Toshiba Sets the Pace for Technology Innovation with Industry-Leading All Digital Flat Panel LCD Monitor Business Wire - June 08, 1998 05:20 %TOSHIBA-AMER-INFO-SYS %CALIFORNIA %COMPUTERS %ELECTRONICS %COMED %PRODUCT V%BW P%BW Jump to first matched term IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 1998-- Toshiba's TekBright(TM) 50D offers business users unparalleled display quality in a flexible design Editor's Summary: - Toshiba's TekBright 50D, the first flat panel LCD addition to the TekBright monitor line, delivers digital display technology with exceptional text quality and crisp, clear graphics. - The TekBright 50D's 15-inch display is easily adjustable for viewing documents in landscape or portrait mode. - The TekBright 50D features complete multimedia functionality with integrated speakers, built-in microphone and microphone input jack and output as well as headphone output jack. - The TekBright 50D is available now at an estimated single unit price of $1,599. Continually providing innovative technology solutions to business customers, the Computer Systems Division (CSD) of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. (TAIS) today announced the TekBright 50D, the company's first flat panel LCD monitor. Combining a 15-inch, portrait or landscape adjustable screen with digital display technology, the TekBright 50D offers picture-perfect graphics and superior text quality for a variety of business users. "Our business customers rely on Toshiba for innovative computing solutions," said Jeffrey Friederichs, vice president of marketing for Toshiba's Computer Systems Division. "Our new TekBright 50D is another example of Toshiba's technology leadership at work. With a pure digital display, customers receive a high quality flat panel monitor for the clearest viewing possible in a flexible, easy-to-use design." Flexible configuration for a variety of customers The TekBright 50D is ideal for users in space-constrained environments such as financial institutions, healthcare facilities, airline reservationists and call centers. The TekBright 50D's sleek design is also well-suited for high-profile areas and offices where image is paramount. Customers can benefit from the TekBright 50D's small footprint and flexible configurations. For true-to-form viewing capabilities, the monitor is easily adjustable from landscape to portrait mode, an option that allows users to view an 8 1/2-inch x 11-inch document in its entirety when rotated 90 degrees to portrait position. The TekBright 50D's large, 15-inch viewable image provides nearly as much viewing area as traditional 17-inch CRT monitors but occupies approximately 60 percent less desk space. The display was designed for maximum viewing comfort at various angles and also features a tilt function for added flexibility. Breakthrough onscreen performance Setting the TekBright 50D apart from the competition is Toshiba's implementation of digital display technology - providing a crisp, distortion-free image every time. The TekBright 50D connects directly to the included PCI Graphics Adapter driven by an S3 ViRGE/MX digital graphics chip. The monitor's unique digital interface eliminates the analog to digital conversions required in traditional analog-based flat panel LCD displays, resulting in a clear, color-rich image. The TekBright 50D removes the necessity for on-screen display (OSD) controls for pincushioning functions and size adjusting since digital conversion is eliminated. Distortion often found along the edges of traditional displays is automatically removed, resulting in superior image uniformity and text quality. A single brightness control makes simple adjustments a snap. The multimedia-ready TekBright 50D includes two integrated one-watt speakers as well as volume control, microphone and headphone output jacks. The monitor also provides a mute switch for enabling and disabling the speakers Pricing and Availability The TekBright 50D will be available in June with a single-unit estimated street price of $1,599. Toshiba's TekBright monitors are available through Toshiba's reseller, mail order and retail partners.
