The Multiscan L181A—with its spacious 18.1"
LCD panel—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-L181A will produce 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 L181A a
greater level of flexibility on the desktop.
Just over 8" deep and under 20 lbs., the
CPD-L181A 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-L181A 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.
