Sony no longer markets any CRT BVMs, masked or not. But among their latest (NAB 2010 introduction) HD monitors are the 5:3 (15:9) LMD1530W & LMD1751W; the 8:5 (14.4:9) LMD2030W, LMD2050W, LMD2451TD, & PVML3200; and the 4:3 LMD940W. Incidentally, the LMD2451TD offers a full 1920 pixels horizontally but 1200 lines vertically. And the resolution of their brand new, 16:9 PVM-740 is 960 x 540.

Is the masked 4:3 BVM a current model? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Schubin" <tvmark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <opendtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 11:23 AM Subject: [opendtv] Re: Learning From the Veterans - local news in HDIn fact, some professional 16:9 HDTV monitors (including some Sony BVMs) use 4:3 tubes covered with 16:9 bezels. You may consider Craig's plan to be the same. There is absolutely nothing lost on the sides.TTFN, Mark -----Original Message-----From: Craig Birkmaier <craig@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Apr 29, 2010 1:53 PM To: opendtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [opendtv] Re: Learning From the Veterans - local news in HD At 9:39 AM -0700 4/29/10, Dale Kelly wrote:For example, when watching football, you will not see more of the playing field than the guy watching on the old analog set, *if* you stick with the common sides rule.

Being a fan of Soccer, a game that can not be fully enjoyed if one can not see the movement of player "off the ball', I find that having a full 16:9 image available vastly improves my enjoyment of the game; 4:3 simply doesn't do the trick! DaleDale I am surprised you also misunderstand how common sides works. The HD version is identical to what you now see from 16:9 HD cameras. The SD version has the additional throw away areas - top and bottom, but the 4:3 HD image is resampled to SD resolution. Think of what a 16:9 HD football broadcast would look like if letterboxed on an NTSC TV. Now fill the throw away areas of the NTSC display with what the 4:3 HD camera sees. Remember that the cameraman is framing everything for the 16:9 safe image area - i.e. exactly the same framing as would be used with todays 16:9 HD cameras. Regards Craig Of course somebody - definitely NOT Bert - will want the larger 4:3 HD image to be delivered to next generation 4:3 HDTV displays... ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways:- Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org- By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways:- Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org- By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways:- Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
