The display panel on Sony's new monitor features a brightness of 1000 cd/m2 (maximum brightness of 800 cd/m2 at D65 adjustment), which Sony said makes it the brightest monitor on the surgical market. It comes in two versions: the LMD-2760MD (digital only interface) and the LMD-2765MD (digital and analog interface for compatibility with a range of HD and SD imaging sources).
The monitor has other features that add to the image quality too, including an advanced Sony technology called A.I.M.E. which reduces noise and improves visibility. A.I.M.E. offers four contrast modes and eight color modes to get the best visualization of the tissue being operated on. The monitor also utilizes OptiContrast to minimize reflection and glare.
Dr. Richard Mackool, assistant director of the Mackool Eye Institute and Laser Center, said the teaching capability of Sony's new monitor outperforms anything he has seen before. "It's been a pleasure to work with this device," said Mackool, "The more I work with it the more I can teach other people."
Sony's new monitor will become available for purchase this November, with price yet to be announced.
