It has become a bit quiet about OLED lately (apart from the NGP announcement), but today Sony announced [JP] not one but two so-called TRIMASTER EL master monitors with an OLED display. There will be a 25-inch (BVM-E250) and a 17-inch model (BVM-E170), specifically aimed at TV and movie production companies.

Sony says these monitors are based on their XEL-1 OLED mini TV and are the first of their kind.

Here are the main specs for both models:

  • full HD 1080p OLED screen
  • aluminum body
  • Ethernet
  • HDMI, DisplayPort, SD-SDI, 3G-SDI, and HD-SDI ports

Sony will start offering the big model in Japan on May 1 ($29,000) and follow with the smaller one on July 1 ($16,000).
