Nokia 800PRO+ Sets a New High-Water Mark for Professional FPDs
October 13, 1999
The sales volumes of desktop flat panel displays are launched on a sharply rising trend. The Nokia 800PRO+ put Nokia up front in the most demanding segment of the expanding market, that is, FPDs aimed at professional users. Slimmest of the slim, the 18.1-inch LCD monitor combines superior image quality with a host of value added user features. The new display comply with the new ISO 13406 standard for FDP image quality. Indeed, Nokia has been deeply involved in the development of this first visual ergonomic standard specifically aimed for FPDs.
Measurably superb picture
Based on the latest active matrix Super TFT liquid crystal panel technology, the picture of the Nokia 800PRO+ is formed by razor-sharp pixels. The picture is remarkably bright (235 cd/m2), has a high contrast ratio (300:1) and draws on a palette of 16.7 million colours. The result is a picture that is crisp, clear, free of flicker and drawn in rich, true colours.
The fast response time of 50 ms makes the Nokia 800PRO+ suited for the viewing of high quality video (moving) picture. The 18.1-inch viewable diagonal screen size means that the Nokia 800PRO+ offers the user the same working space as a 20.1-inch CRT monitor, only in a physically much more compact form.
Thanks to the wide viewing angle of 160 degrees, the user can freely position the display, and with the information on the screen readily perceived from any number of viewing points, the display is eminently suited for joint viewing by a group of users.
The Nokia 800PRO+ complies with the requirements of the new ISO 13406-2 standard for FPD image quality. Nokia has been deeply involved in the preparation of the standard through its editorship. The new standard, which is the first standard drawn up specifically for flat panel displays, defines requirements for instance for image quality, for colours and for refection under variation of the viewing angle, as well as for pixel faults, and for image formation time.
The Nokia 800PRO+ also complies with the TCO'99 guidelines, which cover, in addition to visual ergonomics, power consumption, emissions and environmental impact. The TCO'99 is the first TCO standard to define separate visual ergonomics guidelines for FDPs.
Professional user value
Professional users working with Windows and PC based applications will appreciate the possibility to choose resolutions smaller than the optimum resolution of SXGA 1280 x 1024. What is more, it is extremely easy to switch resolutions, thanks to the enlargement function from native resolution VGA, SVGA and XGA to full screen.
In many of the applications where the space-saving desktop FPD comes into its own, such as banking and finance, the users regularly work with more than one computer systems. The Nokia 800PRO+ is equipped with a dual input, enabling it to receive either two analog signals or alternatively one analog and one digital signal. The Nokia 800PRO+ is future proof with respect to the PC/monitor interface standards.
The integrated USB Hub with USB audio provides for easy hot-plug connection and disconnection of all peripheral devices via the monitor hub. The high quality audio capabilities will come into their own in professional audio applications, an area under lively development.
The user interface of the Nokia 800PRO+ is a simple and elegant application of the acclaimed Nokia ergonomics. Picture parameters can be adjusted by means of an On-Screen-Menu. The OSM is easy to access and simple to use, thanks to the inclusion of the familiar Nokia NaviTMKey.
Slim, safe and environmentally sound
With the Nokia 800PRO+, the benefits of the FPD become manifest. The monitor is only slightly larger than a standard 15.1-inch LCD monitor. The slim and light overall design is re-echoed in the remarkably slim frame around the display area. Moreover, the elegance of this noticeably compact display has been achieved without any compromises on the performance.
As this is a display that will stand out in any setting, the customers are sure to appreciate the option of choosing black colour if it fits their offices better than the traditional off-white.
The Nokia 800PRO+ has the additional feature of Nokia SafetyPlexTM, which protects the LCD panel against moisture, dust, grease, and blows. Cleaning will also become easy and safe, apt to prolong the working life of the display.
The Nokia 800PRO+ is also protected against theft. The monitor can be physically secured by a cable or chain, and the security code prevents unauthorised use of the display.
Nokia is paving the way to the mobile information society with its innovative products and solutions.
