This monitor would deliver excellent performance for a variety of graphic and financial applications such as CAD/CAM, scientific imaging, desktop publishing and complex spreadsheets.

With the ThinkVision L200p, a 20.1-inch flat panel LCD monitor running at 1600 x 1200 optimum resolution (UXGA), IBM now offers a high-performance monitor in a new line that emphasizes innovation, performance, and a superior user experience. Part of IBM's high-end

Performance line of monitors, the ThinkVision L200p displays clear, accurate images on a large 1.9 megapixel screen. It offers 250 cd/m2 brightness, 400:1 contrast ratio and 170-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles. Using dual input, the monitor can be attached to two systems simultaneously, and it offers both analog or digital system attachment. Both analog and digital cables are provided.

"IBM's Think strategy is built around the idea that technology must provide innovation for business advantage," says Alok Ohrie, Vice President, Personal Computing Division, IBM India Limited. "The new ThinkVision line of monitors, led by the innovative L200p, will offer innovations designed to improve the user experience with one of the office tools used most frequently throughout the work day."

The L200p's ergonomic, cantilever stand appears to make the display float towards the user. The stand, an original IBM design, keeps the base stationary while allowing the monitor to swivel 135 degrees in either direction. In addition, the stand offers smooth, effortless tilt and lift adjustments.
