Diamond Digital launches the ultimate multimedia display
Announcement posted by Mitsubishi Electric Australia 27 Aug 2004
Is it an LCD TV or a PC monitor? Actually, it's both.
The Diamond Digital DV300 is Mitsubishi Electric's first large screen LCD Multimedia Information Display suitable for both video and data applications making it equally at home in a home theatre application, boardroom or public display application.
Imagine playing an online game of Counterstrike or Unreal Tournament on a brilliant 30-inch LCD monitor in your lounge room, while your PC sat quietly in the study; or watching your favourite DVD movie or TV program on HDTV while monitoring your email via a Picture-in-Picture display.
In the board room it could be used for displaying presentation videos or DVD and video conferencing at the same time, once again using the Picture-in-Picture mode.
In today's techno speak its called 'convergence' - combining all of the benefits of your PC, DVD, VCR and HDTV into the same device.
The Diamond Digital DV300 can be used as a standalone HDTV with quality audio coming from the two detachable 5-Watt speakers or connected to a PC either directly or via a third party wireless network.
The benefits of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) TV over plasma are becoming well known.
Unlike plasma screens there is no 'burn in' of images left on the screen for too long and LCD has almost twice the operating lifetime of plasma while using about one-third of the power and minimising ongoing running costs.
The DV300 has 1280 x 768 pixel resolution (WXGA) and one of the fastest response times of any LCD (just 16 milliseconds) making it the ultimate PC monitor.
It also has one of the highest contrast ratios (500:1) and brightness (500 cd/m2) in the industry and an excellent 176 degree viewing angle allowing you to view it from almost anywhere in the room making it a brilliant centrepiece for a home theatre.
The DV300 uses Faroudja DCDi line doubling technology which enhances video images to be more cinema-like and has a light sensor which adjusts the brightness of the picture automatically according to ambient light
Coming with a built-in PAL TV tuner with remote control it also has component video input and DVI input for the display of true digital data images.
A set top box (Foxtel etc), VCR or DVD can be connected to the DV300 and it will handle a high definition signal (1080i) through its component video input.
The DV300 is free standing and comes with a smart die cast aluminum chassis, but is light and slim enough to be wall mounted with an optional wall mounting kit.
While ideal in the home, it is rugged enough to be used in shopping centres or other retail outlets for point-of-sale advertising or even in airports for displaying flight arrivals and departures information.
It will be available immediately with a recommended retail price of $5290 including GST. For further information please go to: http://www.MitsubishiElectric.com.au.
