The Multiscan
®
FD Trinitron
®
displays offer the very
latest in advanced CRT display technology from
Sony: the FD Trinitron CRT. These virtually flat CRTs
minimize geometric distortion and reduce reflective
glare that may cause eyestrain. Designed with the
demanding CAD and graphic professionals in
mind, the Multiscan F Series sets a new level of
image performance, ease of use and reliability. The
stunning images produced by this display are a
result of Sony’s new HiDensity
Electron Gun with
Enhanced Elliptical Correction System
technology.
The tight 0.22mm aperature grille pitch delivers
sharp, detailed color images consistently across
the entire screen – especially in the corners. Digital
Multiscan
®
and Active Signal Correction (ASC
)
technologies allow for easy set-up, regardless of
the input signal or resolution. And with broad hori-
zontal scan rates available, resolutions as high as
1800 x 1440 @ 80Hz (F500) are possible. Our
unique DisplayMouse
control is easy-to-use and
allows for precise manual adjustment of the image
to fit individual user preference. Sony left nothing
to the imagination with this display, including
GeoLock Plus
circuitry. This feature will automati-
cally sense and neutralize electromagnetic fields
that can cause image or color distortion, which is
commonly noticeable on large screen displays. The
F Series is designed for Windows 2000 and
Windows 98, is Macintosh compatible and meets
or exceeds all of the industry safety standards,
including TCO 95 compliance.
