GARDEN GROVE, Calif., August 18, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- KDS USA, a leading provider of monitors and related computer peripherals, today introduced a 19-inch (18-inch viewable) 'pure flat' display, the XF-9i, to its Xtreme Flat line-up in time for the 'back-to-school' season.
The latest Xtreme Flat addition combines all of the benefits of a large-format display with the crisp and brilliant images associated with 'pure flat' technology for under $200. KDS USA's 'pure flat' technology virtually eliminates much of the curvature around a monitor's edges, a common occurrence within many CRT monitors. Compatible with PCs and Macintosh(r) computers, the XF-9i affords users an ideal product for graphics, gaming, business as well as everyday computing applications.
"Through the introduction of our team's XF-9i, we offer a large-format monitor featuring the very latest in CRT technology for students, gamers, graphics professionals and other consumers desiring a premier display at an affordable price point," said Erin Rippee, vice president, marketing at Garden Grove, Calif.-based KDS USA.
The monitor features a sharp 0.25mm dot pitch and 1600x1200 maximum screen affording users crisp and vibrant viewing.
To ease viewer comfort, the XF-9i incorporates an anti-reflection and anti-static coating to virtually eliminate glare and extend viewing periods by reducing associated eye fatigue. The monitor's on-screen digital controls further increase ease-of-use.
The XF-9i is currently available for a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $179.
KDS USA's monitors are all backed by a three-year limited parts and labor warranty in addition to the innovative KDS Advanced Replacement Expressed Service (KARES) program. Through this program, KDS USA replaces a customer's defective product with another monitor in advance of receiving the item.
