Sony BVM-E250, BVM-E170 Preliminary

BVM-E250 / BVM-E170

Professional OLED Master Monitor

Sony is proud to introduce its much-anticipated BVM-E Series of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) master

monitors: the BVM-E250 – 24.5-inch (623.4 mm, diag.) and BVM-E170 – 16.5-inch (420.0 mm, diag.). Only

Sony has the capability to develop products such as these, as the company builds on over 30 years of CRT

and LCD master monitor experience in the production industry, and has created its own sophisticated OLED

display devices and signal processing engines.

To improve the OLED self light-emitting device, Sony incorporates its unique Super Top Emission OLED

technology. The result is superb picture quality – these new master monitors deliver outstanding black

performance, quick response with virtually no motion blur, and a wide color gamut.

Sony’s Super Top Emission technology is a micro-cavity structure and incorporates color lters.

The micro-cavity structure uses an optical resonance effect to enhance color purity and improve

light-emission efciency. In addition, the color lter of each RGB further enhances the color purity of emitted

light, and reduces ambient light reection.

As well as developing the OLED display panel for this superb monitor series, Sony also developed a

dedicated 12-bit output accuracy digital signal processing engine. This professional engine features a

nonlinear cubic conversion color-management system that delivers stunning uniformity, smoother-than-ever

gamma performance, and picture quality consistency.

The combination of the Super Top Emission OLED display panel and the dedicated professional display

engine justies describing the BVM-E250 and BVM-E170 as groundbreaking, next-generation master monitors.

With these cutting-edge products, Sony opens a new chapter in professional monitor history.
