It provides intuitive control with 1024 x 600 image quality to keep your images sharp, perfectly framed, and always in focus. With its dual configuration and compact 4RU size, the RM7X is ideal for both studio applications and on-location live switching events.
Regular LCDs
Regular LCD monitors are backlit using a cathode fluorescent lamp. They emit a blanket of light across the screen. An LCD is just a massive screen of tiny doors that open and close to create an image. When trying to show black, these doors close, but the fluorescent backlight is so strong it will inevitably leak through the closed doors, resulting in more of a glowy charcoal instead of true black.
Enter the LED
Instead of having one big fluorescent light shining up through all of the LCD pixels, you have arrays of LEDs that shine through smaller portions of the LCD screen, leaving other portions in the dark. The result is a crisp, clear image with true blacks and better contrast--which is why LED backlighting is standard on all of the VX monitors.
