Introduction to the NEC LCD1280 True Color Monitor

The LCD1280 monitor provides superior display performance, a reduced footprint and the flexibility and adaptability required by today’s complex computing environments.

The LCD1280 features a 13-inch (diagonal viewable image size), active matrix, true-color, thin-film-transistor, liquid crystal display to provide superior display perform- ance with a reduced footprint. Less than seven inches in depth, the LCD1280 monitor is ideal for environments with space and weight constraints that require superior image quality. The LCD1280 also delivers the outstanding per-

formance necessary for today’s sophisticated Windows, Macintosh, Silicon Graphics, Sun and other workstation applications.

In addition to offering support for VGA graphics mode (640 x 480), the LCD1280 supports WS high resolution mode (1280 x 1024). The LCD1280 automatically detects and changes between WS high resolution mode and VGA graphics mode. The LCD1280 can display an infinite number of colors in its high resolution mode.

Analog Interface

Because the LCD1280 accepts an analog input, a graphics card with digital output is not required. The same graph- ics board can be used to drive the LCD1280 or a standard CRT monitor. The analog interface also provides the LCD with its true-color capability. Unlike digital panels, the LCD1280 is able to display a continuous spectrum of “true” colors.

Reduced Footprint

The LCD1280 monitor offers nearly the same active

display size as a conventional 15-inch CRT (13.8” diagonal viewable image size) at 40% of the depth and 30% of the weight. With a depth of less than seven inches, the reduced footprint of the LCD1280 provides the ideal solution for applications requiring a large display and high resolution but where space and weight are of particular concern.
