Since its introduction in 2003, Sony’s LMD Series has
offered professional monitors in a variety of types and
sizes, suitable for applications in the studio and in the
field.
Building on a long history as a leading supplier of
high-definition technology products, Sony continues
to enhance its LMD Series of monitors by introducing
a new 15-inch entry level HD monitor, the
LMD-1530W.
This monitor can be used for desktop editing and of-
fice viewing applications with video or computer
format input through DVI to HDMI conversion cable.
The LMD-1530W also supports both HD-SDI and SD-
SDI with the optional BKM-341HS adaptor.
The LMD-1530W incorporates a 15:9 aspect ratio,
WXGA (1280 x 768 pixels) LCD panel, and an HDMI
interface - in addition to the features offered by the
current LMD-1420 SD monitor. It also comes in an al-
most equivalent size, both in height and width, as to
the popular LMD-1420 and LMD-1410 SD monitors.
Where smooth migration from the LMD-1420 or
LMD-1410 to HD picture monitoring is desired, the
LMD-1530W is an ideal choice in terms of product fea-
tures, operational usability, installation convenience,
as well as picture quality.
This product comes with the full PrimeSupport pack-
age. That’s fast, hassle-free repairs, a helpline offer-
ing expert technical advice, and a free loan unit while
yours is repaired. Plus the peace of mind that Sony is
looking after your equipment – and your business.
