Collapsible LCD Screens

Posted by timothy on from the sounds-tempting dept.

Schart writes "I can't seem to find any pictures of exactly what they mean by 'collapsible LCD,' but NEC today announced a new line of low(ish) priced LCD screens that 'fold up for easy portability.'" Anyone out there who can supply visual documentation?

    Don't know if this constitutes what everyone is looking for, but you can see that there is no border in the center portion where it folds.

    From the article (emphisis mine)...
    With an ultra thin-frame bezel on all sides of the screen, the new streamlined models not only reduce usersâ(TM) horizontal desktop space but their attractive design also complements home environments at all angles.
    So this monintor reduces my desktop space and it's attractive? What a deal. This has to be some kind of typo, but what the hell were they trying to say?

    This is similar to the Samsung SyncMaster 172T, where the stand and monitor fold together (flat) for wall mounting, easy tote, NEC is just playing catch up, etc.

    Doesn't mean the screen folds in half...sorry.

    From Toms...

    NEC today announced its first line of light-weight LCD monitors that fold up for easy portability. Attractively designed for home users and gamers on the go, the new monitors provide a protective black bezel acrylic screen with flexible silver cabinet and stand that adjust to a variety of angles including flat against its base. "Providing consumers with the freedom to easily carry their monitor around, the new units collapse into small packages that weigh only 8.6 lbs for the NEC LCD1565 and 13.2 lbs for the NEC LCD1765. Built to withstand wear and tear, the durable acrylic screen displays 88 pixels per inch on the 15-inch unit and 96 pixels per inch on the 17-inch unit for continually clear, accurate images even after years of use." Coupled with a small form-factor PC, this looks to be the ideal monitor-type for those that frequently attend LAN parties.

    Press release

    It really whips the Lama's ass!
