An Array of Benefits NEC Technologies' exclusive LCD technologies offer advantages including: -- XtraView Technology NEC Technologies' exclusive XtraView technology provides a full 160-degree conical viewing angle, versus 60 degrees horizontally and 40 degrees vertically in typical LCD monitors. It eliminates the off-angle color shift and reduced brightness common to other LCD monitors. -- Legendary Ease-of-use and Convenience The MultiSync LCD Series monitors use NEC's award-wining, multilingual OSM OSM Oregon Steel Mills, Inc. OSM Openstreetmap (free editable online world map) OSM Office of Surface Mining (US government) OSM Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal (On-Screen Manager) controls for simple monitor configuration and color calibration. They are compatible with virtually any VESA-standard output signal (Macintosh(R) and PC) and those from Sun, Silicon Graphics and other workstations. -- Remarkable Image Quality The MultiSync LCD Series monitors provide bright, vivid images with virtually no image flicker. They carry an analog signal throughout, eliminating image degradation and delivering breathtaking colors. Other LCD monitors use only digital signals, resulting in a reduced palate size and less color accuracy due to dithering Simulating more colors and shades in a palette. In a monochrome system that displays or prints only black and white, shades of grays can be simulated by creating varying patterns of black dots. This is how halftones are created in a monochrome printer. . -- Automatic Compliance MultiSync LCD Series monitors easily surpass virtually every stringent regulatory specification including EPA EPA eicosapentaenoic acid.

The MultiSync LCD2000 monitor The largest LCD monitor currently available, the 20.1-inch MultiSync LCD2000 provides breathtaking image quality. The monitor's exceptionally thin, lightweight design and use of XtraView technology make it especially well-suited for the financial, medical, manufacturing and transportation markets. Its depth, a mere 8.7 inches, makes it possible to reclaim valuable desktop space. Low electromagnetic emissions allow for positioning near sensitive instruments, while low heat production can lead to decreased cooling costs. The MultiSync LCD400 and MultiSync LCD400V monitors The MultiSync LCD400 and the MultiSync LCD400V monitors offer 14.1-inch viewable image sizes. Native (optimal) resolution for the MultiSync LCD400 and the MultiSync LCD400V monitors is 1024 x 768. Both boast an amazing 6.6-inch total depth, making them well suited for any environment with space and weight constraints.
