Mitsubishi Electric launches new 46” Full High Definition LCD monitor at IBC 2007

Press release – The latest addition to the Mitsubishi Electric range of professional LCD displays will be revealed at IBC 2007. The new 46” Full High Definition (FHD) display joins the company’s existing range of high-quality LCD monitors, all of which have been designed very much with the professional user in mind. Excellent image performance makes the LDT461V ideal for use in both active scenery and broadcast monitoring applications.

The LDT461V offers native 1920 x 1080 resolution, and is capable of supporting a wide variety of data and video sources via both analogue and digital inputs. True HD resolution combined with a fast response time of 6ms(grey-to-grey), 1500:1 contrast ratio and 500cd/m² brightness delivers superb image quality with high-fidelity colour reproduction. A low-reflection screen surface also helps to improve image quality in high ambient light environments such as public spaces or studio environments. A viewing angle of 176º in both vertical and horizontal planes allows the display to be clearly visible from virtually all angles.

A number of built-in features adds to the versatility of the LDT461V: Picture-in-picture and picture-out-picture functions allow video and data inputs to be combined in a number of different ways, while a comprehensive range of display modes allows content to be zoomed to any of the standard screen sizes, as well as anamorphically to achieve custom formats. In 4:3 display mode, side border bars are also user-configurable to black, grey or white. A built-in tiling mode enables multi-screen tiled displays of up to 25 panels (5 x 5) to be easily created without the need for an external image processor.

A number of useful enhancements have been included to reduce the need for user intervention and to improve long-term reliability. Display controls include a 7-day programmable on/off scheduler, enabling displays to switch on and off automatically. A power-up timer helps to reduce power surge when several displays are used together. Several screen–saver features are included to help reduce long-term LCD deterioration. Gamma and brightness can be set to pre-determined levels automatically, while an image shift function helps reduce image sticking by moving a static image around 10 mm in both vertical and horizontal planes after a preset time delay.
