Outstanding visual reproduction

High resolution
Clear Bright LCD

The new high-resolution 15˝ SXGA+
screen delivers images as bright as on
high-performance LCD television
screens, thanks to dual backlights, dual
inverters and more efficient heat
release. Black is blacker and images
are more vivid, with higher contrast and
less reflection due to an effective glare
filter and AR (Anti Reflection) coating.

The glare filter curbs light diffusion without
dimming brightness, realising blacker
blacks and more vivid colours. An AR
coating also minimises annoying reflection
from external light sources, resulting in an
easier to view display.
