picture and video quality. Formac gallery=81 1740, the latest product in<br />
Formac's award-winning form + function=81 line, is designed for profession=<br />
al<br />
applications, such as desktop-publishing, CAD/CAM, video editing as well as<br />
data-intensive business applications and is compatible with Macintosh<br />
computers with ADC interface.</p>
<p>"Engineering advanced graphic and visualization solutions for the Macintosh<br />
has been Formac's strength for more than 14 years", said Oliver Bergmann,<br />
Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and President of Formac Inc. "Formac<br />
gallery not only sets new standards with regard to industrial design but<br />
also incorporates Formac's self-developed and proprietary graphics<br />
technology. The revolutionary concept of the gallery display provides a<br />
solid foundation to distinguish it from competitive products and will<br />
further sustain and extend Formac's market-leadership in Europe. And it is<br />
the perfect occasion to introduce our award-winning displays to the US<br />
market."</p>
<p>"As the technology leader for high-performance display technology, Fujitsu<br />
is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Formac." said<br />
Brendan Mc Kearney, Director, Business Unit Displays of Fujitsu<br />
Microelectronics Europe GmbH "The cooperation, which combines the superior<br />
performance of Fujitsu's LCD technology with Formac's excellent reputation<br />
in providing advanced visualization solutions, marks a new era in flat<br />
panel solutions, and provides Macintosh users with an unrivaled viewing<br />
experience."</p>
<p>Combining the technical superiority of Fujitsu's MVA technology with the<br />
advantages of a true digital interface (ADC) Formac gallery=81 1740<br />
supercedes comparable LCDs as well as CRT displays in picture and video<br />
quality. The active matrix LCD yields higher brightness (220 cd/m2),<br />
increased contrast (400:1), and provides a fine dot pitch of 0.27 mm,<br />
resulting in sharp, brilliant and crystal-clear images. The<br />
industry-leading pixel response time (10-25ms) predestines Formac gallery<br />
for professional video work, allowing full-motion digital video playback<br />
with fluid motions and eliminating the ghosting effect often found on flat<br />
panel displays. The ultra-wide viewing angle allows users to view crystal<br />
clear images with accurate colors from a viewing angle of up to 160 degrees<br />
- from sides, top or bottom. Formac gallery's=81 true 24-bit technology<br />
delivers a rich palette of 16.7 million vivid colors allowing graphic<br />
artists to professionally match and calibrate colors. To ensure the<br />
highest in LCD quality, Formac's displays undergo an industry-leading<br />
screening process, reducing the allowable number of pixel anomalies below<br />
the one of comparable displays in the market.</p>
<p>Equipped with an Apple Display Connector, Formac gallery=81 is an all-digita=<br />
l<br />
solution, i.e. the display data is supplied digitally from the Macintosh.<br />
Without losing signal quality through analog conversion Formac's LCD<br />
produces crisper images than analog-driven flat panels. The true digital<br />
interface also negates the need for manual adjustments of the image by user<br />
controls such as CRTs require. The advanced LCD technology and constant<br />
light output means that Formac gallery=81 1740 minimizes eyestrain, as it<br />
eliminates flicker and loss of light.</p>
<p>Formac gallery=81 1740 features high quality multiple resolution support a=<br />
nd<br />
a true resolution of 1,280 by 1,024. This is equivalent to the virtual<br />
workspace typically selected on a 21-inch CRT monitor. Compared to a<br />
standard 17-inch LCD Formac's 17.4-inch display increases the virtual<br />
workspace by approximately 5%.</p>
<p>Setting new standards in industrial design Formac gallery=81 1740 combines<br />
technical superiority with beautiful form and well thought-out<br />
functionality. With an ultra-slim desktop footprint Formac gallery=81 1740<br />
occupies a minimum of desktop space. Its functional hinge design allows<br />
users to adjust the viewing angle to their individual preference. Formac<br />
gallery's=81 clear enclosure and its silver-painted bezel makes it a perfect<br />
companion to Apple's latest desktop computers and previous G4 cubes.<br />
Special editions with different bezel-colors will be available at a later<br />
point in time. Formac gallery's=81 ADC connectivity, which combines USB,<br />
power and video in one cable, makes set-up a breeze. Formac gallery=81 offer=<br />
s<br />
an integrated two-port powered USB hub for easy plug-and-play connections<br />
to peripherals.</p>
