What
is the difference between a "flat panel"
monitor and a "flat screen" display? |
|
Both
terms refer to some aspect of the actual shape
of the monitors. "Flat panel" refers
to monitors whose case and screen
are flat - they are essentially shaped much like
a large book, turned on its long side. Flat panl
monitors can be very wide and very tall, but are
always thin from front to back (usually less than
4 inches). Thus, they can be hung on a wall, unlike
convential monitors, which are shaped more like
old television sets. This makes them very space
efficient, while also offering a perfectly focused
screen image with little glare.
"Flat
screen" displays are basically the same as
the CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) displays you usually
see on desktop computers, with one important difference
- the glass screen is perfectly flat, and not
slightly curved like most CRT displays. CTR displays
have to compensate for the curved angles of the
glass screen, which makes their picture somewhat
distorted and unfocused. Flat screen displays,
on the other hand, do not suffer from the concave
effect, so focus is near-perfect and straight
lines appear straight. Glare is also greatly reduced
with flat screen displays.

What
is the warranty when I purchase a monitor/display? |

Are
shipping costs included? |

No.
Shipping is extra and will be determined based
upon destination, weight, and speed of delivery
service. All monitors are shipped in special,
protective cases.

4:
|
Do
you offer insurance on rentals or leases? |
|
We
do not offer insurance, and you are responsible
for the safekeeping of the equipment while it
is rented/leased. However, most insurance companies
can offer you a "rider" on top of your
existing office contents or homeowner's policy
to insure the equipment during the rental/lease
period.

|
Do
you offer quantity discounts? |

10:
|
What
will these monitors/displays hook up to? |
|
It
generally depends on the size of the monitor,
but the larger units (21" and greater) have
more inputs than the smaller ones. Typically the
larger units will accommodate a video input as
well as a computer input. See the spec sheet for
each monitor/display for details.
