Features

Superior Picture Performance

◗ High Picture Quality

The Trinitron CRT incorporated in both the PVM-20L2 and
PVM-14L2 provides clear and precise images with a resolution
of 600 TV lines*.

* Supported on PVM-20L2 and PVM-14L2 monitors. The PVM-9L2
incorporates a Trinitron CRT that provides images with a resolution of 250
TV lines.

◗ Beam-Current Feedback Circuit

Because monitor white balance is prone to drift during
continuous operation over long periods of time, PVM-L2 Series
monitors are equipped with a beam-current feedback circuit.
This corrects white balance drift, resulting in the long-term
stability of color reproduction.

◗ Digital Comb Filter

The NTSC/PAL digital comb filter enhances the
luminance/chrominance separation used to reduce cross-color
interference and color noise, ensuring clear and highly detailed
picture reproduction.

Input Flexibility

◗ Versatile Signal Input

PVM-L2 Series monitors are equipped with input connectors for
component (Y/R-Y/B-Y)*, RGB*, Y/C and composite signals to
provide system flexibility. For accurate reproduction, the
component level can be adjusted according to the input system.

* The PVM-9L2 monitor requires the optional BKM-129X Analog Component
Input Adaptor.

option slot on the rear panel, PVM-L2
Series monitors can accept direct input
