Edited by the Laboratorytalk editorial team Feb 15, 2002

Rotating screens for landscape or portrait viewing allow users to quickly change orientation in order to view whole documents, web pages, or other file types

Planar Systems has launched an innovative range of 15-inch and 17.4-inch flat-panel monitors that feature the ability to rotate the display from landscape to portrait viewing, providing users with a choice to fit their specific desktop application.

Designed to appeal to both the business and consumer markets, the new models offer crisp, high-contrast images, large format viewing areas, USB hubs, and built-in speakers.

The units can be ordered in a range of exterior colours, including translucent red, blue, and clear, as well as classic white or professional black.

With rotating screens, users can easily switch from landscape to portrait viewing with a simple twist of the display, allowing them to see an entire web page, PDF, e-mail, or word processing document without needing to scroll down.

Software provided with the monitors easily switches the orientation of the displayed information with just a click of the mouse.

The 15-inch PV150 supports resolutions of up to 1024 x 768 (XGA) and has a viewable area equivalent to that of a 17-inch CRT monitor.

The 17.4-inch PV174 is capable of 1280 x 1024 (SXGA) resolution, and features analogue and digital inputs.

Both models feature the company's industry-leading three-year Customer First warranty.
