CYPRESS, Calif., April 27, 1992 -- The Information Systems Division (ISD) of Mitsubishi Electronics America, Inc. today announced the new Diamond Scan 16 with more features, but a lower suggested retail price. The new Diamond Scan 16 features a compact enclosure, on-screen color calibration and faster autoscanning mode changes. The new monitor is designed to take full advantage of graphical user interfaces like Windows and the Macintosh operating system. The display is large enough to show documents full-size and have enough remaining screen space to show other application windows in the background. The Diamond Scan 16 has a 0.28 mm dot pitch 16-inch (diagonal) CRT. The monitor's enclosure has a footprint that is similar in size to traditional 14-inch monitors, but offers 42 percent more display area. The monitor features the Diamond Match Color Calibration System, which permits the custom control of on-screen colors to match hardcopy, Pantone colors, or other user-defined standards. The Diamond Scan 16 has a wide autoscan range, with 30 to 64 kilohertz (kHz) horizontal and 50 to 130 Hz vertical frequency range. It runs all resolutions between 640 x 480 (Mac II and VGA) through 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz non-interlaced, making it compatible with all PC, Apple Macintosh II and Quadra standards, and most third-party graphics board standards. All controls are microprocessor-driven, icon-based buttons on the front panel. The monitor's low magnetic emission design complies with all North American and most international standards. The monitor comes with an integrated tilt/swivel base and includes a VGA-compatible signal cable. Suggested retail price for the monitor is $1,299, down $200 from the previous version of the Diamond Scan 16. The monitor is available immediately. A variety of cable adapters are available for the Apple Macintosh II, LC and Quadra for under $10 each.
