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.
