32-inch LED backlit monitor measures just ¼-inch deep

ATLANTA, September 10, 2009 – JVC today announced a super slim LCD monitor for home theater use that measures a mere ¼-inch (6.4mm) deep across most of the panel and weighs just 12.5 pounds (5.7kg). The new 32-inch class LT-32WX50 will be available in the U.S. in November.

The new monitor’s super slim profile is made possible by the use of JVC’s edge LED backlighting system. It offers a 4000:1 contrast ratio and wide color gamut for exceptionally high resolution of both video and still images.

The monitor’s shallow depth makes it ideal for consumers who want the design flexibility such a slim design allows. It also lends itself to a variety of commercial applications. Another attribute is that fewer material resources are used in making the monitor, reducing the product’s environmental impact.

Key features of the LT-32WX50 are:

Taking advantage of JVC’s unique LCD panel edged-light LED backlight system, the LT-32WX50 is stunningly thin – just 1/4-inch* (6.4mm) deep at its thinnest point, with a slim module inset along the bottom third that houses the monitor’s inputs and other connections;

Six picture settings: home, retail, movie, monitor, SLR photo mode, game;

It covers a wide color gamut – 100 percent of sRGB and 90 percent of Adobe RGB;

It uses approximately 50 percent fewer material resources and eliminates the use of mercury;

JVC’s high definition picture engine is designed for reproducing both video and still images;

It includes two HDMI connections along with analog RGB (D-Dub, 15-pin); the display can be controlled externally via RS-232C;
