Solarism Display Inc., a leader in brightness LCD technology, introduced its first line of ultra-bright 15-inch multimedia TFT-LCD monitors.

The LM1503 was built with its patented back-light technology, known as ABT (Advanced Brightness Technology). Solarism was able to develop a TFT-LCD monitor that can deliver crisp and clear picture quality, widen viewing angles, and refine the true color of visual images.

The LM1503 was designed for professional usage and multimedia purposes. This is the first and only non-industrial TFT-LCD monitor to carry a maximum of 800cd/m brightness and has a 300:1 contrast ratio with a maximum resolution of 1024x768. Besides the implementation of the patented brightness technology, the LM1503 is a true multimedia visual display. It supports 16.7 million true colors and comes with an S-video and audio input which enables viewers to connect with either DVD or RCA players to view their favorite media. The LM1503 comes with two built-in, high quality stereo speakers in the front bezel. This 15-inch TFT-LCD monitor is perfect for business applications, gaming purposes, and web browsing.

"With the increasing market demand of LCD monitors, consumers will expect more out of a it than just a space saving monitor display with average picture quality. Multimedia functionality will be a key to a completely developed LCD monitor," said David King, V.P. of Sales, "At this constant annual growth rate, LCD technology will find its way to main stream media in no time."

The LM1503 TFT-LCD monitor will be available through authorized Solarism's resellers and distributors beginning in early August 2001, and is backed by a three-year warranty on parts, labor, and backlight.

The Solarism LM1503 is available from Ginsbury Electronics in the UK.
