Features:

Multi-format Signal Support: The LMD-2050W accepts almost any SD or HD video format, both analog and digital. These include composite NTSC and PAL, component 480/60i and 575/50i, progressive 480/60P and 576/50P, and high-definition 1080/60i, 1080/50i, 720/60P, 1080/24P, 1080/25P and 1080/30P. They also accept 1080/24PsF and 1080/25PsF. Standard interfaces include analog composite, analog component and RGB and Y/C. Additional inputs can be added by using option boards. The LMD-2050W also accepts various types of analog and digital computer signals via the standard HD-15 and DVI-D interfaces respectively
ChromaTRU Color Processing: For an extra level of color reproduction accuracy, every LCD panel used in the LMD-2050W is precisely color calibrated at the factory, providing characteristics consistent with those of CRT displays. The ChromaTRU process allows the LMD-2050W to exhibit a color consistency such as SMPTE-C, ITU-709 with a simple menu selection.
Sophisticated I/P Conversion: The LMD-2050W uses a motion adaptive I/P conversion process to achieve conversion results that are optimized 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.
Extremely Wide Viewing Angle: A 178 degree horizontal and vertical viewing angle provides virtually no reduction in picture contrast, color saturation, and hue shift. This allows precise images to be clearly viewed from various positions and angles - a critical requirement in professional video monitoring.
