Sony introduces the LMD-32M1MD Advanced 4K Mini-LED Medical Monitor

Sony has announced the launch of its latest 4K Mini-LED monitor, the LMD-32M1MD, designed to deliver an unparalleled viewing experience in medical environments. With its advanced features and superior picture quality, the LMD-32M1MD sets a new standard for clarity and precision.

High Picture Quality with Advanced Local Dimming Technology

The LMD-32M1MD features Sony’s advanced Local Dimming Technology, Backlight Master Drive, for unrivalled precision. This technology precisely controls the panel backlight’s dense array of mini-LEDs, ensuring stunning brightness and high contrast. By independently controlling the LED backlighting sources in light and dark zones of the image, the LMD-32M1MD achieves significantly improved black reproduction and a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. With a peak brightness exceeding 1,850 cd/m², the monitor delivers exceptional visual detail and clarity.

Minimised Screen Reflection for Optimal Viewing

In brightly lit operating rooms, the LMD-32M1MD minimises screen reflection to provide surgeons with a clearer view. Sony’s unique Anti-Reflection Technology combines two reflection suppression technologies: Low Reflection and Anti-Glare surface treatment. This combination reduces the amount of reflected light and diffuses incoming light, resulting in extremely high contrast images with lifelike colour reproduction.

Wide Colour Gamut for Realistic Visualisation

Equipped with LCD and signal processing technology conforming to ITU-R recommendation BT.2020, the LMD-32M1MD achieves a wide colour gamut. This enables superior colour reproduction, resulting in more realistic visualisation of surgical images. This emphasis on visual quality makes the LMD-32M1MD the ideal candidate for all medical interventions, from complex invasive procedures to more routine checkups.

Fan-less Operation and Intuitive Controls for a Streamlined User Experience

The LMD-32M1MD is designed with user-friendliness and healthcare applications in mind. Its impressive fan-less design reduces unwanted interference with ventilation airflow around the monitor.

Versatile Connectivity and Installation-Friendly Design

The LMD-32M1MD offers a comprehensive array of input/output connectors, including 12G-SDI, HDMI, and Display Port, ensuring versatile connectivity for diverse modalities and equipment.

Auto Panel Brightness Adjustment

The integrated light sensor automatically adjusts brightness to match the ambient lighting conditions, making the LMD-32M1MD particularly well suited for procedures performed in low-light environments, such as ICG navigation surgery.

Suitable Design for Medical Facilities

The monitor’s slim bezel and rounded corners simplify integration in the operating room, while the smooth surface and streamlined back shape make it easy to wipe down for cleanliness. The monitor’s resistance to liquid ingress and solid particles, with IP45 (front) and IP32 (rear) dustproof and splash proof ratings further enhance its suitability for medical facilities.

Intuitive Navigation and Custom Buttons

The monitor’s LED backlighting selectively illuminates active control buttons on the front panel, offering clear guidance to clinical staff even in dark environments. Additionally, frequently used functions can be assigned to three custom buttons on the front panel, allowing for quick access and enhanced workflow efficiency.

Environmentally Conscious Efforts

The packaging for the LMD-32M1MD uses moulded pulp packaging materials, eliminating the use of expanded polystyrene foam. The monitor is also supplied in a covered non-woven bag made mainly from plant cellulose, reducing the amount of virgin plastic used for packaging by approximately 86% when compared to the previous packaging that would have been used.

The LMD-32M1MD[3] is now available for purchase in Asia Pacific from April 2025 onwards. For more information on Sony’s professional display technologies, please visit https://pro.sony/en_SG/products/medical-monitors.
