Convergent
Communicacations has introduced its Easel range of LCD monitors. The
monitors are available in two sizes–12.1" (X-TAL6200) and 15.1"
(X-TAL 6220). These flat-screen color monitors employ the TFT (Thin Film
Transistor) technology.
The model X-TAL6220
(15.1") lets you rotate and alternate the screen from portrait to
landscape views. With the help of the accompanying Pivot software, the image
on the screen can also be rotated. It comes with built-in stereo-speakers
(output 1W x 2). All you need to do is attach a cable from the monitor to a
sound card and enjoy the music. The monitor also has speaker in and out
ports for external speakers.
The 12.1" supports a
maximum resolution of 800x600 pixels at a refresh rate of 60 Hz, while the
15.1" supports a maximum resolution of 1,024x 768 pixels at a refresh
rate of 75 Hz. Both monitors give flicker-free displays, thereby reducing
eyestrain. Setting up the monitors is a breeze.
As they use LCD technology,
both monitors consume less energy compared to standard CRT displays. They’re
also very compact and lightweight, weighing about 3 kg and 6.7 kg
respectively.
