NEC has launched a new family of MultiSync LCD monitors, with one model boasting a 20.1-inch viewable image size. The MultiSync LCD2000, costing $59,000, is the largest LCD monitor in the market. It uses NEC's XltraView technology which lets users see the image from many different angles. Other monitors' images tend to shift colour and become darker when viewed from off-angles. The 0.31 mm pixel pitch MultiSync LCD2000 has a native 1280 x 1024 resolution. NEC also has made two 14.1-inch TFT MultiSync models. The LCD 400SF, with the XltraView technology, costs $19,800 while the 400V costs $14,800.
Hewlett-Packard's latest Professional inkjet printer can print in photo quality on A3-sized paper. The DeskJet 1120C is aimed at small businesses, as it supports Windows and can be easily networked. The DeskJet's ZoomSmart scaling technology lets users increase a document's size - say from A4 to A3 - without any loss of resolution. A 'billboard' function lets you create posters as large as 54 by 40 inches. The DeskJet can print up to 6.5 pages per minute (ppm) of black text and 4.5 ppm for colour. It costs $4,250.
