Given ATCO's license agreement with Thomson (RCA), one would think these new PC-TVs...would work great with SFT panels on them.

Will Be Marketed To Commercial Consumers
Business/Technology Editors
WILMINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28, 2000--FOCUS
Enhancements, Inc. (NASDAQ:FCSE) announced today that THOMSON
multimedia's (Paris SICOVAM: 18453) (NYSE:TMS) RCA brand has
incorporated FOCUS' patented FS401 ASIC into a new series of RCA
commercial color TVs that will soon be available. The new televisions
will be completely PC-ready, offering compatibility with all
computers, including high-resolution systems, and will offer new
conveniences and quality in PC-to-TV conversion.
Previous systems required the user to make various menu choices to
size the image to the TV screen. By engineering the FS401 into the new
televisions, Thomson will now be able to manufacture PC-ready sets
that will automatically scale the image to fit the screen perfectly
for every computer type and resolution, offering the user easy options
for commercial use such as presentations, classroom use, and training.
Bill Schillhammer, FOCUS Enhancements' Vice President of OEM
Sales, remarked on the importance of the timing of Thomson's selection
of the FOCUS ASIC. "With the FS401, THOMSON is assured of total
computer compatibility in important areas as diverse as classroom
training and corporate conference room use. We're delighted that
THOMSON has recognized the quality and cost-effectiveness of the
FS401."

electronics group, has four principal activities: Displays and
Components, Consumer Products, New Media Services, and Patents and
Licensing. The group engineers, manufactures, and markets display
components and consumer products such as televisions, VCRs,
