Sony PVMA170 17" Professional OLED Production Monitor (Refurbished, Generic Packaging)

Display Features

Accurate Black Reproduction

Unlike many alternative display technologies, the OLED panel used in the PVMA170 features the ability to turn each pixel completely off, so no luminance signal is added to parts of the image recorded as black

Super Top Emission Technology

Designed to provide a wide color gamut with accurate color reproduction throughout the luminance range of the picture

Faster Response Time than LCD Panels

The gray-to-gray switching of the PVMA170 is faster than comparable LCD-based displays. This helps eliminate ghosting, motion blur (that is not naturally part of the scene), and other artifacts that reduce image quality

Wide Angle of View

Provides better off-axis viewing than many LCD-based alternatives, allowing users to accurately evaluate the image even if positioned off to the side. It features an 89° viewing angle in all directions, while the contrast ratio remains above 10:1.

Low-Latency Image Processing

The PVMA170's I/P conversion system delivers automatically optimized signal processing per the input signal format, with a latency of less than 0.5 fields. This helps ensure fast-moving images stay in sync with the audio

On-Screen Display (OSD)

Waveform Monitor and Vectorscope

Provides a built-in waveform and vectorscope display so users do not have to rely on dedicated equipment. Both displays can be magnified from 0 to 20% for detailed analysis, and within the waveform display the Line Select feature allows for a specific portion of the image to be isolated. Level meters for two channels of embedded audio may also be displayed alongside the waveform or vectorscope

Focus Assist with Color Peaking

To aid camera focus operation, an aperture level adjustment displays images with sharpened edges (peaking) displayed in user-selectable colors (white, red, green, blue, or yellow), for increased visibility

Audio Level Indicator

Embedded audio levels can be displayed as stereo pairs or individual mono channels. Up to 16 channels can be selected at once

Closed Captions

OSD can display EIA 608 and EIA 708 captions

Additional Displays

Additional OSD features include a tally overlay, video format overlay, and an on-screen menu system

General Features

Emphasis on Portability

The PVMA170 is 40% slimmer than the previous generation and weighs in at 9.3 lb. In addition, a handle is built into the back to simplify transport

Recessed Connector Panel

The connectors do not protrude from the back of the monitor, helping ensure they will not be damaged during transport or if the monitor is laid flat
