Hitachi heeft een nieuwe 19" ErgoFlat CRT met platte beeldbuis aangekondigd. Deze CM771 monitor heeft een diepte van 45 cm met een 0,22m dotpitch en een maximum resolutie van 1600*1200px. De horizontale refreshrate bedraagt 96KHz, wat neer komt op een verticale refresh van 75Hz bij eerder genoemde max resolutie. Dit alles gaat verkocht worden voor een verwachte prijs van 479 dollar, wat met de huidige belachelijk hoge dollarkoers wel weer zal neerkomen op een bedrag in de buurt van de 1400 florijnen:
Hitachi America, Ltd., a subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. today announced the new CM771 CRT monitor - one of the world's first flat-faced Invar Shadow Mask monitors.This revolutionary new 19" (18" viewable) ErgoFlat monitor provides realistic, vibrant images with less distortion and significantly reduced glare. Featuring a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 at a flicker-free 75 Hz, the CM771 also provides a reduced depth of only 17.7 inches that enables this 19" monitor to have the same depth as conventional 17" monitors.
The CM771 has an auto synchronization range of 31-96 kHz, and has a video clock frequency of 203 MHz. This monitor features some major changes to conventional flat-face monitor technology by changing the shape of the deflection yoke. By using a new Rectangular Cone Deflection Yoke, the CM771 is able to eliminate the purity uniformity issues that require multiple circuitry compensation components in flat-faced Aperture Grill monitors. This makes the CM771 user-friendly as it eliminates the need for frequent convergence adjustments that flat-faced Aperture Grill models require.
In addition, Hitachi's new design produces a more efficient beam landing pattern that enables the CM771 to produce high contrast, high brightness images with one of the lowest power consumption rates available for a CRT monitor. More than 10% brighter than the average flat-face CRT, the CM771 also provides a super-fine dot pitch of 0.22mm horizontal and 0.14mm vertical to form one of the crispest, brightest images available. Entering the market with an MSRP of $479.00 the CM771 represents one of the best values on the market today.
The CM771 features Hitachi's EasyMenu on-screen controls with adjustments for color temperature, moire, trapezoid, DMS, pincushion and more. This monitor is also user and environmentally friendly with features such as TCO '99 compliance, EPA energy star approved, and features simple plug-and-play functionality.
