Sun's new flat panel monitor is designed to save desktop real estate and provide a brighter, clearer and sharper screen image. For those 'high-use' computer users, the flat panel monitor's brighter screen and wider angle boost efficiency as users can absorb more information from their screens without fatigue. For customers who prefer traditional monitors, Sun is also introducing new CRT display solutions that feature the latest 'flat screen' Trinitron technology, which minimizes geometric distortion and reduces reflective glare while providing outstanding full-screen images.

Flat panel displays appeal to a growing number of Sun's technical customers, who appreciate the lightweight, full-performance, high-quality desktop monitors that display clearer, brighter images.

The innovative design of the displays allows for a wide viewing angle that allows users to view larger models on their screens. These monitors are used in non-traditional situations, as the design allows for more flexible work areas, layouts and configurations, including the option of removing the monitor from its base and hanging it from a wall. Military and defense customers use flat panel monitors in naval, avionics or military ground vehicles, for example. Publishers, who often have multiple monitors on their desktops, benefit from the space-saving innovation and excellent picture quality of the flat panel displays.

Dual Video Inputs

Sun's high-quality 18" flat panel monitor features dual video inputs that allow users to simultaneously connect the monitor to two separate Sun workstations or PCs. Financial traders, for example, are able to simply flip a switch on the flat panel monitor to move between a spreadsheet on a PC and mission-critical financial analysis software running on a Sun Ultra workstation.

A Visible Improvement

Sun's flat panel monitors improve productivity in the workplace with brighter screens and better visual quality, reducing fatigue associated with looking at computer screens. Sun's product offers a true 8-bit panel with 16.7 million colors and excellent image rendition.

Breakthrough "Flat Screen" Technology

The breakthrough flat screen CRT Trinitron technology used in Sun's new 19" and 21" monitors delivers sharp, detailed color images consistently across the entire screen, even in the corners. Designed with graphics professionals, desktop publishers and computer-aided design (CAD) professionals in mind, the flat screen Trinitron monitors offer a new level of image clarity, color and brightness uniformity. These new monitors also feature dual input controls, and the six-language digital on-screen-display provides image zoom, color, temperature selection, control locks and landing correction for outstanding color uniformity.

Sun's Family of Monitors

Rounding out its family of affordable monitor options, Sun also announced an aggressive price cut of 19 percent on its existing 17" monitor. With prices starting at $390, Sun offers its customers a full range of high-quality, competitively-priced performance monitors.

Xinerama Support

In addition to new monitor options, Sun enhances the image viewing experience with new features in Solaris 7, 11/99. One such feature is Xinerama support, which allows users to view entire simulations, spreadsheets or stock market analyses without having to scroll through the application. This technology provides "panoramic" viewing of one screen image which can be displayed across up to 12 monitors. This flexible screen viewing option is ideal for oil & gas, mechanical CAD, electronic design automation (EDA), financial traders and design simulators who benefit from large, detailed application viewing.

Pricing

Sun's 18" flat panel monitor is available for $3,300. The flat screen Trinitron monitors begin at $650. Sun's 17" CRT color monitor is now available for just $390.
