JVC’s LT-32WX50 Is Insanely Thin, Insanelier Expensive

I’m not sure you could ever call a 32-inch monitor portable, but if you could, the JVC LT-32WX50 fits the bill. Aside from the LCD’s 6.4mm depth, the display weighs but 5.7kg.

And with a 4000:1 contrast ratio along with a 90% Adobe RGB colour gamut, the picture should be pretty great, too, fed into two HDMI inputs along with a VGA if you’d prefer.

Of course, there’s always a catch.

For one, we don’t know the resolution beyond that it’s “exceptionally high”. That could mean 1080p. That could mean 4-bajillion-K. That could mean…you know, it’s not defined. Plus, it’s $US3000 this November. I’m can’t know the precise amount of satisfaction you receive after inviting friends into your office only to turn your monitor on its side so that your guests can pretend to ooh and ahh at your extravagance, but it can’t be better than what $US3000 can buy you in the recreational chemical and escort industries. Trust me.

JVC Announces Super Slim & Light Flat Panel Monitor

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

ATLANTA, September 10, 2009 – JVC today announced a super slim LCD monitor for home theatre 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 colour 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 colour 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 analogue RGB (D-Dub, 15-pin); the display can be controlled externally via RS-232C;

* When measured from the front surface of LCD panel to the rear surface of the cabinet.
The JVC LT-32WX50 will be available in November for less than $US3,000.00.
