New OR Medical Monitors Announced

Two new industry-first 55-inch and 31-inch high-definition 4K and 3D medical monitors intended for use by surgical teams have been launched.

The monitors combine 4K, and 3D imaging technologies, and provide enhanced resolution, increased depth of field, and high brightness.


The Sony (Tokyo, Japan) 55-inch LMD-X550MT and 31-inch LMD-X310MT surgical monitors are designed for use in operating rooms and for training, with surgical microscopes and with new 4K or 3D endoscopes that being launched. Two dimensional and 3D images are displayed as 4K or High Definition (HD) resolution images for improved contrast, enhanced clarity, and accurate color reproduction. The monitors are designed with a narrow bezel and a slender chassis and offer the same features as other Sony medical monitors.

The monitors can combine, and reproduce full HD resolution of both left and right channels of the dual-channel 3D HD video format used by many 3D endoscopes. Conventional 3D monitors discard half of the vertical resolution because they use an HD panel. The new monitors comply with the European Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC as amended by 2007/47/EC.

John Herman, European product marketing manager, Sony Professional Solutions Europe, said, “With the introduction of these monitors, Sony has combined the best of both 4K and 3D worlds, namely - improved surgical vision through higher resolution, enhanced identification of tissue surface structure from increased brightness and color reproduction and improvements in surgical accuracy with increased depth perception from 3D visualization.”
