Wide-screen 8.5in TFT LCD suits a wide range of applications from mobile computing to medical or industrial equipment.
Unlike CRTs and plasma displays, LCD monitors are not phosphor based, and therefore do not suffer from burn-in after long periods of displaying a static image.
Their rated life is up to ten years continuous use, requiring only a low cost replacement backlight after typically 50kh use.
By contrast, a plasma display normally needs replacing completely after 25 or 30kh continuous use.
The two sizes offered by Trident are an almost direct replacement for the popular sizes of plasma screen.
The 40in version can substitute for a 42in plasma, and the 30in is perfect for use as a flight information display screen (FIDS) at check in desks and similar applications.
Both displays offer exceptional screen performance and resolution, and have wide viewing angle (IPS) technology to give a viewing angle of up to 170 degrees in a horizontal and vertical plane.
