Westwood, Mass –– October 23, 2002 –– Hitachi America, Ltd., a subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE: HIT), has introduced a 17” LCD monitor that has almost twice the response time of any other flat panel monitor on the market. This rapid response time makes Hitachi’s CML174 ideal for gaming, animation, digital signage, multi-media driven applications or for general users viewing video over the World Wide Web. The CML174’s rapid response time provides significantly smoother video and motion with reduced ghosting - finally making flat panel displays a viable option for many computer video and gaming users.
With a 12 millisecond rise and 4 millisecond fall time, the CML174 provides one of the best moving images of any LCD computer monitor. While optimized for gaming, animation and multimedia applications, all users could benefit from the improved performance.
“The average flat panel display has a pixel response time of 30 ms. Hitachi’s new CML174 responds almost twice as fast as other monitors and significantly reduces the ghosting and jagged pixel effects common in most other LCDs. At this speed the CML174 opens new vistas of experience for the flat panel viewer,” said Leslie Bishop, marketing communications manager of the Hitachi America, Ltd. monitor group.
Users in gaming and animation can now enjoy faster motion combined with the space savings features of LCD flat panel technology. The panel features an ultra slim 16 mm bezel on each side with an auto-adjust function for quick, beautiful image adjustments. The CML174 comes with 160 degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles as well as a pixel pitch of .264.
The new monitor delivers a 17” viewing area (388 x 270 mm). It provides inputs for 15-pin D-sub and DVI-D connectors for flexibility and superior images. It also delivers 260 nit brightness and a superior 400:1 contrast ratio with a prime recommended resolution of 1280x1024 at 75 or 60Hz.
The new LCD comes in an Ivory (CML174) or black (CML174B) cabinet and its brickless design uses a standard monitor power cable, eliminating the hassle of replacing or mounting the more expensive power converter. This display can be arm or wall mounted with additional third party arms and meets VESA Flat Panel Monitor Physical Mounting Interface (FPMPMI) spacing standards.
PC & Mac compatible (some Macs may require an adapter) the CML174 weighs only 11 Lbs, including the base, with a panel-only depth of 2.4”.
The TCO ’99 or ‘95 approved CML174 complies with the world’s strictest standards for low radiation, safety ergonomics and power management. It comes with a 3 year warranty and will begin shipping to Hitachi distributors around November 8th with an MSRP of $699.00

And as for the Enquirer etc...All the sites I look at (and it is a bunch as I am still in the learning process) do not cover monitors or power supply's with the vigor of motherboards and other hardware...Not trying to start an argument just trying to give a little information that I wished I would have known about before buying the Sony CRT...
