Featuring DoubleSight Displays' patent-pending multiple monitor "smart control" technology, the $799 DoubleSight DS-1500 harnesses two 15-inch LCD flat panels with 2048 x 768 resolution in a side-by-side configuration mounted on a single, space-efficient base stand. Supported by Macintosh and Windows computers, the DoubleSight DS-1500 seamlessly displays as much data as a single 20-inch monitor and manages several sources of information without time-consuming switching between windows.
"With respect to recent technology advances in faster processors, larger storage, and quicker Internet connections, the monitor is the last remaining barrier to greater user productivity," said Jay Muskovich, Chief Executive Officer of DoubleSight Displays, LLC. "We have designed the DoubleSight dual LCD monitor to allow users to take better advantage of their data and computing power while increasing multitasking and productivity by as much as 50 percent. The combination of productivity gains and other cost savings can provide companies with a very quick return on their investment in a DoubleSight."
DoubleSight features proprietary multi-screen control technology that employs a single controlling motherboard for seamless management and control of multiple displays. By simply distributing or replicating signals to both display panels, the user has the ability to display a different window on each monitor panel at the same time, or stretch screens, such as spreadsheets, across two monitors to clearly view more information. A menu-driven On-Screen Display provides a full range of customizable tools to optimize each LCD display. Using the main function control panel, DoubleSight provides a single control button for accessing the comprehensive On-Screen Display menu to manage the left-side panel, right-side panel, or both panels.
The DoubleSight DS-1500 combines attractive techno avant-garde appearance with a unique, light yet sturdy design that requires a minimum of desk space. The strength of DoubleSight's industrial design is attributed to its unique aluminum tilt and swivel base that supports horizontal and vertical movement of the LCD panels. With its simplified, slim flat panel design, DoubleSight can be placed on a desk, is VESA wall-mountable, or may be hung from an office cubicle.
DoubleSight can be connected to computers with two VGA ports, one VGA port and a DVI port, or to two separate computers by attaching one VGA cable to each computer. Additionally, DoubleSight is powered through a single power cord providing a simplified cabling solution.
The viewable area of the DoubleSight dual LCD monitor is 24 inches (horizontal) by 9 inches (vertical) with a minimal center bezel that allows for optimal display continuity. The two combined LCD panels generate a 2048 x 768 resolution, with each panel pre-set to a maximum of 1024 x 768 at 75Hz. Apple's 20" Cinema Display offers 1680 x 1050 at its optimal resolution. Each DoubleSight 15-inch panel produces sharp images with a high brightness rate of 250cd/m2 and a 400:1 contrast ratio. The display features a 130° horizontal/ 100° vertical viewing angle, a fast response time of 25ms, a sharp pixel pitch of 0.297mm, 16M maximum displayable colors, and 30,000 hours minimum lamp life.
"We are very pleased with the enthusiasm and early DoubleSight product acceptance experienced to date, and are actively implementing a robust sales strategy that includes alliances with several international OEMs partners and domestic retailer, resellers and distributors," said Muskovich.
The DoubleSight DS-1500 dual LCD monitor is targeted at mainstream computer users in corporations, IT professionals, customer service and support call centers, legal and medical professional services, stock traders and financial institutions, graphic design and multimedia, PC gamers, government and education. Additionally, DoubleSight gives gamers an expanded view or duplicates the display signal so multiple players can view the same game on their own screen.
The DoubleSight DS-1500 is priced at a modest $799 (MSRP), compared with $1,299.00 for a 20" Apple Cinema Display. Purchase information is available at:
