New Flat Panels from Samsung

Ever wish your desktop computing experience was as smooth as cruising in a Porsche? Samsung's two new dual digital and analog flat-panel monitors -- the 15” SyncMaster 151P and 17” 171P -- feature a design by F.A. Porsche.The new P series feature a built-in swivel base design so the display can be rotated 360° for cross-desk viewing. Both the SyncMaster 151P and 171P offer a clean rear cabinet design with input cables routed though the monitor stand instead of the back of the monitor allowing for additional motion of the screen.

The SyncMaster 151P and 171P are Pivot Enabled and come with a swivel base for instant switching between portrait and landscape viewing. With Pivot, users have full-page viewing capabilities of 8-1/2 x 11 or A4 documents without having to scroll. In addition, both displays are height adjustable, allowing the user to move the screen up or down to best suit individual viewing preferences.

The new P series offers users the option of using either a digital or analog interface for viewing images and text. The Digital Video Interface (DVI) ensures a sharper, cleaner image and a more accurate representation of the original video source. Since video starts out digital in a PC graphics card, the digital output is directly interfaced to the digital input of the LCD panel and always provides the optimum quality image. In addition, no end-user adjustments are required with a digital display, even when randomly changing resolutions.

When used with an analog input, both monitors offers a one-button auto calibration system for greater control over the on-screen image allowing for quick proportioning of screen geometry, contrast, brightness and clock-phase. The On Screen Display system features a comprehensive menu of controls, including auto adjustment, color and image size.

The SyncMaster 171P features Patterned Vertical Alignment (PVA), a Samsung patented technology, which incorporates the latest advancements in liquid cell structure that improve the monitor’s four major viewing criteria, including viewing angle, brightness, contrast and response time. The monitor sports an extra-wide 170° viewing angle, an extremely fast response time of less than 25 milliseconds, contrast ratio of 400:1 and offers a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024. The SyncMaster 151P has a contrast ratio of 350:1 for high brightness and also features a response time of less than 25 milliseconds. The monitor has a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768.

Samsung’s latest monitors feature a four-stage (On, Stand-by, Suspend, Off) power management system that complies with the VESA DPMS, NUTEK and Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star standards. Both displays also meet the stringent MPR-II and TCO-99 low radiation standards.

Samsung’s new P series monitors have built-in Plug and Play capability that conforms to the Video Electronics Standards Association's (VESA) Display Data Channel (DDC) Type 1/2B standards. When used with the appropriate hardware and software, Plug and Play automatically configures the monitor with the host computer and selects the optimum resolution and refresh rates to achieve crisp detail, bright colors and razor sharp images.

All SyncMaster displays are backed by Samsung's three-year parts, labor and backlight warranty as well as live, toll-free technical support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. www.samsungusa.com/monitor.
