For years operators have been plagued by CRT monitors, only recently
has the LCD been able to penetrate the industrial market. The benefits
of LCD vs. CRT are numerous. LCDs are much slimmer than their CRT
counterparts. This slimness brings along a host of advantages such as
space saving and portability. LCDs emit a very small amount of
radiation compared to CRTs. Health conscious consumers prefer them for
this one reason. LCDs are free from the burn-in issue that plagues CRTs
and Plasma displays. LCDs do not "paint" their image. They provide a
flicker free image every time. LCD's have considerably lower power
usage. For example a 17 inch display requires only about 35 watts. LCD
screens also tend to produce less eye fatigue to the user. The constant
light barrage and scan lines of a CRT tube tend to cause strain on
operators. The lower intensity of the LCD monitors coupled with their
constant screen display of pixels being on or off produces less fatigue
for the operator. The LCD used in this solution has a resolution of
1280 by 1024 and over 16 million colors. Its operating temperature goes
from 0° to 40° C with humidity at 10~85%, perfect for almost any
environment. It also has an incredible contrast ratio of 700:1 and a
300cd/m2 brightness. The unit works on MOD 300 systems as well as
others.
