Sony says it is once again re-defining professional master monitoring technology with its introduction of two new OLED displays. The new, reference-grade BVM-E Series – in 25- and 17-inch sizes – incorporate groundbreaking processing and imaging capabilities designed to give digital production specialists a true replacement for CRT in critical evaluation applications.

“These new monitors are the next evolution in professional displays, providing imaging specialists with the highest picture quality ever seen, well above any other existing display device,” said Alex Lofts, Content Creation Marketing at Sony Australia and New Zealand. “This is breakthrough technology for applications where visual performance and accuracy are paramount, offering an unbeatable combination of image reproduction, colour accuracy, reliability and stability.”

The new monitors – the 25-inch BVM-E250 and 17-inch BVM-E170 – boast several new features specifically designed for professional master monitoring. The first monitors to deliver full HD resolution OLED panels with 10-bit drivers, the BVM-E Series uses a newly developed ‘Sony Professional Display Engine’. The OLED processor is designed to bring out the full performance of a master monitor, producing deep blacks with high dynamic range, blur-free motion, wide colour gamut and accurate picture reproduction.

The BVM-E series also features the advantages of Sony’s unique “Super Top Emission” (STE) technology. The result is high light efficiency, high colour purity, high contrast and high reliability.

The new TRIMASTER EL line-up is refined with its new EL (electro-luminescence) displays, expanding the capabilities of Sony’s TRIMASTER™ technology. This maximises the full performance capabilities of professional flat-panel displays to deliver higher levels of colour accuracy and colour reproduction, precision imaging and consistent picture quality.

These models feature a higher accuracy “Nonlinear Cubic Conversion” colour management system, an I/P conversion system with extremely low processing delay, and CRT phosphor simulation.

The monitors also have a new chassis design, with a refined black aluminium body, and lighter and slimmer chassis, which puts a larger displayed image in a smaller footprint.

The BVM-E series also offers input versatility. Standard inputs include 3G/HD/SD-SDI, HDMI and a DisplayPort input. Four slots are also available with a choice of six BKM input board options. Other features include ability to load custom Look Up Tables (LUTs), HD frame capture, pixel zoom and P&P (Side by Side, Butterfly, Wipe, Blending). Finally, the monitors’ OLED technology is environmentally friendly, with less power consumption, lower weight and no environmental pollutants produced.

The BVM-E250 and BVM-E170 will be available in May and July 2011 respectively.
