Special Promotion - High Spec 19" LCD (flat screen) monitor for 17" price!

We are pleased to announce a very special promotion bringing
high specification 19" LCD (flat screen) monitors to users at
the same price as a good 17" unit.  Bearing in mind the high
price normally associated with high spec 19" units, we have
been quite literally amazed by this special offer from our
suppliers.

The monitors in question are brand new, with full warranty from
their top-tier manufacturer -  19" LCD monitors with dual inputs -
analogue and DVI digital.  Speakers are included in the bezel of
the monitor, removing the need for seperate speakers for general
use.

The dual input facility bears explanation, because many RISC OS
users may not be familiar with it.  Cheaper LCD monitors usually
only feature an analogue connection, which is how the picture
is sent from RiscPC/Iyonix machines.  Here, the picture starts
digital in the computer, is downgraded to an analogue signal,
sent to the monitor, and turned back from analogue to a 
digital format for the monitor.  This is clearly less than 
ideal.  The DVI digital input keeps the signal digital all
the way through, giving best image quality, and avoiding
the need to adjust picture position on the screen, which
is necessary for LCD monitors on analogue connections.  Computers
such as our RISCube and SpaceCube machines, as well as
some A6s and many regular Windows PCs are capable of
outputting DVI digital signals.  If your machine is capable
of outputting DVI digital signals, we strongly recommend 
a DVI digital supporting monitor.

By connecting a computer to each input (eg. RISCube on the
DVI Digital, and Iyonix or RiscPC on the analogue) you can
drive the monitor from either machine, pressing a single
button on the front to switch between.


In common with all 19" LCD monitors the resolution is 1280x1024,
although lower resolutions are supported if necessary.


The price is the same as for our DVI-equipped 17" units - 
360ukp inclusive of VAT.  Stocks are rather limited, so
first-come, first served.


Commenting on the monitors, Andrew Rawnsley said, "Having
used these monitors ourselves, we have been very impressed
indeed, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them at the
prices normally associated with 19" DVI screens.  To be able
to offer them at 17" prices was a huge surprise/shock,
and clearly we want RISC OS users to benefit from this".


If you wish to collect one at the Guildford show, we suggest
reserving one as soon as possible, because we are unlikely 
to be able to repeat the offer!
