PRESS RELEASE
News announcements from Intel Developer Forum, Palm Springs, CA. - August 31, 1999
PRINCETON GRAPHICS ADDS DPP800 TO AWARD-WINNING FAMILY OF DIGITAL FLAT PANEL DISPLAYS
Superior Performance, Latest DFP Technology & USB Capabilities Put New 18.1-Inch Digital Monitor in a League of its Own
INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM, PALM SPRINGS, Calif., August 31, 1999 - Princeton Graphic Systems, Inc., a leading manufacturer of computer and high-definition displays, showcases the newest addition to its line of digital flat panel (DFP) displays - the DPP800 - at the Intel Developer Forum. As the company's first offering in this size category, the new 18.1-inch monitor combines the latest DFP technology with superior image quality and performance into an attractive thin, lightweight design competitively priced at $2,995.
Measuring a mere three inches deep and weighing only 22 pounds, the DPP800 offers a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024, a contrast ratio of 230:1, and a brightness level of 200 cd/m2. In addition, the new unit supports 16.7 million colors and automatically scales images to fill the screen at any resolution, ensuring a superb viewing experience. The monitor also supports Digital Display Working Group's (DDWG) Digital Visual Interface (DVI) specification.
"The DVI specification improves the quality and performance of the PC platform by transitioning the last significant piece of legacy from analog to digital," said Steve Spina, strategic initiatives manager for Intel Corporation and administrator of the DDWG. "DVI products will offer users a more enhanced visual computing experience."
"As the first manufacturer to commercially offer a digital flat panel display, Princeton has always been at the forefront of the LCD industry," said Tom Paterniti, vice president of product marketing. "The DPP800 is another example of our commitment to product excellence. In addition to the obvious physical advantages of the DPP800, users will enjoy definitively sharper image quality, control and performance. Users will also benefit from the large screen size and lack of electromagnetic emissions, resulting in reduced eye strain and increased productivity."
Using a 20-pin connector, a new digital video interface recently approved by VESA® which utilizes PanelLinkTM (or TDMS), the DPP800 seamlessly displays images without the signal impurities caused by the traditional conversion process from digital to analog to digital. By using PanelLink, display signals are directly and precisely transmitted to the panel, providing users with crystal-clear, vibrant, polished images.
In addition, the DPP800 incorporates a USB-powered hub, providing users with fast and easy connectivity to additional USB-compliant peripherals, such as a scanner, printer or digital camera.
Providing installation flexibility, the DPP800 is compliant with VESA's Flat Panel Monitor Physical Mounting Interface Standard, and therefore is compatible with a variety of arm or wall mounting kits. The DPP800 is compatible with IBM®, UNIX®, Apple® Macintosh®, Power Macintosh®, Windows® 95, and high-resolution third-party graphics standards and meets all major emission and power management standards, including TCO 99, MPR-II, EPA Energy StarTM, DPMSTM, and NUTEKTM. The monitor is backed by a three-year parts and labor warranty, a three-year backlight warranty, and a one-year 48-hour advance replacement warranty.
