Compaq Flat Panel Monitor Rackmount (TFT450R)

332662-001

The Compaq Flat Panel Monitor Rackmount (TFT450R) uses Thin Film Transistor technology, which offers high-performance and reliability in a space- saving 2U retractable design.

OVERVIEW

Space Savings

14.5″ (37 cm) display delivers a viewable image area that is especially designed to effectively utilize available rack cabinet space. The space-saving benefits (2U retractable versus 9-11U) of flat panel monitors can be gained without having to sacrifice viewable image size or performance.

Performance

High resolution of 1024 x 768 @ 75 Hz supports most commonly used resolutions for traditional CRT customers. It also offers 800 x 600 @ 75 Hz and 640 x 480 @ 75 Hz to support most major resolutions.

TFT active matrix screen guarantees a flicker-free picture, which is brighter, more vibrant and in sharper focus than a CRT monitor. Using three transistors for each pixel, active matrix produces a high quality display and eliminates the problems associated with passive matrix LCD screens.

Improved picture quality is achieved through the elimination of the variations in convergence, magnetic field and poor geometry.

Side-to-side wide angle viewing displays a quality picture even when the user is not directly in front of the monitor. Specifically, the monitor supports quality viewing at angles of 120o horizontally and 105o vertically. Compaq uses a compensation film. Flat panels without this film lose contrast and picture quality at wide angles.

Ergonomic Design

Intuitive, 3 button On-Screen Display (OSD), is conveniently located on the front of the monitor, making screen adjustments easy.

A wide array of adjustments can be made, including contrast, brightness, vertical/horizontal position, clock, clock phase, clock fine, language selection, power saver, mode display, serial number, full screen, and factory reset.

Compaq-unique LiteSaver (timer function) in the OSD is one of the management functions. It turns the monitor off at a specific time and returns it to full power later. This feature is designed to prolong the life of the backlights.

Multilingual On-Screen Display gives a visual illustration of adjustments to be made, allowing for quick and easy custom adjustments.

Microprocessor-based, intelligent scanning allows for modes, size, and centreing to be adjusted and saved. There are 12 factory preset-modes and four user-programmable modes. Protective front panel offers protection to screen, eliminating the fear of puncture from pen, or other objects.

LCD Display Assistant provides quick steps that aid in fine-tuning the display to optimize performance. This eliminates the need to guess at the settings to provide the best front-of-screen performance.

Low Cost of Ownership

The Compaq Flat Panel Monitor uses about a third of the power of a 15″ (38 cm) CRT monitor and emits less heat, which is important in today’s rack environment. The most stringent worldwide environmental regulatory standards are met, including:

The Compaq 1600, introduced in the mid-1990s, was a notable addition to the personal computing landscape, blending functionality with cutting-edge technology of its time. As a portable computing solution, it was especially appealing to business professionals and students who needed a reliable machine for both productivity and mobility.

One of the primary features of the Compaq 1600 was its robust design, combining durability with a sleek, compact form factor. Weighing around six to seven pounds, it was manageable for travel without compromising on screen size or keyboard comfort. The 15-inch display boasted a resolution of 800x600 pixels, providing ample screen real estate for most applications of the era, while ensuring good visibility in various lighting conditions.

Under the hood, the Compaq 1600 was powered by Intel’s Pentium processors, which were known for their impressive performance and reliability. The entry-level models typically came equipped with 16 MB of RAM, expandable up to 64 MB, allowing users to run multiple applications simultaneously without significant slowdowns. Storage options varied, with models featuring either 2.1 GB or 4.3 GB hard drives, providing users with sufficient space for documents, presentations, and media files.

Connectivity was another strong point for the Compaq 1600, which included integrated floppy and CD-ROM drives, as well as multiple ports such as USB, serial, and parallel connections. This allowed users to easily connect peripherals like printers and external storage devices. The inclusion of a 56K modem also ensured that users could connect to the internet and utilize online resources, a crucial feature for business and educational purposes during that time.

The Compaq 1600 ran on the Windows 95 operating system, which offered an intuitive interface and support for a wide range of applications. This made it easy for users to transition from older machines and take advantage of the evolving software ecosystem.

In conclusion, the Compaq 1600 was designed to cater to the needs of a mobile workforce, providing a combination of portability, performance, and essential features. With its solid construction, decent processing power, and practical connectivity options, it marked a significant milestone in the evolution of portable computing solutions during the 1990s, facilitating a new era of on-the-go productivity. This model remains a nostalgic marker in the history of laptops, representative of a time when personal computing began to embrace both power and portability.
