At NAB 2010, Sony showed off two professional grade high performance 3D monitors in 24″ (LMD-2451TD, pictured above) and 42″ (LMD-4251TD) sizes. In recent years, digital technologies for stereoscopic 3D cinema production and live shooting have progressed rapidly, and the market for 3D entertainment is undoubtedly growing. However, people grow tired very quickly of lackluster 3D and desire sophisticated presentations.
The true magic within these monitors are the unique ChromaTRU color matching technologies; they also support full HD (1920×1080) resolution, and is basically a killer LCD with IPS panel and a wide viewing angle. With an optional dual stream HD-SDI interface, these monitors support signals including 1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 1080/24PsF, and 1080/23.98PsF formats. They can also be used as 2D monitors, and should be available in September.
These professional monitors incorporate a micro-polarizer 3D filter attached to the LCD panel, and are supplied with circular polarizer 3D glasses. Wearing these lightweight 3D glasses, users can enjoy smooth, uninterrupted viewing of multiple monitors.
