The FPM-530-FO performs complete electro-optical characterization on LCD, Plasma Display Panel (PDP), and Rear Projection (DLP, LCOS, LCD) big screen TVs up to 85 inches in diagonal. The system includes high performance optical sensors that perform all photometric, colorimetric, and temporal measurements.

Westar's Phil Downen explains, "Our new FPM-530-FO System is the final answer to the TV performance question. We've built on our strengths in display measurement, software integration, and optical instrumentation to offer a turn-key technology-independent TV test system. The sensor suite includes a highly accurate and fast spectroradiometer for all the luminance and chromaticity measurements that are at the heart of TV performance characterization. In addition, our TRD-100A smart sensor provides the linearity and sensitivity needed for precision gray level response time and flicker measurements. Of course, the system is built upon Westar's industry standard ViewPoint™ software architecture and is capable of all VESA FPDM tests including ambient contrast ratio. This system really has it all."

The FPM-530-FO is the reference system used for all of DisplaySearch's TV Performance Reports and is gaining popularity among many TV OEMs and module and component manufacturers.

The system will be demonstrated on the Westar island at the SID '05 show in Boston 24~26 May.
