It took Sony just two months to update its TRIMASTER series of (pretty expensive) OLED monitors, and the two new professional displays the company announced [JP] today (a 25-inch model for $7,400 and a 17-incher for $4,900) are more affordable than the first ones (which went for $16,000 and $29,000 respectively).

Here are the main specs:

  • full HD resolution, “Super Top Emission” OLED screen with Sony’s 10-bit panel driver
  • interfaces: 2x 3G-SDI, HDMI, composite, audio, Ethernet
  • aluminum body
  • 89 degrees viewing angle
  • a 1W mono speaker

This is the smaller model, the PVM-1741 (the 25-incher, the PVM-2541 is picture above):

Mainly targeting TV, advertising and movie production companies, Sony plans to roll out both models in the second half of this year.
