Xerox Corporation, a well-known company in the field of printing and copying solutions, presents now its computer displays. Xerox displays are produced by the PTI (Proview Technologies Inc) under the license of Xerox Corporation. The whole line consists of four LCD displays series and the CRT Monitors: 3-Series LCD Monitor available in sizes: 15", 17" (models XL350, XL370) 5-Series LCD Monitor available in sizes: 15", 17", 19" (models XL552D, XL572D, XL 492D) 7-Series LCD Monitor available in sizes: 15", 17", 19" (models XL 755D, XL775D, XL795D) XG Series LCD Monitor available in sizes: 17", 19" (models XG 71D, XG 91D) XC Series CRT Monitor available in size: 17" Speaking about the technical features of Xerox monitors, it should be noted that developers position these monitors as budget class products, thus they do not possess some tomorrow's features and characteristics. Actually, Xerox presents qualitative, reliable monitors for the moderate prices, thus making them attractive for home and office use. LCD monitor by Xerox, with its ultra thin design, will be a good choice for those applications, where space saving feature is crucial. Besides, the LCD Xerox monitors are equipped with wall-mounting technology, which also belongs to the advantages of displays, especially for models 19'' wide. All monitors support plug-and-play standard, which is typical for modern periphery equipment. Digital Video Interface is used to connect the monitor to personal computer.
To characterize Xerox LCD monitors let us pay attention at their response time, contrast ratio and viewing angle. These are the main showings that user can feel himself while working with LCD display. Response time is crucial for dynamic video and gaming applications. When this index is too big, user may feel certain inconveniences while watching a movie or playing a modern game. The quickly changed images may be displayed with different distortions on monitors with too big response time. Xerox monitors provide response time at level 25/30 milliseconds in 3- and 5- models and 16ms in 7- and XG-series. According to typical for the time being applications and tasks, it is recommended to use monitors with at least 16 ms response time. Contrast ratio provides sharp and clear-cut image on the monitor. This index increases in Xerox displays according to the series status. The lowest contrast ratio has 3-and 5-series, offering 300/350:1 showings, and the highest ratio is observed in 7- and XG-series at level 500/800:1. It can be useful for users to know that contrast ratio especially affects the image quality in dark surroundings. For example, viewing movie at night on the monitor with low contrast ratio can be less comfortable than during the day. Finally, some words about horizontal viewing angles of Xerox monitors. This feature means that user can view the display not only sitting strictly in front of the monitor, but also from certain angle with the same image quality. Average viewing angle for Xerox displays is 140 degrees, which is quite enough for comfortable using the LCD. CRT Xerox Monitor features are as following:
