 is equivalent to the HDTV letterbox format, a 16:9 aspect ratio for panoramic viewing. This standard defines a display area that is almost twice as wide as it is high. The HDTV wide aspect ratio provides the industry's widest viewing field and is ergonomically better for human vision by aiding in reducing eye strain and fatigue. With the monitor's ultra-wide display area, the user has more room -- one-and-a-half times more than that of a standard 21-inch monitor -- to display more information, more windows, and more menus. "We are continually working to enhance the user's 3D graphics experience and the workstation environment," said Pesto. "Users can increase their productivity by viewing the details in their models and backgrounds enlarged on the screen while enjoying a richer visual experience."

Intergraph's 28-inch HDTV-format monitor is available immediately for Intergraph TDZ workstations and is priced at $9,995. For more information, call Intergraph at 800-763-0242 or visit the Intergraph Web site at http://www.intergraph.com/ics .
