New 57-Inch Professional LCD From Planar
Planar Systems is shipping a 57-inch professional grade 57-inch LCD panel, the m57L. The m57L is specified at 1920 x 1080 resolution, and Planar says it is built with features such as resistance to image quality degradation, higher brightness and broad source compatibility.
The m57L has Serial Digital Input (SDI) that is capable of accepting standard definition and high-definition SDI resolutions. The 1080p native resolution enables the multiple window display to create an active image area approximately equal to seventeen 14-inch CRT monitors, says Planar, a common configuration in broadcast control rooms (one of the target applications). The m57L is also preconfigured with presets for common color temperatures.
It uses improved sharpness scaling and 10 bit gamma processing, can automatically synch with a variety of input signals and has a built-in real-time clock for scheduling events, such as power off, source switching, etc. Built-in tiling (Planar’s Big Picture), mullion compensation and digital loop through are provided for applications requiring multiple, tiled displays.
The m57L is now shipping at an MSRP of $17,000 for the data version and $17,500 for the video-enabled model.
