- screen performance at a competitive price. With an Apple
- price of $1,069 (U.S.), the Apple Multiple Scan 17 Display is

- recently introduced Apple Multiple Scan 20 Display in Apple's
- family of large screen displays.

- business professionals for mainstream office tasks including
- presentations, spreadsheet analysis, graphic design, desktop
- publishing and word processing.
- "The Multiple Scan 17 Display offers business customers the
- benefits of high performance display and the flexibility to

- vice president of the Imaging and Publishing Division, Apple
- Computer, Inc. "This display is a perfect complement for

- Product Features
- The Multiple Scan 17 Display features a vertically flat Sony
- Trinitron picture tube for sharp and bright images. It
- comes with anti glare and antistatic screen coatings to

- ports offer headphone, microphone or mouse/keyboard access.
- For accurate color work, the monitor can be adjusted for
- three different color temperatures, 5000, 6500 and 9300
- degrees Kelvin.
- The new display's multiple scan capability lets users select
- the resolution that is best for specific applications
- without restarting the computer. At higher resolutions,
- users can see more information in greater detail. This is
- ideal for page layout. At lower resolutions, users will be
- able to see a magnified view with more colors which is ideal
- for multimedia or presentations. The Multiple Scan 17
- Display supports a low resolution of 640x480, a standard
- resolution of 832x624, and a high resolution of 1024x768 on
- the Macintosh , and from 640x480 up to 1280x1024 on the PC.

- display that allows resolution switching on Macintosh
- computers without restart. The Display Manager software
- includes dynamic support for multiple monitor resolutions.
- The Multiple Scan 17 Display is Energy Star compliant and is
- equipped with Energy Saver software for Macintosh that senses
- periods of inactivity on the Macintosh computer and allows
- the display to use less electricity. The display is also
- compliant with Sweden's strict MPRII guidelines for low
- electrical and magnetic emissions. The new display also
- supports ColorSync , Apple's color matching technology,
- providing better overall system calibration.
