WELCOME TO YOUR

DIGITAL HOME!

Dear Customer,

Thank you for purchasing a Packard Bell LCD TV screen.

In just a few minutes, you will be able to receive all the benefits of a flat-panel TV from the comfort of your living room.

But first, let us tell you about the journey we have made since the 1950s. At that time, Packard Bell manufactured television sets. In the 1990s Packard Bell began manufacturing home PCs. Now in the 21st century, Packard Bell continues to evolve and is making the convergence of digital solutions a reality, right in the heart of your home.

A BIT OF HISTORY

Twenty years ago the digital information era began and microcomputing made its entry into homes in the form of a new machine: the PC. Today new, entirely digital media are making their appearance in homes (game consoles, DVD players, MP3 players, etc.) while "standard" home equipment also becomes more digitised (cameras, camcorders, stereo systems, televisions, etc.).

At the same time the growing success of high-speed connections (ADSL, cable, etc.) and the deve- lopment of mobile technologies (miniaturisation of components, wireless connections, etc.) are speeding up demand for increasingly varied services.

Whatever its function, appearance or location inside the home, each PC must be able to receive, store, process and share large amounts of data with other home-based solutions, while also facili- tating access to the Internet.

INFORMATION-SHARING:THE NEW CHALLENGE!

At the heart of this new network, the PC is naturally equipped to play the role of the orchestra's conductor: it is powerful, multi-functional, standardised and upgradeable.

Within this basic trend, Packard Bell occupies a strategic position: a key player in the IT sector, it is recognised for its anticipation of consumer needs and expectations.

Representing the fruit of many years' research and development, LCD-technology television screens are part of the new Packard Bell Lounge range, dedicated entirely to digital solutions for the home. These products are based on the qualities that have made our brand such a success: design, functionality and ease of use.

Packard Bell invites you to enter the digital home of your dreams—now and for a long time to come…
