Components: Large LCD Wireless Monitors Provide Full XGA Resolution

Aug. 23, 2004

A wireless-LCD-monitor series now includes diagonal sizes of 15, 20, 30, and 40 in. with full XGA resolution (1024 by 768 pixels at 30 frames/s). With these monitors, users can replace the cables of a PC keyboard, video, and mouse through a wireless link. Consequently, the monitors are well suited for industrial and medical applications. Also, these plug-and-play monitors feature an embedded receiver. The keyboard, mouse, and audio speakers are attached to this receiver. The monitors require no new operating system, drivers, or application software. Wireless demonstration products are available, starting at $1500 each. Touchsreen and USB connectivity features are planned for the future.
