The
LM-2140W is a 21.5” calibrated professional monitoring solution for general
editing and onset/field applications. The 21.5” LM-2140W and its slightly
larger (23”) sibling the LM-2340W were purpose built as full-featured low cost
monitoring solutions for environments that do not require the performance and color fidelity of FSI’s flagship LM-2461W. While not equipped
with the advanced Color Fidelity Engine found on the LM-2461W these units are
still fully calibrated and will offer sufficient color accuracy for general
color judgment in a wide array of professional monitoring applications.
Additionally, the LM-2140W features the same advanced video processing hardware
found on our top of the line monitors ensuring that practically any broadcast
standard signal, even interlaced or PsF formats, will be displayed accurately.
The
LM-2140W features a full native HD 1920x1080 resolution IPS LCD panel with a
power efficient white LED backlight. Additionally, this unit comes standard
with 3Gbps/HD/SD-SDI, Component, Composite, and DVI-I Inputs for support of
virtually any video format including NTSC/PAL, 4:4:4 signals, 2K, and
1080p50/60 sources. The LM-2140W is also capable of additional Level B 3Gbps
SDI monitoring modes as explained here.
This
unit comes with many standard broadcast monitor features like Blue Only,
MonoChrome, Markers, Safety Areas, & Tally Lights and like all FSI monitors
it also comes standard with advanced features like our 12 Mode Scopes, Focus
Assist, Time Code Display, Freeze Frame
Picture and Picture, Audio Disembedding, and Audio Level Meter features.
The LM-2140W is incredibly well suited as a field monitor thanks to its durable, yet lightweight, aluminum frame and ultra-efficient LED backlight. At just 9 lbs (11.2 lbs with stand) the LM-2140W is not only lighter than most comparably sized professional broadcast monitors, but even weighs several pounds less than the majority of 17" broadcast monitors on the market. Additionally, the LM-2140W consumes a mere 28 Watts of power making it one of the most efficient full-featured native 1920x1080 resolution broadcast monitors available at any size. More importantly, the LM-2140W is available with an optional customized hardshell carrying case that is the same size as the case used for our 17" units. The LM-2140W is also available as part of a complete field package kit that includes a custom carrying bag with integrated hood, VESA to Light/C-Stand adapter, and clear protective screen covers for one low price: LM-2140W Field Package.
Lighter, higher resolution, more power efficient, same hardshell case size...why stick with a 17" unit when you get all of these benefits at the same ultra-competitive price of just $2,495? Just take a look at the table below to see how the LM-2140W stacks up against our 17" LM-1760W. The LM-1760W was already one of the lightest and most power efficient full featured broadcast monitors on the market and now you can get the LM-2140W with all of its benefits for the same exact price.
| Model | LM-1760W | LM-2140W |

Thanks to its standard 100mm VESA mounting holes the LM-2140W can also be rack mounted using our optional VESA Rack Mount Kit (RMK-VESA) or mounted on any variety of other optional VESA mount accessories such as our popular VESA to Light Stand Adapter (MM20) for onset applications or optional articulating arm wall mount (MM-ART-730).
For advanced
color grading environments or other very color-critical workflows FSI highly
recommends our top of the line LM-2461W reference grade monitor, but for
virtually every other general video monitoring application the LM-2140W, and the
slightly larger LM-2340W, are an ideal choice at an unbeatable price. At just
$2,495 with a native 1920x1080 resolution panel, standard 3Gbps SDI, and an
advanced feature set rivaling units costing 10 times as much the LM-2140W sets
a new standard for value in professional video monitoring.
