Multiscan®Computer Display

CPD-L181

Large, high-resolution LCD display offers superior image performance and technology
in a compact, lightweight, lower power design.

The Multiscan L181—with its spacious 18.1"
LCD panel (18.1" VIS)—has everything users
want in a large CRT-type display, without the
footprint. Its TFT active matrix LCD screen
delivers incredibly sharp images with an
extremely wide viewing angle…all in an elegant,
lightweight design.

Using Digital Multiscan and Digital FlexRes

™

technologies, the CPD-L181 produces crisp,
clear, full-screen images in a variety of
resolutions—up to 1280 x 1024 at 85 Hz—
without the jagged appearance common when
using an LCD panel outside its native resolution.
These unique, Sony technologies give the L181
a greater level of flexibility on the desktop.

Just over 8" deep and under 20 lbs., the
CPD-L181 requires a fraction of the desk space
normally associated with 18.1 inches of
viewable image. And, if more room is required,
the display’s tilt base can be removed easily for
arm or wall mounting.

The CPD-L181 is also easy to configure. Using
the Auto ImageSet feature, set image position,
phase and pitch with the touch of a single
button, saving time and letting users quickly take
advantage of all this unique display has to offer.
