LCD Monitor Product News and Innovations
 General
Digital™ announces a 19.0" version of our COTS Chassis
Monitor RackMount. The COTS CMR-19W is a replacement for
our COTS CMR-18W and affords a larger viewing area in the same 19" rack.
Currently, the COTS CMR-19W is undergoing testing for MIL-STD-901 and
other tests. It is expected to get approval shortly. The COTS CMR-18W
is still available in limited quantities.
 General
Digital™ announces a replacement for our popular GD-15W-NX 15.4"
SXGA standalone LCD monitor. These monitors were deployed in numerous
air traffic control towers as a supplemental display for the STARS program.
The replacement model is a 17" Chassis
Monitor Industrial™, which is housed in the same enclosure
as the GD-15W-NX. Additionally, this product has been UL and FCC approved.
The CMG-17W is now available and is a drop-in replacement.
 All
General Digital™ LCD monitor product families are now available
with DVI (Digital Video Interface) video input. This now adds to the
multitude of video input standards that General Digital™ products
can accept. Additionally, we offer a variety of DVI video cables with
a number of connector combinations (DVI-A, DVI-D, DVI-I) to support interfacing
with several video sources.
General Digital™ delivers the world’s first
brightness-enhanced rack mount LCD monitor/keyboard/trackball device.
This comes in the form of the Daylight
Readable SlimLine 1U™. It features a 19" (diagonal)
LCD display with a brightness of 400 nits, which is achieved with General
Digital’s new GenFlective™ technology.
The unit has chemically-strengthened (tempered), antireflective-coated
protective glass for shatter resistance during field deployment. The
SlimLine 1U™ 19" also includes strereo speakers, a headphone
jack, and a full-size, 121-key, military and TEMPEST-grade, backlit keyboard.
General Digital™ is currently delivering this product to U.S. Marine
Corps programs.
General Digital™ begins shipping GenFlective™-enhanced
15" Rack
Mount Hinge™ LCD monitors. GenFlective™ enhancements
greatly improve transmissive performance by using the Sun to enhance
brightness. These enhancements increase the typical brightness on the
Rack Mount Hinge™ of 200 nits to 1080 nits (actual brightness increases
as ambient light increases). This permits the low-profile (1.75")
monitor to be used in outdoor or high-ambient lighting conditions in
which most monitors would not be viewable.
 General
Digital™ announces the release of the VuePoint™ III,
specifically designed for our legacy customers who wish to upgrade their
VuePoint™ terminals. The enclosure dimensions are identical to the
VuePoint™ II configured with an IPS (Imbedded Power Supply). The
display has been updated with a 10.4", 640 x 480 LCD and resistive
touchscreen. The updated software perfectly emulates previous incarnations
of VuePoint™. Thus, VuePoint™ III is literally a drop-in replacement
for VuePoint™ II. Get all the details and download the data sheet
on the product page,
or contact us for more information.
 General
Digital™ introduces a new 15.1" SlimLine™
1U LCD display/keyboard/pointing device. It features a
20" depth and advanced controls, such as configuration in analog
or analog + NTSC (Live Video) modes. It is specifically designed to
serve in rugged military applications. Stereo speakers are available
optionally. View the specifications and
download the data sheet.
General Digital™ introduces new optical technology, GenFlective™,
which can be integrated into most of its standard product offerings or
sold as a standalone product.  GenFlective™ enhancements
greatly improve transmissive performance by using the Sun to enhance
brightness. Other benefits include low heat emission, low power consumption,
long bulb life, lower cost and simple integration (even in sealed enclosures
in extreme environments).
