Gateway Launches New Line-Up of Easy-To-Use LCD Displays Featuring
Sleek New Design EzMenu On-Screen Display Makes Adjustments Simple
IRVINE, Calif., April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gateway, Inc.
today announced a complete new line of LCD displays that feature a
sleek and thin design, intuitive control menu, flexible placement
options and digital DVI-D technology. The 15-, 17- and 19-inch
flat-panel displays will be sold to consumers and small businesses
through Gateway's Direct and Retail channels with excellent prices
starting at just $209.99. The patent-pending EzMenu(TM) on-screen
display (OSD) makes adjusting the display settings straightforward
-- each step is obvious thanks to simple pop-up options. As a
result, customers can more easily set the display to provide the
look they want, including the brightness, contrast and other
features. All of the new Gateway LCD displays support both an
analog and digital input. The digital DVI-D input provides a pure
digital connection and the highest quality image. A conveniently
located side button enables users to toggle between both options.
"Once again, Gateway is taking a leadership position by providing
our customers with more advanced features and a better user
experience at a great price," said Dan Stevenson, Gateway's vice
president of product marketing. "First, our new LCD design is
simply one of the most clean, slim and elegant designs available.
Second, our new LCD displays were designed for maximum flexibility.
Each new Gateway LCD display integrates an industry standard VESA
mount for easy placement almost anywhere. Finally, all of these
Gateway LCD displays offer Gateway's intuitive EzMenu user
interface. By offering digital LCD technology at more affordable
price points, Gateway will help more customers enjoy the range of
benefits LCD displays provide over CRTs." Sleek Design With a
Common ID Maximizes Space, Makes Striking Statement The thin, sleek
design maximizes space, so users have more room on their desk for
files, projects and computer peripherals. Its modern look and feel
has dramatic visual appeal, which will enhance any room in the home
or office. For example, a cable clip mechanism that lets users
route power, video and audio cables behind the monitor enhances the
clean appearance. In addition, these new monitors share a common
design language with Gateway's new line of notebook and desktop
PCs. Sharing a similar industrial design and common suppliers
across the line means a more attractive look and feel that also
translates to more efficiency and thus, more cost-savings for
customers. Removable Base and Adjustable Stand Offers Flexibility
in Viewing Options An end-user attachable/removable base on the new
LCD displays makes it easy to place them on a desk, mount them on a
wall and transport them to other places, so users are assured
maximum flexibility.(1) In addition, the optional Ergotron New-Flex
LCD Stand offers six degrees of adjustability. It's easy to use,
taking a simple flick of the finger to make an adjustment. The
monitor can be raised and lowered, swiveled left and right, and
pivoted between landscape and portrait orientation. Screen rotation
software is already integrated in Gateway computers and can be
accessed via a hot key on the keyboard. The new stand is available
for $49. All of the Gateway LCDs work with VESA (4 x 100mm)
compliant mounting solutions. A center VESA100 mm mounting point is
on the rear of the display for attaching Gateway's optional stand
or any other VESA-compliant arm or stand. The displays also come
with a worldwide, universal integrated power supply and a security
lock port. Environmentally Friendly; Energy Efficient
Environmentally friendly, the displays operate at 40 watts. In
addition, they release less electromagnetic emissions and emit less
heat, thereby consuming between 45 and 56 percent less energy than
a traditional CRT monitor. Since LCDs stay cooler, the components
last longer and the product's lifecycle improves. Agency
certifications include Energy Star(R), UL, cUL, FCC Class B, NOM,
CE, TUV/GS and VCCI. Gateway's recycling program provides customers
a way to safely dispose of older displays such as CRTs. Through
Gateway's trade-in program, consumers can receive a redemption
check equal to the current value of their traded product when they
purchase a new Gateway or eMachines product.(2) Business customers
can participate in Gateway's Asset Recovery Program, a service that
manages the logistics, reporting, recycling, refurbishment and
remarketing of obsolete electronic equipment.(3) Gateway 15-Inch
