Sony rolls out three production LCDs

Sony's unveiled three professional-quality LCDs meant for video production and mastering. First up is the BVM-L420 (pictured), a 1080p LED backlit LCD specifically tweaked for more accurate black levels, meant for preview monitoring in control rooms or production trucks, 1080/24p. Next are two new LCDs in Sony's LUMA line, a 1280x768 17-inch and a 1080p 42-inch model, equipped with all manner of inputs and Sony's ChromaTru color processing for accurate colors. The LMBD-4250W comes in at $7,800, while the 17-inch model has a price TBD before it ships in April. The similarly without-pricetag BVM-L230 is due this summer.

Its also another way of saying it has a display that is 10 times more accurate than consumer models.

"Accurate black levels" and "accurate colors" are contradictory to LCD technology. ;-)
