Display Technology Manufacturer Emphasizes Quality and Value

While Providing Diverse Marketplaces With Leading-edge Array of

Products

While establishing operations in 1986, visual display technology manufacturer CTX International Inc. continues to carve out an international reputation in the development, manufacture and marketing of state-of-the-art visual display products.

Through its most recent innovations, including the Professional PureFlat Series, Flat Panel Monitor Series and Executive Series of multimedia projectors, the company upholds its tradition of providing the very latest in award-winning, high-quality visual display technology equipment available.

As a subsidiary of Taiwan-based computer industry giant Chuntex Electronics Co. Ltd., CTX International inherits a wealth of dedicated R&D, engineering and manufacturing resources. Access to this impressive array of personnel has acutely assisted the manufacturer in becoming one of the world's top 10 visual display providers.

"Having been developed through extensive R&D and enduring stringent testing standards, CTX products remain as a benchmark for reliable, consistent and affordable products," stated CTX International's President and CEO Thomas Han. "Our three most recent additions: the Professional PureFlat Series, Flat Panel Monitor Series and Executive Series of projectors exemplify our dedication toward manufacturing progressive visual display innovations."

According to international analyst group IDC's Spring Monitor 2000 Survey, U.S. Businesses, the CTX brand name ranked as the third most popular monitor label among employees at large businesses (500+ employees) for home use, second overall among all non-captive monitor brands. In that same survey, the CTX product family tied for second as the predominant CRT provider among mid-sized (100-499) businesses, securing the top spot amid all non-captive monitor manufacturers.

CTX brand name remains as an international leader in visual display technology. These recent development efforts have led to the spawning of a number of cutting-edge CTX product families in 2000. Complementing its existing line of computer display monitors, the company has engineered and developed a pair of unique product families: the Professional PureFlat Series and the Flat Panel Series.

Implementing the vaunted FD Trinitron(R) CRT design technology, the manufacturer's Professional PureFlat Series (PRF Series) provides users with the latest in advanced screen and tube technology. Available in 15-inch, 17-inch, 19-inch and 21-inch formats, these monitors combine premium color saturation with an inherently sharper image. The monitors' superior image quality provides users with a viable tool for a number of content-intensive applications. The monitors have received worldwide acclaim and so impressed domestic industry standard PC World, that the publication named three of the series' monitors (PR705F, PR711F and PR1400F) to their coveted "Top 10" list in 2000.

In addition to their distinctive flat-screen series, the company has also introduced a LCD-based flat panel family of monitors. The Flat Panel Series of LCD monitors present users with a unique ultra-thin LCD panel design -- 1.6-inch deep -- that fully maximizes valuable desk area. The dynamic new space saving monitors are offered in distinctive 15-inch, 17-inch and 18-inch versions. At the core of each monitor is the leading edge active matrix color technology that equips users with the rich and vibrant image clarity vital for graphics creation, desktop publishing, pre-press and imaging uses.

The innovative manufacturer also addresses the vast presentation community via its new trio of Executive Series projectors: the LP-615H, LP-610H and DP-710. All of the products' feather-light dimensions provide end users with travel-friendly projectors bright enough for a lights-on presentation in virtually any environment. Additionally, the Executive Series projectors' sharp resolution, high contrast rates and rich color saturation afford users optimal image quality and viewing comfort.

CTX International's expanding portfolio of products provides the highest-performance and advanced visual display technology solutions currently available. Via their array of products, the manufacturer outfits consumers, professionals and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with viable solutions for a variety of applications.

In addition to its quality products, a premium is also placed on customer support for the wide array of CTX brand products. Domestically, the company is implementing new initiatives including a fully operational in-house call-center as well as a "48-Hour Xchange Program," for its Professional PureFlat Series that provides customers with a new replacement product within two business days.

The progressive visual display provider has established three headquarters around the world. With its primary headquarters located in Taipei, Taiwan, CTX International also has headquarters in the United States of America (City of Industry). With headquarters in Europe, CTX Netherlands B.V., are situated in the Netherlands (EG Sonen Breugal).

Concluded Han: "The unique blend of R&D, dynamic technology and manufacturing excellence that is behind our product family, is integral in our continued pursuit to provide end users with reliable and innovative products that are priced affordably. Because this ideal remains at the center of our company's focus, our nearly two-decade legacy of providing distinctive vision display products to consumers and professionals the world over, is more evident now than ever."
