Dell computer monitor

Genesis Microchip announced Wednesday Dell Computer Corporation utilizes the Genesis gmZ1 digital image-processing chip in the Dell 1500FP flat panel monitor. "The gmZ1 provides the Dell monitor with full-screen upscaling for all input formats," said Hamid Farzaneh, Genesis Microchip's Vice President of Worldwide Sales. "The image processing and scaling algorithms are exceptional and result in display images free of the 'blocky' or 'jaggy' distortions commonly found on inferior monitors. The Genesis chip also allows consumers to plug the monitor into any standard PC and view a variety of resolutions, with excellent results." Introduced in November 1998, the Dell 1500FP flat panel monitor is an excellent choice for consumer, financial, medical, industrial, governmental or any mission-critical use where workspace, weight, power conservation, heat dispersion and electromagnetic interference (EMI) considerations are important. It provides outstanding value to discriminating customers who require high-quality, large-screen displays at affordable prices. The Dell 1500FP, with a 15-inch viewable image size (comparable to standard 17-inch CRT display), is a true analog, active-matrix, thin film transistor (TFT) flat panel display that delivers bright, vivid images with no geometric distortion. The Dell 1500FP has a thin profile, which reduces desk space requirements by 60 percent. Weighing in at only 12.2 pounds, it can be wall-mounted for maximum space savings. The monitor's analog interface ensures that the display can be used with a standard graphics connector and does not require additional, potentially expensive, hardware. The Dell 1500FP's standalone price is $899 (US).
