NEW JVC FULL HD LCD MONITOR TARGETS DIGITAL SLR USERS
With wider colour space, 42-inch super slim, lightweight Full HD monitor faithfully reproduces the colours, detail and texture of high resolution still photos made by digital SLR cameras.
Sydney, 18 June 2009. Establishing a new category in flat panel TV design, JVC today announced an LCD display that includes a super slim monitor featuring a colour space that is wider than a typical HDTV’s. The new JVC LT-42WX70 is a 42-inch (107cm) Full HD LCD monitor that targets digital imaging professionals and enthusiasts using high-end digital SLR cameras, allowing them for the first time to see the subtle colours, details and textures of their images faithfully reproduced.
The monitor features expanded colour space capacity encompassing 100% of HDTV broadcasting’s(ITU-R BT.709) colour space and a coverage rate of 96% for Adobe RGB — a colour space for still photographs taken on high-definition digital SLR cameras — to provide accurate reproduction of both video and still photographs that are faithful to the ambience during shooting. This offers users a whole new way to enjoy TV viewing — “high-definition, virtual prints on a large 42-inch screen” — for displaying images immediately by connecting the monitor directly to an SLR camera compatible with HDMI or component connector, editing stills by connecting it to a PC via a D-sub 15-pin, or even do a round of on-screen checks in accurate colours prior to outputting images to a high-resolution digital photo printer for and thus save on expenses. The LT-42WX70 also features 52 picture-quality adjustment properties for tweaking both still and video images source-by-source to the exact colours and tones the user prefers. The secret to displaying accurate photographs on the monitor is a result of JVC’s advanced video picture technologies because in theory, video is a sequence of still pictures. Picture-quality technologies such as the DynaPix HD Picture Engine is progressing even more to match the source in producing accurate to the original photographs and clearer video images with smooth movement without blur or noise.
The LT-42WX70 delivers performance like that of a professional-studio monitor and equalizer in one complete package together with user-friendly operation thanks to an intuitive graphical on-screen display that is easy to control via the equipped remote, and touch-panel operation that makes available essential TV operations on the front bezel. The remote can also control other devices connected to the display via HDMI CEC.
In addition to its advanced display technology, the LT-42WX70 offers JVC’s groundbreaking design. Slim and lightweight, the monitor features a stylish black leather-like texture on its slim bezel with the flat rear panel finished in metallic silver without any visible screws*2 to create an attractive design that blends with any interior. The monitor is extremely light, which is supported by an elegant, curved pedestal-style stand with 3-step height adjustment, enhancing placement possibilities, and draws very little power when operating.
The professional-studio performance high-definition still images and video reproduction the LT-42WX70 offers are as genuine as an art piece in a gallery or museum. The superlative performance offered by the LT-42WX70 makes it everything that a TV should be, and also more than anything a TV could ever be.
