<Flat panel technology> Introducing the 1st digitial flat panel display. VIEWSONIC: VIEWSONIC LAUNCHES HIGH-PERFORMANCE MULTIMEDIA VPD150 FEB 24, 1999, M2 Communications - ViewSonic has signalled the beginning of a technology revolution in monitor design with the introduction of their first digital flat panel display - the VPD150. Measuring only three inches in depth and weighing a mere 5.8kg, this 15-inch LCD display supports the new digital standard developed by the Digital Flat Panel (DFP) group. The monitor also boasts a pivot feature, which permits the screen to be viewed in either portrait or landscape mode. Promoting a swift transition from analogue to digital technology, the DFP initiative is supported by many popular computer manufacturers including Dell@, Compaq and Hewlett Packard. ViewSonic has developed the VPD 150 to provide consumers with a high- performance, feature-packed display monitor, which supports this standard. In addition, the VPD150 provides a pivot function with its PerfectPortrait software, which ensures maximum display versatility. In portrait mode, it is ideal for legal documents or word processing, whilst landscape mode displays graphics, spreadsheets and other applications. The VPD150 does not encounter the signal impurities or degraded image quality suffered by the traditional analogue to digital conversion process, which most LCD monitors currently utilise. Using a digital interface, the display signals are transmitted directly to the panel in precise form ensuring clearer, brighter and sharper images. For convenience, the VPD 150 comes bundled with a DFP compliant digital graphics card - the ATI Xpert-LCD card. The monitor produces vivid screen images at a maximum resolution of 1, 024x768, sports 200-nits brightness rating and offers a 140' horizontal viewing angle. The VPD150, uses only 40watts of power, making it ideal for medical, corporate, government and financial environments where energy efficiency is essential. Bharat Kumar, ViewSonic's European Marketing Manager, said: "Just as music and television has gone digital to provide users with better quality audio and video, LCD display technology from ViewSonic now offers the same benefits. "Following the advancement of DFP and ViewSonic's on-going commitment to providing the latest display technology, we're pleased to be able to offer consumers the digital VPD 150. As we move towards the millennium digital display devices will be the preferred choice." The estimated street price (ESP) for the ViewSonic VPD150 is just GBP 765 excluding VAT. The VPD 150 is backed by a three-year Express Exchange, 24 hour, on site, swap-out warranty.
