Benefits

Wide XGA resolution

Similar to High Definition TV that uses a 16:9 aspect ratio screen size, the PC's equivalent wide aspect ratio consists of several modes one of which is 1280 x 768.

With 1280 x 768 number of pixels, there is 25% more display area than the 1024 x 768 resolution of an XGA display. The increased screen resolution has a direct impact on productivity, because now you can show more of your data, images, spreadsheet with less scrolling.

To take advantage of the wide aspect ratio, look for video cards that supports this resolution.

Built-in TV tuner and multiple video inputs

With the built-in TV tuner, the display doubles as a TV screen. Now you can connect the LCD screen to a standard cable-TV coaxial cable or antenna. Not only can you monitor your PC, you can view video sources from VCR, DVD, NTSC TV or HD TV, and you can switch sources via front panel push buttons or the included remote control.

Response time < 25ms

The response time for LCD is the length of time it takes to turn the pixels on and off. 25ms is roughly 40 frames per second.

When viewing fast moving images such as those in computer animation and games on older LCDs with 30ms and higher response time, the images suffer from blurring due to pixels not capable of turning on and off fast enough. With the RM-WX17T LCD, you get a fast, <25ms, pixel response time. It means you'll notice little blurring during fast-moving video images.

Versatile mounting options

RM-WX17T can be

• rack mounted in standard 19" equipment racks. The front bezel is made of 0.25" thick, heavy duty aluminum with mounting holes. See outline drawing for dimensions.
• wall-, bench top-, swing arm-mounted via rear panel's VESA mounting holes. Both 75mm and 100mm mount patterns are supported.

Edge light type backlight

Backlight systems for LCDs can be divided roughly into two types:

1. directly-under (reflective) systems, and

2. sidelight/edge light (light-guiding plate) types

In the directly-under system a fluorescent lamp is positioned in a cage consisting of a reflective plate and diffusive plate, so that light from the lamp is reflected and scattered. Fluorescent lamp shapes in use include straight tubes, U-shaped and W-shaped lamps. A light curtain and a diffuser are mounted over the lamps to reduce unevenness in brightness. Compared with other methods, the directly under system offers higher brightness.

Sidelight/edge light uses a straight CCFL lamp along one side of the LCD, or two lamps on opposite sides of the LCD, or L-shaped lamps along the opposite corners of the LCD. Edge light units use a reflector and light-guiding plate to direct light from the fluorescent lamp to the screen to evenly disperse light over the LCD. LCD panels using this backlighting technique are usually thinner and have good average brightness. In addition, greater ease in changing the lamp, and lower power consumption are also important features.
