Five Advanced Technologies in the New BT-LH2550
1
A Wide Color Space with Six Color Space Modes
The color space of the BT-LH2550 is 102% that of the NTSC
standard, so it exceeds the EBU/SMPTE range that can be
displayed by ordinary LCDs. It accurately reproduces colors that
are not easily reproduced by conventional displays, including CRTs,
to meet the needs of both broadcasters and image production
companies, and to work in fields such as digital cinema, CG
production, printing, publishing, advertising, and research.
The BT-LH2550 also offers three new color space modes in
addition to the three conventional modes. The modes are menu
switched. Modes can also be assigned to function switches on the
front panel for quick and easy changing.

A Space-Saving 25.5-inch Full-HD Monitor
The BT-LH2550 is a full-HD WUXGA
(1920 x 1200-pixel) high-resolution
IPS monitor. It is 10% narrower, 7%
shorter, and has a 16% smaller
footprint than our previous
BT-LH2600W model with the same
screen size.

An IPS Panel with a Wide 178° Viewing Angle
This high-brightness, high-contrast, horizontally aligned (using IPS
technology) LCD panel has 178° vertical and horizontal viewing
angles, the widest viewing angles offered by any LCD display.
It delivers high-quality images with superb color accuracy, and
exhibits minimal changes in brightness and color due to the
viewing angle.

Calibration Function
The BT-LH2550 comes installed
with calibration software that
allows it to be calibrated without
using a PC, by simply
connecting a manufacturer-
designated display color
analyzer and measurement
probe to the monitor.
*Konica Minolta CA-210 Display Color Analyzer with CA-PU12/CA-PU15 Standard
Measurement Probe. For more information for Konica Minolta calibration system,
please refer to <http://www.konicaminolta.com/instruments/index.html>.

2-Input Split-Screen Function
This function simultaneously
displays two images side-by-
side from two video inputs. It is
especially useful for combining
CGs and actual images.
Because a single monitor can
temporarily serve as two
monitors, it helps to save space.
It is also possible to set the size,
color space, and gamma and RGB gains individually for each input.
*It may not be possible to display both images simultaneously with certain input
signal combinations.

The top part shows the
color space when set to the ITU-709
mode. The bottom part shows the
color space in the WIDE3 (D-Cinema)
mode. This screen image is simulated
to show the differences in colors
when using different modes.
