Seven Star Works is the name that is now on the booth of TVLogic, as the company was acquired by that Chinese company which changed the name in December 2015. TVLogic is still the brand name that will be used for broadcast monitor products. There were four new products all in the 4K class.
The LUM-240G was shown last year, but is now shipping and is a 24″ unit with UltraHD resolution, 350 cd/m² and contrast of 1,000:1 and 10 bit colour depth.
