intelligently converts interlaced signals to progressive signals, using a highly sophisticated algorithm. The result is extremely smooth diagonal picture edges, which can be technically difficult to reproduce on conventional LCD monitors.

Excellent Brightness and Contrast

(High Clarity Panel using Multi-Layer AR Coating)

Wide Viewing Angle of 170 degrees

Input Versatility

The Multiformat Engine Unit can accept the following SD or HD video formats:

NTSC and PAL

Component 480/60i and 575/50i
