Overview
Precautions
On Safety
• Operate the unit only with a power source as specified
in the “Specifications” section.
• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc., is located on the rear panel.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power cord.
If the power cord is damaged, turn off the power
immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit with a
damaged power cord.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used
for several days or more.
• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by
grasping the plug, not by pulling the cord.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
Chapter
of pixels may be “stuck”, either always off (black),
always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition,
over a long period of use, because of the physical
characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such “stuck”
pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are
not a malfunction.
• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can
damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place the
unit by a window.
• Do not push or scratch the LCD monitor’s screen. Do
not place a heavy object on the LCD monitor’s screen.
This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.
• If the unit is used in a cold place, horizontal lines or a
residual image may appear on the screen. This is not a
malfunction. When the monitor becomes warm, the
screen returns to normal.
• If a fixed picture such as a frame of a divided picture or
time code, or a still picture is displayed for a long time,
an image may remain on the screen and be
superimposed as a ghosting image.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.

On Cleaning
On Installation
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
build-up.
Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or
near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the
ventilation holes.
• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or
shock.
Handling the LCD Screen
• The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with
high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel
ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion
Before cleaning
Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet.
On cleaning the monitor screen
The monitor screen surface is especially treated to reduce
reflection of light.
As incorrect maintenance may impair the performance of
the monitor, take care with respect to the following:
• Wipe the screen gently with a soft cloth such as a
cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.
If you wipe the screen using too much force, the screen
surface may lose uniformity or the LCD panel may
malfunction.
Never use tissue as it may scar the surface of the screen.
• Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such
as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth lightly
dampened with water.
Precautions
7
• Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or
acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning
cloth, as they will damage the screen surface.
Features
On cleaning the cabinet
• Clean the cabinet gently with a soft dry cloth. Stubborn
Chapter 1 Overview
stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened
with mild detergent solution, followed by wiping with a
soft dry cloth.
• Use of alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide may
damage the finish of the cabinet or remove the
indications on the cabinet. Do not use these chemicals.
• If you rub on the cabinet with a stained cloth, the cabinet
may be scratched.
• If the cabinet is in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin
product for a long period of time, the finish of the cabinet
may deteriorate or the coating may come off.
On Repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They
make an ideal container which to transport the unit.
On Rack Mounting
When the monitor is mounted on a rack, the temperature
around the monitor may rise due to heat generated from
other equipment and reduced air circulation, causing
damage to the monitor. To prevent this, keep the space
around the monitor (1U or more space above and below the
monitor), and install a ventilation fan or take other
effective countermeasures so that the temperature around
the monitor is within the specified range: operating
temperature range of 0 to 35 °C (32 to 95°F).
The PVM-L2300 is 23-inch LCD Video Monitor. This is
suitable for television stations or video production houses,
where precise image reproduction is required.
The PVM-L2300 features flat panel and “TRIMASTER*”,
which is a new technology developed for three elements,
“accurate color reproduction”, “precision imaging” and
“quality picture consistency,” that are in demand for
professional use. “TRIMASTER” decreases the viewing
difference that occurs due to the individuality of each
panel. Also, the PVM-L2300 realizes the high picture
quality and high-trust by the color management system
with its wide color gamut device, high-resolution/precise
gradation display, animation improvement technology and
signal processing of high accuracy/calibration/feedback
system.
* TRIMASTER is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
23-inch LCD panel developed for the PVM
The 23-inch (22.5 inch) LCD panel was developed for the
PVM-L2300 and supports the full HD signal.
It offers a 10-bit driver, high-speed response, high
resolution and high color gradation.
12-bit precision display engine for professional
use
The panel is equipped with a unique signal process engine
developed for the professional use monitor. This engine
incorporates 12-bit output accuracy at each process, and
provides a high-quality I/P conversion algorithm, scaling
processing, panel driving and a highly accurate color
management system.
If you have any questions about this unit, please contact
your Sony service representative.
Features
8
Multi color space
A color management system which uses the unique 3D
LUT (Look Up Table) reproduces the color space that
complies with the broadcast standard ITU-R BT.709, EBU
and SMPTE-C accurately.
High-quality I/P conversion processing
A high-quality picture near the original one, in which
jagged lines and conversion errors are decreased by
detecting the feature of the picture inside the subdivided
block and processing properly, is reproduced.
The signal delay is decreased by judging the animation or
still picture from the past video signal.
Interlace display mode
The interlace signal is displayed as the interlace picture by
inserting the black line without I/P conversion processing.
A picture faithful to the original signal and with the same
feel as a CRT is gained.
For setting the display, see “Selecting Display Mode” on
page 77.
For the operation, see “Displaying the Area Marker or
Aspect Marker” on page 83.
Black frame insertion display mode
Motion blur caused by the holding-type display of the LCD
is decreased by inserting the black frame between the
picture frames in double frame rate (100/120Hz) operation
of the LCD panel.
For setting the display, see “Selecting Display Mode” on
page 77.
Available to a multi signal format
The monitor supports various input signals such as 720 ×
576/50i to 1920 × 1080/50P, 60P and variable computer
signals up to WUXGA (1920 × 1200). A DVI-D (HDCP
correspondence), HDMI* and four option slots are
equipped as the interface and the monitor supports HDSDI, SDI, RGB, YPbPr, Y/C, composite and Dual-link
HD-SDI signal input.
* HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia
Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of
HDMI Licensing LLC.
HD frame capture function
The frame of the HD-SDI input signal is captured and
saved as a picture file in the “Memory Stick”. This is used
to confirm the color tone and picture angle of the current
scene and recorded scene by using the multi display
(Picture&Picture) function.
* As the frame of the input signal is captured, the data and
marker set by the monitor is not reflected.
For the operation, see “Capturing the Picture of the HD
Signal (HD Frame Capture)” on page 82.
Multi display function
Two kinds of input signals are output on the monitor. Side
by Side mode is useful for adjusting the color or comparing
two pictures.
For the operation, see “Displaying Two Signals on One
Screen (Picture&Picture)” on page 79.
Pixel zoom function
As part of the picture is magnified up to 8 times without
scaling processing, this is convenient for confirming a
minute part of the signal.
Scan selection/Native scan display function
You can select from under scan (–3%), normal scan (0%)
and over scan (mask of the 5% over scan portion in the
normal scan) for the picture display.
The monitor is equipped with a native scan display
function which maps the pixel of the signal to the panel in
one-to-one mode. You can select the mode from ×1, ×2 or
Aspect Correction to display a signal in native mode. An
SD signal of non-square pixels (the number of H pixels of
the signal system is 720 or 1440) or a 640 × 480 SD signal
of DVI video/HDMI video is displayed correctly by
scaling processing of doubling for the V direction and
correct aspect ratio for the H direction, and the picture is
also optimized and displayed by modifying the aperture
coefficient value, filter coefficient value, etc. in Aspect
Correction mode.
For the operation, see “Selecting the Native Scan/Scan
Mode” on page 78.
Black detail mode display function
You can reduce to dull black color by backlight leaking and
precisely assess any parts with low color gradation.
You can decrease the black level up to 40% of the normal
display (100 cd/m

Chapter 2 Preparations
Illumination environments
The apparent color reproduction on the monitor is greatly
affected by ambient light or glare.
The LCD device controls the brightness by moving LCD
molecules with the backlight always lit. For this reason,
in a dark place, an LCD monitor screen shows very dim
light leaks from the black image. We recommend that you
adjust the ambient light and use in an environment that
does not degrade the reproduction of black.
Viewing angle
The ideal viewing angle is within 5 degrees (up/down/left/
right) off the center of the monitor screen when the
operator views the entire monitor screen. Keep the
viewing angle within 15 degrees off the center of the
monitor screen.

Adjusting
Before adjusting
The monitor must be warmed up sufficiently.
To perform stable color reproduction, turn on the power of
the monitor, display the white signal and leave it in this
state for more than 30 minutes.
About monitor adjustment
The monitor is used as a measuring instrument and is
required to faithfully reproduce the input signal. To
measure the signal accurately, the monitor must be
calibrated correctly using a reference signal.
To calibrate, adjust the following items in sequence.
1 Chroma/phase adjustment
You can save the adjustment value in Preset1 to
Preset5. The data of Preset1 to Preset5 is set to the
channel in the Picture Preset menu (page 50) of the
Input Configuration menu.
Adjust the picture automatically with the auto chroma/
phase/matrix function for every signal format and
signal system to display the composite signal or Y/C
signal from the BKM-227W, or analog component
signal or analog RGB signal from the BKM-229X. If
the picture is not adjusted, the picture may not be
displayed correctly.
2 Color Temperature (white balance) adjustment
You can adjust the data set to the channel in the Color
Temp menu (page 50) of the Input Configuration
menu.
You can adjust D93, D65 or User1 to User5.
3 Brightness/Contrast adjustment
You can save the adjustment value in Preset1 to
Preset5. The data of Preset1 to Preset5 is set to the
channel in the Picture Preset menu (page 50) of the
Input Configuration menu.
28
Chroma/Phase Adjustment
Automatic adjustment (with auto chroma/phase/matrix
function) is required for each signal format, signal system
and matrix to display the composite or Y/C signal from the
BKM-227W, or the analog component or analog RGB
signal from the BKM-229X.
As you can automatically adjust the chroma, phase, matrix
and also 100% (white) and 0% (black) levels of the monitor
to the same as those of the reference signal by performing
the automatic adjustment, the automatic adjustment is also
effective for the RGB signal.
Perform the manual adjustment of chroma and phase to
adjust them further after automatic adjustment or the
digital signal from the BKM-220D, BKM-243HS or BKM244CC.
