Sony LMD-32M1MD 32″ 4K 2D Surgical Display

SONY LMD-32M1MD 32″ 4K 2D HDR Surgical Display

New Standard of Brightness and Contrast
The Sony LMD-32M1MD is the first surgical monitor worldwide to achieve VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification (as of January 2025). Its extremely high-peak luminance of 1,850 cd/m² and contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 are achieved by Sony’s advanced Local Dimming Technology (Backlight Master Drive), providing exceptional visual clarity that’s essential for minimal invasive surgery. The unique Anti-Reflection Technology combines Low-Reflection and Anti-Glare surface treatment to minimize on-screen reflections in brightly lit operating rooms.

Experience Exceptional Clarity and Visual Detail
Sony’s advanced Local Dimming Technology (Backlight Master Drive) precisely controls the panel backlight’s dense array of mini LEDs to ensure stunning brightness and high contrast. LED backlighting sources are independently controlled in light and dark zones of the image. This significantly improves black reproduction by turning off LEDs, simultaneously using saved energy to boost peak brightness in highlight areas. This allows the LMD-32M1MD to achieve a peak brightness exceeding 1,850 cd/m², and a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1.

A Wide Color Gamut for Realistic Visualization
The LCD and signal processing technology employed in the LMD-32M1MD achieves a wide color gamut, conforming to ITU-R recommendation BT.2020. This allows for superior color reproduction to achieve more realistic visualization of surgical images.

Clarity in Light and Dark Areas
HDR technology offers surgeons a clearer view by visualizing a wider range of brightness levels within the same scene, minimizing the loss of fine detail in shadowed areas and overexposed highlights. The LMD-32M1MD can reproduce greater details, enhanced by HDR, when receiving and selecting HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) or PQ (Perceptual Quantization) signals.

Minimized Screen Reflection in Brightly Lit Operating Rooms
Sony’s unique Anti-Reflection Technology featured in the LMD-32M1MD combines two reflection suppression technologies. Low Reflection reduces the amount of reflected light and minimizes reflection from external light sources. This is reduced further by an Anti-Glare surface treatment that diffuses incoming light. By creating a slightly rough surface on the display, this Anti-Glare surface maximizes the diffusion of incoming light and minimizes reflections. By combining these advanced surface treatment technologies, the LMD-32M1MD achieves a balance by diffusing incoming light, reducing reflections and minimizing glare – ensuring extremely high-contrast images with lifelike color reproduction.

Fanless Design Minimizes Airflow Disruption
The LMD-32M1MD features a fanless cooling system that significantly minimizes unwanted interference with ventilation airflow around the monitor.

Intuitive Navigation and Custom Buttons
The monitor’s LED backlighting selectively illuminates active control buttons on the front panel, offering clear guidance to clinical staff even in dark environments. In addition, frequently used functions can be assigned to three custom buttons on the front panel, allowing quick access and supporting enhanced workflow efficiency.

Auto Panel Brightness Adjustment to Match Lighting Levels
The LMD-32M1MD is equipped with a built-in light sensor that automatically adjusts panel brightness to match changing ambient lighting conditions in the operating room. This ensures visibility even during procedures such as ICG navigation surgery, where darker room lighting is required.

A Suitable Design for Medical Facilities
The monitor’s smooth surface and streamlined back shape simplify cleaning of the entire monitor. Simple integration in the OR is assisted by the monitor’s slim bezel and rounded corners. The front of the LMD-32M1MD carries a splash-proof and dust-resistant rating of IP45, with an IP32 rating for the entire monitor.

Installation-Friendly Cabling
Two cable access points with integral covers broaden installation options with easy cable management. AC power and HDMI cable holders ensure placement of cables, helping to prevent accidental disconnections.

Versatile Connectivity Options
The LMD-32M1MD offers a comprehensive array of input/output connectors, including 12G-SDI, HDMI and a Display Port. A USB 5V/1.5A (Type C) port provides power to connected external equipment. There’s also a USB (Type A) port that can be used to export/import monitor setting information from one monitor to another via the USB device.

Multi-Image Display (PIP/POP)
The LMD-32M1MD offers a two-screen PIP/POP display function, allowing display of various information on one screen. Each input source can be displayed separately, with individual gamma values assigned.

Optimal Viewing Angles
The displayed image can be rotated 180 degrees or flipped horizontally. This ensures optimal viewing for surgeons and clinical teams in the OR, regardless of the orientation of a connected endoscopic camera.

Simplified Configuration of Multiple Monitors
The USB (Type A) port allows for monitor configuration settings to be stored in an attached USB device. This stored setting information can then be easily applied to other monitors via the USB device.

Environmentally Conscious Efforts

Reduced Plastic Packaging by 86%
The packaging for the LMD-32M1MD eliminates expanded polystyrene foam, replacing it with molded pulp materials. The monitor is also supplied in a covered, non-woven bag made mainly from plant cellulose. This reduces the amount of virgin plastic used for packaging by approximately 86% (compared with the LMD-X3200MD introduced in 2020).

Power Saving
The LMD-32M1MD is equipped with the Sleep Mode function that contributes to more energy-efficient use. When it is set to ON, the monitor enters into Power Saving mode by turning off the backlight if there is no input signal from the selected connector for more than 1 minute.
