Sony LMD-1530W User Manual

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.

ible marker controls, together with the choice of many
