Sony Stands Out From The Crowd With A Picture Perfect Addition To Its LCD Flat Panel Display Lineup

16-Jun-00

On the heels of its award-winning MultiscanÆ N50 XGA LCD display, Sony announced the Multiscan N50PS, the next model in its LCD computer monitor series. This latest addition incorporates several new style changes and also includes many of the same technologies that originally set apart its predecessor from other manufacturersí LCD monitors. Sonyís second ultra-slim 15-inch (15-inch viewable image size) display again combines Sonyís latest advanced flat panel display technologies into a slender, compact, light and versatile design, offering users high quality performance and an excellent picture, but in an even sleeker package than before. The SDM-N50PS LCD display features a black photo frame cosmetic design, along with picture hook slots built into the back, allowing it to literally be hung flush against a wall like a traditional picture frame, or placed on a desktop using its tilt-adjustable, detachable photo stand - either way taking up precious little desk space. It also offers users portrait and landscape modes for maximum flexibility and image control, and can be hung on any wall or other vertical surface in either a portrait or landscape orientation. ""Our N50PS, or photo stand, LCD display is the best follow up to our original groundbreaking N50 model,"" said Lloyd Klarke, Senior Marketing Manager of Display Products for Sony Electronicsí Personal Network Solutions Company. ""The N50PS design is a one-of-a-kind, extraordinary flat panel display, going a step further in our LCD products by giving users an almost limitless variety of mounting and image display options. This display truly delivers on the promise of flat panel technology - thin, flat, lightweight and futuristic."" The distinctive style of the Multiscan N50PS is accentuated by a specially designed super-slim LCD panel, which measures only one-half-inch at the edge and reduces the weight of the display panel to just over three pounds. Easy to configure, the Multiscan N50PS LCD Flat Panel Display features Sonyís exclusive Advanced Auto ImageSetÆ technology that automatically adjusts phase, pitch and image position, while Advanced Digital FlexResÆ guarantees a crisp, clear image - no matter what the screen resolution. This display is designed for Windows NTÆ, WindowsÆ 2000 and WindowsÆ 98 operating systems, and is also MacintoshÆ compatible. It meets the TCO í95 standard for industry safety certifications, including guidelines for electromagnetic emissions, use of recyclable material and power consumption. The N50PS panel reinforces Sonyís continued departure away from the traditional ""beige box"" concept. Pricing, Availability And Support Sonyís SDM-N50PS LCD computer display will be available in mid-July 2000 for an estimated selling price of $1,499.99. It will be sold through select Sony distributors and resellers nationwide, and features a three-year limited warranty on parts and labor, with a one-year limited warranty on the backlight.
