Nokia monitor meets all new VESA timing standards
October 22, 1998
Nokia Display Products announces that the Nokia 445Xpro is able to support all the latest VESA Discrete Timing standards for the pixel formats 1920 x 1440, 1856 x 1392 and 1792 x 1344.
With the new VESA standard pixel format 1920 x 1440 there are 44 per cent more pixels available on the screen compared to the previous highest standard pixel format 1600x1200, a significant benefit in imaging applications.
Nokia believes that these newly released VESA standard pixel formats will be broadly supported by the PC graphics industry within a short period of time, just like all previously released VESA timing standards have been.
These newly released VESA Discrete Timing standards are all based on the VESA Generalized Timing Formula (GTF) concept, which was released by VESA about two years ago. As a pioneer in promoting the VESA GTF concept, Nokia is supporting VESA GTF in all of its recent monitor including the Nokia 445Xpro.
Full compliance with the VESA timing standards ensures that the image on a Nokia monitor will always appear sized and centered when the monitor is connected to any graphics controller that is fully VESA timing standards compliant.
Jarmo Kurikko, General Manager of Display Technology at Nokia explains that end users of consumer electronics such as TVs and VCRs wouldn't find it acceptable if they had to adjust the image size and position whenever they tuned in a new channel. Yet this is what most PC users have to go through when they select a new graphics mode unless both the monitor and the graphics controller conform to the VESA GTF standard. On the other hand the image on the Nokia 445Xpro will always appear in the correct position when used with any graphics controller that uses the VESA Generalized Timing Formula to calculate timing parameters.
The 21-inch Nokia 445Xpro has a super fine horizontal dot pitch of 0.21 mm and supports flicker free refresh rates up to 150 Hz appreciated by professional users of publishing, imaging and CAD applications.
The uniform image sharpness and clarity is assured by the use of Nokia Dynamic Convergence technology that automatically adjusts the image in 25 individual screen areas. The electronic Dynamic Focus lens automatically adjusts and focuses the electron beam as it travels across the screen. Thanks to a small beam diameter, the 445Xpro has exceptional image clarity also in the corners even at high resolutions.
User friendly on screen menus are controlled by a single Navi Key press-and-rotate knob. The Nokia 445Xpro is available with Universial Serial Bus (USB) for easier connecting and disconnecting of peripherials, such as keyboards and printers.With Nokia DisplayWare the display adjustments can be executed with the mouse in the same way as ordinary PC operations.
The Nokia 445Xpro meets the strict requirements for ergonomics, energy consumption and environmental impact as specified in the TCO'95 approval.
Nokia is a broad-scope communications company supplying mobile phones, mobile and fixed telecommunications networks, wireless data communications solutions, multimedia terminals and computer monitors. In 1997, net sales totaled FIM 52.6 billion ($9.8 billion). Headquartered in Finland, Nokia is listed on the NYSE (NOK.A), has sales in 130 countries and employs more than 41,000 people worldwide.
