new ThinkVision monitors in the Middle East
Posted: 1 June 2003
IBM Middle East announced the first in a new line of ThinkVision
monitors, the IBM ThinkVision L200p Monitor — a high-end flat
panel LCD display that simplifies screen adjustments, enables one-button
access to frequently used functions, and provides greater flexibility
in viewing position.
The introduction is part of the company's overall ‘Think’
strategy for customer business advantage.
IBM also announced today two new USB-connected keyboards that recreate
the award-winning IBM ThinkPad notebook touch-and-feel experience
in a stand-alone keyboard.
With the ThinkVision L200p, a 20.1-inch flat panel LCD monitor
running at 1600 x 1200 optimum resolution (UXGA), IBM now offers
unique ThinkVantage Design characteristics including a new on-screen
display function that helps enable more intuitive adjustments; stand
design that provides industry-leading adjustments to maximize viewing
comfort; and new direct access to frequently used monitor functions.
"The new IBM ThinkVision line of monitors, led by the ThinkVision
L200p, is packed with innovative new features that are designed
to provide our customers with outstanding performance, flexibility
and ease-of-use,” said Sameh Farid, regional manager, personal
computing division, IBM Middle East.
“The ThinkVision L200p displays clear, accurate images on
a large 1.9 megapixel screen, while delivering excellent performance
for a variety of graphic and financial applications such as CAD/CAM,
scientific imaging, desktop publishing, and complex spreadsheets.“
The IBM ThinkVision L200p offers 250 cd/m2 (candela per square
meter) brightness, 400:1 contrast ratio and 170-degree horizontal
and vertical viewing angles. Using dual input, the monitor can be
attached to two systems simultaneously, and the monitor offers both
analogue and digital system attachment. Both analogue and digital
cables are provided.
The L200p's ergonomic, cantilever stand (an IBM original design)
appears to make the display float toward the user. While offering
the user smooth and effortless tilt and lift adjustments, the stand
also keeps the base stationary while allowing the monitor to swivel
135 degrees in either direction. The lift function provides infinite
height adjustment within an 80mm vertical range (over 3 inches)
allowing the user to adjust the viewing level for optimal comfort.
For ease of use, the L200p provides convenient direct access buttons
for brightness, automatic image setup and input selection. One press
of the automatic image setup button optimizes the image quality
providing quick and easy monitor setup, while the input selection
allows the user to switch between two system applications at the
touch of a button.
New Keyboards Recreate the ThinkPad Experience
Building on IBM's historic strength in keyboard design, IBM announced
today two new USB keyboards. They include the IBM USB Keyboard with
UltraNav multipointing system and the IBM USB Travel Keyboard with
UltraNav.
The keyboards are designed to give users a choice of how they want
to work — on the road or with a desktop computer — without
giving up the comfort of a ThinkPad keyboard. These new keyboards
provide the user with ThinkPad keyboard flexibility (including UltraNav,
which incorporates TrackPoint and touchpad pointing devices) and
comfort (including tiered key rows, matte key finish, and a wider
space bar).
The IBM USB Keyboard with UltraNav complements a ThinkPad port
replicator or docking station because it is the only external keyboard
that can control ThinkPad features such as ThinkPad speaker volume,
external monitor control, brightness, and system sleep and suspend
(on supported ThinkPad systems).
The IBM USB Travel Keyboard with UltraNav is smaller (no numeric
keypad), lightweight (only 22 mm thick, weighing .53 kg) and includes
its own carrying case.
