High resolution
Clear Bright LCD

Conventional LCD Clear Bright LCD

The new high-resolution 15˝ SXGA+ screen delivers images as bright as on high-performance LCD television screens, thanks to dual backlights, dual inverters and more efficient heat release. Black is blacker and images are more vivid, with higher contrast and less reflection due to an effective glare filter and AR (Anti Reflection) coating.

Note: Screen image is simulated.
