Matrox zal deze maand beginnen met de levering van z'n flat panel add-on, waarmee een OEM G400 in een hand omdraai van een digitaal flat panel poepgat kan worden voorzien:
The Matrox G400 Flat Panel add-on card features Digital Display Working Group’s (DDWG) Digital Visual Interface (DVI) specification. This allows the upgrade card to provide premium image quality, speed and color fidelity by bypassing the graphics card’s digital-to-analog converter and outputting data directly to the digital Flat Panel display. In addition, the Matrox G400 Flat Panel add-on card’s Silicon Image SiI 154 transmitter supports resolutions as high as 1280 x 1024. Priced at $59 ESP, this snap-on card connects easily to the Matrox Feature Connector Port on any Matrox G400 Series graphics card. This add-on does not require a special driver, or BIOS. Its unified drivers incorporate DVI support, meaning that once the DVI monitor is detected, digital output is automatic.The Matrox G400 Flat Panel add-on card will be sold exclusively at Matrox’s online store as of September 1999.
